FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How do you reduce space between label and input?

If you have no margin or padding applied and you still have this space, you could either use display: flex on the parent or display: block/inline-block on the label to get rid of these. Both label and input are display: inline , per default, so margin and padding bottom or top should not affect them.

How do you hide input fields in lightning component?

You could use SLDS styling classes, . slds-hide or . slds-hidden , to hide your component from user and let it hold the value for later use.

How do I add a space between elements in CSS?

The CSS padding properties are used to generate space around an element's content, inside of any defined borders. With CSS, you have full control over the padding. There are properties for setting the padding for each side of an element (top, right, bottom, and left).
