How To Create an Icon Form

Step 1) Add HTML:

Use a <form> element to process the input. You can learn more about this in our PHP tutorial. Then add inputs for each field:

Example

<form action="/action_page.php">
<h2>Register Form</h2>
<div class="input-container">
    <i class="fa fa-user icon"></i>
    <input class="input-field" type="text" placeholder="Username" name="usrnm">
</div>

<div class="input-container">
    <i class="fa fa-envelope icon"></i>
    <input class="input-field" type="text" placeholder="Email" name="email">
</div>

<div class="input-container">
    <i class="fa fa-key icon"></i>
    <input class="input-field" type="password" placeholder="Password" name="psw">
</div>

<button type="submit" class="btn">Register</button>
</form>

Step 2) Add CSS:

Example

* {box-sizing: border-box;}

/* Style the input container */
.input-container {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}

/* Style the form icons */
.icon {
padding: 10px;
background: dodgerblue;
color: white;
min-width: 50px;
text-align: center;
}

/* Style the input fields */
.input-field {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px;
outline: none;
}

.input-field:focus {
border: 2px solid dodgerblue;
}

/* Set a style for the submit button */
.btn {
background-color: dodgerblue;
color: white;
padding: 15px 20px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
width: 100%;
opacity: 0.9;
}

.btn:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
