How to create a login form

Step 1 - Add HTML:

Add an image in the container and add input controls (with matching labels) for each field. Wrap them in a <form> element to handle input.

You can find more information about how to handle input information on our PHP Tutorial Learn more about how to handle input information here.

<form action="action_page.php" method="post">
  <div class="imgcontainer">
    <img src="img_avatar2.png" alt="Avatar" class="avatar">
  </div>
  <div class="container">
    <label for="uname"><b>Username</b></label>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Enter Username" name="uname" required>
    <label for="psw"><b>Password</b></label>
    <input type="password" placeholder="Enter Password" name="psw" required>
    <button type="submit">Login</button>
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="remember"> Remember me
    </label>
  </div>
  <div class="container" style="background-color:#f1f1f1">
    <button type="button" class="cancelbtn">Cancel</button>
    <span class="psw">Forgot <a href="#">password?</a></span>
  </div>
</form>

Second step - Add CSS:

/* Form with border */
form {
  border: 3px solid #f1f1f1;
}
/* Full-width input boxes */
input[type=text], input[type=password] {
  width: 100%;
  padding: 12px 20px;
  margin: 8px 0;
  display: inline-block;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
/* Set styles for all buttons */
button {
  background-color: #04AA6D;
  color: white;
  padding: 14px 20px;
  margin: 8px 0;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;
  width: 100%;
}
/* Add hover effect to the button */
button:hover {
  opacity: 0.8;
}
/* Set additional style for cancel button (red) */
.cancelbtn {
  width: auto;
  padding: 10px 18px;
  background-color: #f44336;
}
/* Center the avatar image within this container */
.imgcontainer {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 24px 0 12px 0;
}
/* Avatar image */
img.avatar {
  width: 40%;
  border-radius: 50%;
}
/* Add padding to the container */
.container {
  padding: 16px;
}
/* "Forgot password" text */
span.psw {
  float: right;
  padding-top: 16px;
}
/* Change the style of span and cancel button on extra small screens */
@media screen and (max-width: 300px) {
  span.psw {
    display: block;
    float: none;
  }
  .cancelbtn {
    width: 100%;
  }
}

How to Create a Modal Login Form

Step 1 - Add HTML:

<!-- 打开模式登录表单的按钮 -->
<button onclick="document.getElementById('id01').style.display='block'">Login</button>
<!-- 模态 -->
<div id="id01" class="modal">
  <span onclick="document.getElementById('id01').style.display='none'"
class="close" title="Close Modal">×</span>
  <!-- 模态内容 -->
  <form class="modal-content animate" action="/action_page.php">
    <div class="imgcontainer">
      <img src="img_avatar2.png" alt="Avatar" class="avatar">
    </div>
    <div class="container">
      <label for="uname"><b>Username</b></label>
      <input type="text" placeholder="Enter Username" name="uname" required>
      <label for="psw"><b>Password</b></label>
      <input type="password" placeholder="Enter Password" name="psw" required>
      <button type="submit">Login</button>
      <label>
        <input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="remember"> Remember me
      </label>
    </div>
    <div class="container" style="background-color:#f1f1f1">
      <button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('id01').style.display='none'" class="cancelbtn">Cancel</button>
      <span class="psw">Forgot <a href="#">password?</a></span>
    </div>
  </form>
</div>

Second step - Add CSS:

/* Modal (background) */
.modal {
  display: none; /* Default is hidden */
  position: fixed; /* Stay in place */
  z-index: 1; /* Place on top */
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%; /* Full width */
  height: 100%; /* Full height */
  overflow: auto; /* Enable scrolling if needed */
  background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /* Black with transparency */
  padding-top: 60px;
}
/* Modal content/box */
.modal-content {
  background-color: #fefefe;
  margin: 5px auto; /* 15% from the top and centered */
  border: 1px solid #888;
  width: 80%; /* May vary slightly, depending on the screen size */
}
/* Close button */
.close {
  /* Position it at the upper right corner outside the modal */
  position: absolute;
  right: 25px;
  top: 0;
  color: #000;
  font-size: 35px;
  font-weight: bold;
}
/* Close button on hover */
.close:hover,
.close:focus {
  color: red;
  cursor: pointer;
}
/* Add zoom animation */
.animate {
  -webkit-animation: animatezoom 0.6s;
  animation: animatezoom 0.6s
}
@-webkit-keyframes animatezoom {
  from {-webkit-transform: scale(0)}
  to {-webkit-transform: scale(1)}
}
@keyframes animatezoom {
  from {transform: scale(0)}
  to {transform: scale(1)}
}

Hint:You can also use JavaScript code to close the modal by clicking on the area outside the modal content (not just using the "x" or "cancel" button):

<script>
// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('id01');
// Close the modal when the user clicks anywhere outside of it 
window.onclick = function(event) {
  if (event.target == modal) {
    modal.style.display = "none";
  }
}
</script>
