I have been using this code in Boostrap 4 beta and everything was ok.
<label for="username" th:text="#{login.user">User</label>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="icon-user"></i></span> <input
type="text" id="username" name="username" class="form-control"
placeholder="Usuario" th:placeholder="#{login.user}"
th:required="true" />
</div>
Now, I've updated my Bootstrap 4 to current v4.0.0., but with that, the code is not working. The input-group-addon class is not present in the Bootstrap css file.
If I add this to my css style file everything works ok:
.input-group-addon {
padding: .375rem .75rem;
margin-bottom: 0;
font-size: 1rem;
font-weight: 400;
line-height: 1.5;
color: #495057;
text-align: center;
background-color: #e9ecef;
border: 1px solid #ced4da;
}
Am I'm doing somenthing wrong?
Thanks
It looks like you need mandatory wrap icon with <span class="input-group-text"><i class="icon-user"></i></span> to display it correctly
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<span class="input-group-text"><i class="icon-user"></i></span>
<input ...>
</div>
</div>
Here is a link to official Bootstrap 4 migration guide for Input Groups were they say that
We’ve dropped .input-group-addon and .input-group-btn for two new classes, .input-group-prepend and .input-group-append. You must explicitly use an append or a prepend now, simplifying much of our CSS. Within an append or prepend, place your buttons as they would exist anywhere else, but wrap text in .input-group-text.
I am using a form-inline class on my form and it looks great on a desktop. But when I get to the XS width EVERYTHING stacks one ontop of each other, but it's unnecessary. I only need each form-group to stack, not the form inputs inside each.
I would like to have the 3 date selects on one row and the 2 time selects on a new row below.
My HTML:
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputName2">Passengers</label><br />
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputName2" placeholder="2">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail2">Departure Date / Time</label><br />
<select class="form-control" style="max-width:100px"><option>31</option></select>
<select class="form-control" style="max-width:100px"><option>Jan</option></select>
<select class="form-control" style="max-width:100px"><option>2015</option></select> <strong>at</strong>
<select class="form-control" style="max-width:100px"><option>12</option></select> <strong>:</strong>
<select class="form-control" style="max-width:100px"><option>00</option></select>
</div>
</form>
The Bootstrap example for .inline-form states:
Add .form-inline to your form (which doesn't have to be a ) for left-aligned and inline-block controls. This only applies to forms within viewports that are at least 768px wide.
The CSS they include is:
#media (min-width: 768px)
.form-inline .form-control {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
vertical-align: middle;
so this is why the form changes to vertical at a small resolution.
You should be able to prevent this behavior by adding the CSS:
.form-inline .form-control {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
vertical-align: middle;
(the same as Bootstrap's CSS, but without the media query)
How can I add a glyphicon to a text type input box? For example I want to have 'icon-user' in a username input, something like this:
Without Bootstrap:
We'll get to Bootstrap in a second, but here's the fundamental CSS concepts in play in order to do this yourself. As beard of prey points out, you can do this with CSS by absolutely positioning the icon inside of the input element. Then add padding to either side so the text doesn't overlap with the icon.
So for the following HTML:
<div class="inner-addon left-addon">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i>
<input type="text" class="form-control" />
</div>
You can use the following CSS to left and right align glyphs:
/* enable absolute positioning */
.inner-addon {
position: relative;
}
/* style icon */
.inner-addon .glyphicon {
position: absolute;
padding: 10px;
pointer-events: none;
}
/* align icon */
.left-addon .glyphicon { left: 0px;}
.right-addon .glyphicon { right: 0px;}
/* add padding */
.left-addon input { padding-left: 30px; }
.right-addon input { padding-right: 30px; }
Demo in Plunker
Note: This presumes you're using glyphicons, but works equally well with font-awesome.
For FA, just replace .glyphicon with .fa
With Bootstrap:
As buffer points out, this can be accomplished natively within Bootstrap by using Validation States with Optional Icons. This is done by giving the .form-group element the class of .has-feedback and the icon the class of .form-control-feedback.
The simplest example would be something like this:
<div class="form-group has-feedback">
<label class="control-label">Username</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" />
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user form-control-feedback"></i>
</div>
Pros:
Includes support for different form types (Basic, Horizontal, Inline)
Includes support for different control sizes (Default, Small, Large)
Cons:
Doesn't include support for left aligning icons
To overcome the cons, I put together this pull-request with changes to support left aligned icons. As it is a relatively large change, it has been put off until a future release, but if you need these features today, here's a simple implementation guide:
Just include the these form changes in css (also inlined via hidden stack snippet at the bottom)*LESS: alternatively, if you are building via less, here's the form changes in less
Then, all you have to do is include the class .has-feedback-left on any group that has the class .has-feedback in order to left align the icon.
Since there are a lot of possible html configurations over different form types, different control sizes, different icon sets, and different label visibilities, I created a test page that shows the correct set of HTML for each permutation along with a live demo.
Here's a demo in Plunker
P.S. frizi's suggestion of adding pointer-events: none; has been added to bootstrap

}

}

width: 30px;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px !important;
}
.input-lg + .form-control-feedback,
.form-horizontal .form-group-lg .form-control-feedback {
width: 46px;
height: 46px;
line-height: 46px !important;
}
.has-feedback label.sr-only ~ .form-control-feedback,
.has-feedback label.sr-only ~ div .form-control-feedback {
top: 0;
}
#media (min-width: 768px) {
.form-inline .inline-feedback {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.form-inline .has-feedback .form-control-feedback {
top: 0;
}
}
.form-horizontal .has-feedback-left .form-control-feedback {
left: 15px;
}
The official method. No custom CSS required :
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<div class="form-group has-success has-feedback">
<label class="control-label" for="inputSuccess4"></label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSuccess4">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user form-control-feedback"></span>
</div>
</form>
DEMO : http://jsfiddle.net/yajf3b7q
This demo is based on an example in Bootstrap docs. Scroll down to "With Optional Icons" here http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-control-validation
Here's a CSS-only alternative. I set this up for a search field to get an effect similar to Firefox (& a hundred other apps.)
Here's a fiddle.
HTML
<div class="col-md-4">
<input class="form-control" type="search" />
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</div>
CSS
.form-control {
padding-right: 30px;
}
.form-control + .glyphicon {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
padding: 8px 27px;
}
It can be done using classes from the official bootstrap 3.x version, without any custom css.
Use input-group-addon before the input tag, inside of input-group then use any of the glyphicons, here is the code
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-xs-5">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon transparent"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></span></span>
<input class="form-control left-border-none" placeholder="User Name" type="text" name="username">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here is the output
To customise it further add a couple of lines of custom css to your own custom.css file (adjust padding if needed)
.transparent {
background-color: transparent !important;
box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.075);
}
.left-border-none {
border-left:none !important;
box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.075);
}
By making the background of the input-group-addon transparent and making the left gradient of the input tag to zero the input will have a seamless appearance. Here is the customised output
Here is a jsbin example
This will solve the custom css problems of overlapping with labels, alignment while using input-lg and focus on tab issue.
Here is how I did it using only the default bootstrap CSS v3.3.1:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Start:</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" aria-describedby="start-date">
<span class="input-group-addon" id="start-date"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span></span>
</div>
</div>
And this is how it looks:
If you are using Fontawesome you can do this :
<input type="text" style="font-family:Arial, FontAwesome" placeholder="" />
Result
The complete list of unicode can be found in the The complete Font Awesome 4.6.3 icon reference
This 'cheat' will work with the side effect that the glyphicon class will change the font for the input control.
Fiddle
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="search" placeholder=""/>
If you want to get rid of the side effect you can remove the "glyphicon" class and add the following CSS (There may be a better way to style the placeholder pseudo element and I've only tested on Chrome).
Fiddle
.form-control[type="search"]::-webkit-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control[type="search"]:-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control[type="search"]::-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control[type="search"]:-ms-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
Possibly an even cleaner solution:
Fiddle
CSS
.form-control.glyphicon {
font-family:inherit;
}
.form-control.glyphicon::-webkit-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control.glyphicon:-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control.glyphicon::-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control.glyphicon:-ms-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
HTML
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="search" placeholder=" search" />
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="text" placeholder=" username" />
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="password" placeholder=" password" />
Here is a non-bootstrap solution that keeps your markup simple by embedding the image representation of the glyphicon directly in the CSS using base64 URI encoding.
input {
border:solid 1px #ddd;
}
input.search {
padding-left:20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position-y: 1px;
background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAASCAYAAABb0P4QAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAADsMAAA7DAcdvqGQAAADbSURBVDhP5ZI9C4MwEIb7//+BEDgICA6C4OQgBJy6dRIEB6EgCNkEJ4e3iT2oHzH9wHbpAwfyJvfkJDnhYH4kHDVKlSAigSAQoCiBKjVGXvaxFXZnxBQYkSlBICII+22K4jM63rbHSthCSdsskVX9Y6KxR5XJSSpVy6GbpbBKp6aw0BzM0ShCe1iKihMXC6EuQtMQwukzPFu3fFd4+C+/cimUNxy6WQkNnmdzL3NYPfDmLVuhZf2wZYz80qDkKX1St3CXAfVMqq4cz3hTaGEpmctxDPmB0M/fCYEbAwZYyVKYcroAAAAASUVORK5CYII=);
}
<input class="search">

}
input.search {
padding-left:20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position-y: 1px;

}
<input class="search">
Here's another way to do it by placing the glyphicon using the :before pseudo element in CSS.
Working demo in jsFiddle
For this HTML:
<form class="form form-horizontal col-xs-12">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-xs-7">
<span class="usericon">
<input class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Username" />
</span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Use this CSS (Bootstrap 3.x and Webkit-based browsers compatible)
.usericon input {
padding-left:25px;
}
.usericon:before {
height: 100%;
width: 25px;
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
-webkit-box-align: center;
position: absolute;
content: "\e008";
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
pointer-events: none;
}
As #Frizi said, we have to add pointer-events: none; so that the cursor doesn't interfere with the input focus. All the others CSS rules are for centering and adding the proper spacing.
The result:
You can use its Unicode HTML
So to add a user icon, just add to the placeholder attribute, or wherever you want it.
You may want to check this cheat sheet.
Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=" placeholder..." style="font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial">
<input type="text" class="form-control" value=" value..." style="font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value=" submit-button" style="font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial">
Don't forget to set the input's font to the Glyphicon one, using the
following code: font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial, where
Arial is the font of the regular text in the input.
Tested with Bootstrap 4.
Take a form-control, and add is-valid to its class. Notice how the control turns green, but more importantly, notice the checkmark icon on the right of the control? This is what we want!
Example:
.my-icon {
padding-right: calc(1.5em + .75rem);
background-image: url('https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.2/svgs/regular/calendar-alt.svg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center right calc(.375em + .1875rem);
background-size: calc(.75em + .375rem) calc(.75em + .375rem);
}

<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-5">
<input type="text" id="date" class="form-control my-icon" placeholder="Select...">
</div>
</div>
I also have one decision for this case with Bootstrap 3.3.5:
<div class="col-sm-5">
<label for="date">
<input type="date" placeholder="Date" id="date" class="form-control">
</label>
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar col-sm-pull-2"></i>
</div>
On input I have something like this:
Here's how it works in pure Bootstrap 5:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>iconbutton</title>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.2.0-beta1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.1.1/css/all.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="d-flex flex-row align-items-center m-4 border rounded">
<i class="fa-solid fa-search mx-2"></i>
<input type="text" class="form-control border-0" placeholder="Search">
</div>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.2.0-beta1/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
To remove the border that appears on focus, add shadow-0 to the input.
If you are fortunate enough to only need modern browsers: try css transform translate. This requires no wrappers, and can be customized so that you can allow more spacing for input[type=number] to accomodate the input spinner, or move it to the left of the handle.
#import url("//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css");
.is-invalid {
height: 30px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.is-invalid-x {
font-size:27px;
vertical-align:middle;
color: red;
top: initial;
transform: translateX(-100%);
}

<input class="is-invalid"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-exclamation-sign is-invalid-x"></span>

You should be able to do this with existing bootstrap classes and a little custom styling.
<form>
<div class="input-prepend">
<span class="add-on">
<i class="icon-user"></i>
</span>
<input class="span2" id="prependedInput" type="text" placeholder="Username" style="background-color: #eeeeee;border-left: #eeeeee;">
</div>
Edit The icon is referenced via the icon-user class. This answer was written at the time of Bootstrap version 2. You can see the reference on the following page: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html#images
I can't figure out what controls the margins between these inline form elements. For example the margin between the two text input fields.
EDIT:
I know how to control to alter these margins, but why is there a margin between them AT THE MOMENT. I can't find any CSS in bootstrap that is responsible for these 3 or 4px margins between them at the moment.
The space between the inputs on Bootstrap's documentation is due to white space in the HTML. Remember that .form-group is set to inline block, which is sensitive to white space.
For a demonstration, see http://jsfiddle.net/kvcrawford/Rs54Q/1/
You can fix it with some CSS like the following:
.form-inline-space-fix .form-group {
margin-right: 4px;
}
.form-inline-space-fix .form-group:last-child {
margin-right: 0;
}
Here are the CSS selectors you will need..
Margin the inputs/fields:
.form-inline .form-group {
margin: 0px 10px; /* Add something like this */
}
Margin for the checkbox/radio button:
.form-inline .radio, .form-inline .checkbox {
margin: 0px 10px; /* Add something like this */
}
Margin for the submit button:
.bs-example > .btn, .bs-example > .btn-group {
margin: 0px 10px; /* Add something like this */
}
Margin for the entire inline form
.bs-example {
margin: 0px 30px; /* Add something like this */
}
And to answer your question, there are currently margins between elements, because that is the default. If you wish to remove them, I would suggest doing this manually by adding negative margins to the CSS controls I specified above. For instance, if you wish to remove the margins between the inputs, do this:
.form-inline .form-group {
margin: 0px -3px; /* Add a negative margin to remove it*/
}
I understand what you are confused about. You want to know why is there a gap between two input fields.
For that the answer actually lies on the parent form class bs-example form-inline. There if you inspect using firebug or chromes's chromebug , then you will see a style like this : .bs-example {margin: 0 -15px 15px;} . Now this is the part that is controlling the space between the two individal input fields. If you block that using the fire bug or chrome bug ,then you will see that the fields actually lie one below the other and it's this margin along with vertical-align positioning that keeps both of them in place .
Watching the HTML code needed for the form
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="exampleInputEmail2">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail2"
placeholder="Enter email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="exampleInputPassword2">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword2"
placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox">Remember me</label>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Sign in</button>
</form>
for example to put more margin after the input fields, you can:
form.form-inline div.form-group {
margin-right: 10px;
}
Similarly, you can do the same trick for the other elements (e.g. for the checkbox form.form-inline div.checkbox, for the submit button form.form-inline button)
I am trying to create tableless Form using and tags, im stuck.
I want the form look like this:
I should be able to set the width of textbox, text area and select in CSS.
Make each row a <p> containing a <label> and an <input>, both display: inline-block with preset width. (The <label> should be text-align: right)
The buttons can be float: right.
This is a good walk through: http://woork.blogspot.com/2008/06/clean-and-pure-css-form-design.html
check out working example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/bRm3P/2/
<form>
<label>To: <input type="text" /></label>
<label>Subject: <input type="text" /></label>
<label>Message: <textarea></textarea></label>
<div class="submit-container">
<input type="submit" value="submit"/><input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</div>
</form>
<style>
form {
width: 500px;
}
label {
display: block;
text-align: right;
margin-bottom: 4px;
}
label input,label textarea {
border: 1px solid #DEDEDE;
width: 80%;
vertical-align: top;
}
.submit-container {
padding-top: 4px;
text-align: right;
}
</style>
A nice semantic layout would be one of the following:
<ul>
<li><label>To <input></label></li>
...
</ul>
Or with a dl (more common):
<dl>
<dt><label>To</label></dt><dd><input></dd>
...
</dl>
You will find lots of ways to layout the latter if you google for: definition list layout form
