# [[CSS Other Form Elements]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
Beyond text inputs, CSS can style textareas, dropdown `<select>` menus, and form buttons — and with a media query, a form can switch from horizontal to a vertically stacked responsive layout below 600px. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Textarea** — by default a `<textarea>` can be resized with a "grabber" in the bottom-right corner; setting `resize: none;` removes the grabber. [S1]
- **Dropdown menu** — `<select>` elements can be styled with padding, border removal, border-radius, and background color. [S1]
- **Form buttons** — buttons of type "button", "submit", and "reset" can be styled with CSS. [S1]
- **Responsive form** — CSS media queries adapt the form layout when the screen narrows. [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **`box-sizing: border-box`** — keep padded fields at their declared width by including padding/border in the box width. [S1]
- **Disable native affordances** — remove the textarea resize grabber (`resize: none;`) and the `<select>` border (`border: none;`) for a custom look. [S1]
- **Type-attribute selectors for buttons** — target `input[type=button]`, `input[type=submit]`, and `input[type=reset]` together to style all action buttons uniformly. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
**Style Textarea**
By default, a `<textarea>` can be resized with a "grabber" in the bottom right corner. To remove the grabber, set the `resize` property to `none`: [S1]
```css
textarea {
  width: 100%;
  height: 150px;
  padding: 12px 20px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  border: 2px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 4px;
  background-color: #f8f8f8;
  resize: none;
}
```

**Style a Dropdown Menu**
A `<select>` element can be styled as follows: [S1]
```css
select {
  width: 100%;
  padding: 16px 20px;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 4px;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
```

**Style Form Buttons**
Form buttons of type "button", "submit" and "reset" can also be styled with CSS: [S1]
```css
input[type=button], input[type=submit], input[type=reset] {
  background-color: #04AA6D;
  border: none;
  color: white;
  padding: 16px 32px;
  text-decoration: none;
  margin: 4px 2px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

/* Tip: use width: 100% for full-width buttons */
```

**Note:** For more information about how to style buttons, read the CSS Buttons Tutorial. [S1]

**CSS Responsive Form**
The page demonstrates using CSS media queries to create responsive forms that adapt the layout when the screen width drops below 600px, stacking form labels and input fields vertically. [S1]

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
The page's examples are the applied cases: a non-resizable styled textarea, a borderless rounded `<select>`, a green action-button group, and a media-query-driven responsive form. No external project/commit applications found in the source.

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Borderless textarea without resize grabber (language: CSS):
```css
textarea {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  resize: none;
}
```
Group all action buttons by type (language: CSS):
```css
input[type=button], input[type=submit], input[type=reset] {
  background-color: #04AA6D;
  border: none;
  color: white;
  cursor: pointer;
}
```
