How to have different input text styles in same html form?

Question

I would like to show a form with submit button, to post the texts fields back to server with:

• a text input called title, with border
• text called chapter and section no border, and their should be assigned in JavaScript

I want chapter/section not modifiable and short. But Title is a normal input and should be very close to the word Title, like:

Chapter 3 Section 4 
       _____________
Title |_____________|

I wrote CSS like "input[type="notext"]{border: none} then either both text inputs have border, or none has border. I basically want the two inputs to have different style, or some other kind of field for chapter/section for me to set value is fine too. So how to achieve this? Don't need to be compatible for IE8 and before.

input[type="text"]{
border: none;
font-size: 16px;
}

<form action="#" method="post" id="form" >
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>Chapter<input type="text" value="3" name="cha_n" readonly/></td>
            <td>Section <input type="text" value="4" name="sec"     readonly/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Title  </td>
            <td><input type="text" style="inputtext" name="title" id="title"/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td span='2'><a id="submit" href="javascript: check()">Send</a></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</form>

Answer 1

You can define a CSS class for your inputs and just use them.

For inputs with class example:

input.example {
        border: none;
        font-size: 16px;
}

Use it like this:

<input class="example" type="text" value="3" name="cha_n" readonly/>

A less generic way to achieve this is to use CSS attribute selector:

input[name="cha_n"] {
    border: none;
}
