Bootstrap modal with horizontal form - css

Question

I am trying to get a horizontal form inside of a bootstrap modal.
No matter what I try to do, the labels are above the form elements. I know it must be something simple, but I have tried everything I can think of.
This is what I have at the moment.
<div class="modal fade" id="newEventModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title">Modal title</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body form-horizontal">
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="title" class="control-label col-sm-2">Title</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="title">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="end" class="control-label col-sm-2">End</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<div class='input-group date' id='datetimepickerend'>
<input type='text' class="form-control" id='end' />
<span class="input-group-addon">
<span class="fa fa-calendar"></span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="allday" class="control-label col-sm-2">All day event</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="checkbox" class="form-control" id="allday">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="description" class="control-label col-sm-2">Description</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<textarea class="form-control" id="description"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="wwner" class="control-label col-sm-2">Owner</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<select name='owner'>
<option>Agent A</option>
<option>Agent B</option>
<option>Agent C</option>
<option>Agent D</option>
<option></option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Please help.

It's because of your window/screen size. You used .col-sm but you should use .col-xs as a basis because xs is for the smallest devices.
Always start with .col-xs and then if you require different functionality at a bigger device size (e.g. laptop) then you can introduce the other classes such as .col-sm or .col-md etc.
Bootstrap is mobile first. Whilst you used sm, chances are you were using a device that didn't fall into that category.
See here for more information on the Bootstrap grid classes.

jQuery('#mymodal').trigger('click');
