I am using bootstrap button groups for formatting on my desktop display of my webpage for groups of check boxes and radio buttons. However, when the button group is displayed on a mobile device it doesn’t look correct. I am wondering if there is an easy way of removing these formats to display standard check boxes and radio buttons. Thank you for your help.
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label id="label1" class="btn btn-default">
<input type="checkbox" name="popcorn" value="popcorn">Popcorn</input>
</label>
<label id="label2" class="btn btn-default">
<input type="checkbox" name="pictures" value="pictures">Pictures</input>
</label>
<label id="label3" class="btn btn-default">
<input type="checkbox" name="events" value="events">Events</input>
</label>
</div> </div></div></div>
UPDATE:
I guess I should add that it's wrapped in columns. The display-inline suggestion had no effect
something like this?
https://jsfiddle.net/dalinhuang/31gz6dh4/4/
.btn {
float: none;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
}
.btn-group {
display: flex;
}
or you want overflow:

or in the center:

Bootstrap 4.
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Enabled" class="control-label"></label>
<input asp-for="Enabled" class="form-control" type="checkbox" />
<span asp-validation-for="Enabled" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
I have a form (see image). I would like the check box to be underneath the word "Enabled" not centred like the other full width controls.
If I set "width: auto;" on the checkbox, this does the job, but then displays a small checkbox (I want a large one). See image.
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Enabled" class="control-label"></label>
<input asp-for="Enabled" class="form-control" style="width: auto;" type="checkbox" />
<span asp-validation-for="Enabled" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
My question is, how can I get a large left aligned checkbox on my form?
I am also searched before for the same issue, but not satisfied with the above answer that's why I have done my research and I found a good solution. Just add class "col-sm-1"
in the input tag, you are done.
<div class="col-8">
<input asp-for="IsUrgent" type="checkbox" class="form-control col-sm-1" />
<span asp-validation-for="IsUrgent" class="text-danger" />
</div>
you can also use like this if you are not satisfying with class name
input[type="checkbox"]{
width: 30px; /*Desired width*/
height: 30px; /*Desired height*/
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-appearance: none; /* if you want check inside box then remove this line*/
appearance: none; /* if you want check inside box then remove this line*/
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Enabled" class="control-label">Enabled</label>
<input asp-for="Enabled" class="form-control checkbox-large" type="checkbox" />
<span asp-validation-for="Enabled" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
</form>
Its not tidy by setting an height and width for the checkbox should do the trick.
.checkbox-large {
width: 25px !important;
height: 25px
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="Enabled" class="control-label">Enabled</label>
<input asp-for="Enabled" class="form-control checkbox-large" type="checkbox" />
<span asp-validation-for="Enabled" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
</form>
When I attempt to apply a maximum width to an input field, it positions the secondary button as if the input field didn't have a maximum width.
JSFiddle Example
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Date</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" maxlength="10" class="form-control datefield" placeholder="mm/dd/yyyy">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button id="btnClearDate" class="btn btn-secondary btn-default" type="button">Clear</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.datefield {
max-width: 100px;
}
Result:
How can I get the secondary button to correctly sit next to the text field?
Try using display:inline-block;

.input-group-btn {display:inline-block;}
Bootstrap is laid out by using a grid system. You will need to adjust your design layout to accomplish what you are looking to achieve.
What is happening now is all you are doing is shrinking down the size of the input box, but not the actual grid cell.
try adjusting just the cell or placing the form-group elements within a cell then within a targeting element you can shrink.
Try this,
#import url('//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css');
body {
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
.shrink {
width: 200px;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="shrink">
<label class="control-label">Date</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" maxlength="10" class="form-control datefield" placeholder="mm/dd/yyyy">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button id="btnClearDate" class="btn btn-secondary btn-default" type="button">Clear</button>
</span>
</div><!-- .input-group -->
</div><!-- .shrink -->
</div><!-- .form-group -->
</div><!-- .row -->
</div> <!-- .container -->
Hope that helps!
The span was not being displayed inline. I assume this was changed with the input-group-btn class. Here is the new code (I named the new class ):
#import url('//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css');
body {
margin: 10px;
}
.datefield {
max-width: 100px;
}
.buttoncleardiv {
display: inline;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Date</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" maxlength="10" class="form-control datefield" placeholder="mm/dd/yyyy">
<span class="input-group-btn buttoncleardiv">
<button id="btnClearDate" class="btn btn-secondary btn-default" type="button">Clear</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>

How can I prevent bootstrap button goups from breaking in to 2 lines when there is less space?
I am trying to use the below Bootstrap code:
<div class="btn-group" style=" width:100px ;">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" style=" width:30px;">-</button>
<input type="text" class="form-control" style="width:30px;">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" style=" width:30px;"> +</button>
</div>
And it looks like:
This is what worked for me, turn the group of buttons to a flex item (by default it does not wrap):
.btn-group {
display: flex;
}
I saw this here, and there are more options too:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/9939
I have another Bootstrap related problem.
I want to add radio and checkboxes to my form, I would like them also to take 100% width of form element.
I've added button group as this:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Subscribe</label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<div class="btn-group input-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-success">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option1" />Yes</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option2" />Maybe</label>
<label class="btn btn-danger">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option3" />No</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This gives me nice radio-like buttons:
But as You can see they have fixed width. Can this be fixed with bootstrap classes?
Again here is my sample code: http://jsfiddle.net/Misiu/yy5HZ/5/
Use the built in .btn-group-justified class: Offical Docs
Make a group of buttons stretch at equal sizes to span the entire
width of its parent. Also works with button dropdowns within the
button group.
Anchors:
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified" role="group" aria-label="Justified button group">
Left
Middle
Right
</div>
Buttons:
To use justified button groups with <button> elements, you must wrap
each button in a button group. Most browsers don't properly apply our
CSS for justification to <button> elements, but since we support
button dropdowns, we can work around that.
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified" role="group" aria-label="Justified button group">
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Left</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Middle</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Right</button>
</div>
</div>
JSFiddle
You can simply use the bootstrap col-n classes so if you have 2 buttons you use col-xs-6 on them. The problem is when you have 5 buttons for example. There is no class for that in the bootstrap grid system. So I woul use one of the following:
To differenciate between groups with different number of buttons use additional custom classes:
JSFiddle
CSS
.btn-group {
width: 100%;
}
.btn-group-2 label.btn {
width: 50%;
}
.btn-group-3 label.btn {
width: 33.3%;
}
HTML
<div class="btn-group btn-group-3 input-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-success">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option1" />Yes</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option2" />Maybe</label>
<label class="btn btn-danger">
<input type="radio" name="options" id="option3" />No</label>
</div>
If you want to avoid these css classes you can only use jQuery:
JSFiddle
$('.btn-group').each(function(index, item) {
$(item).find('.btn').css(
'width', 100 / $(item).find('.btn').length + '%'
)
});
Another solution:
.btn-group {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.btn-group > button {
width: 100%;
}
For boostrap 4 the docs say you can do this:
Removed .btn-group-justified. As a replacement you can use <div class="btn-group d-flex" role="group"></div> as a wrapper around elements with .w-100.
You can just add a class of your own and give them a 33% width (for the 3 buttons) or 50% width (for the 2 buttons).
If #Schmalzy's solution doesn't work then you might be using Bootstrap v3.0.0, for which add the following styles in addition to the html markup in #Schmalzy's solution.
.btn-group-justified > .btn-group .btn {
width: 100%;
}
.btn-group-justified > .btn, .btn-group-justified > .btn-group {
display: table-cell;
float: none;
width: 1%;
}
I'd like to have some "horizontally styled" fields inside a "vertically styled" form with Bootstrap.
How can I do that (if possible)?
You can leverage Bootstrap's existing classes (checkbox.inline)to get the effect you're looking for. The key to making it look right is to specify padding-left: 0px; on the labels:
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<label class="checkbox inline" style="padding-left: 0px;" for="inputColor">Favorite Color <input type="text" id="inputColor" class="span2" /></label>
<label class="checkbox inline" style="padding-left: 0px;" for="inputNColor">Next Color <input type="text" id="inputNColor" class="span2" /></label>
</div>
</div>
Please see http://jsfiddle.net/jhfrench/Hzucn/ for a working example.
I tried to create a new class for you (along the lines of .controls-row label.inline { padding-left: 0px;} so you wouldn't have to do styling on the element, but it caused more conflicts than I anticipated. So if you're going to use this solution pervasively, you might want to invest the time in untangling that...
You can use similar formatting to .form-horizontal implementation in bootstrap. (scroll sown to Horizontal Forms here: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#forms)
Wrap your labels and form elements in grouping divs (that's what .control-group does in Horizontal Form layout in bootstrap).
Float labels left to show them in horizontal alignment with the fields.
label.horizontal {
float: left;
width: 160px;
padding-top: 5px;
margin-right: 20px;
text-align: right;
}
In the above example, labels with class .horizontal will be "horizontally styled" and the rest "vertical" or default form layout.
there is a class ready to use on bootstrap!
check this example:
<div class="span6">
<form>
<div class="controls controls-row">
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" class="span3" placeholder="Name">
<input id="email" name="email" type="email" class="span3" placeholder="Email address">
</div>
<div class="controls">
<textarea id="message" name="message" class="span6" placeholder="Your Message" rows="5"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="controls">
<button id="contact-submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary input-medium pull-right">Send</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
