Tutorial Turn Off Number Input Spinners

by in , 0

WebKit desktop browsers add little up down arrows to number inputs called spinners. You can turn them off visually like this:

input[type=number]::-webkit-inner-spin-button, 
input[type=number]::-webkit-outer-spin-button { 
  -webkit-appearance: none; 
  margin: 0; 
}

Note that some other functionality still exists, like being able to increment the number via the scroll wheel on a mouse.

Top, on, Bottom, off.

There is no CSS property background-opacity, but you can fake it by inserting a pseudo element with regular opacity the exact size of the element behind it.

div {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  display: block;
  position: relative;
}

div::after {
  content: "";
  background: url(image.jpg);
  opacity: 0.5;
  top: 0;

  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
