I am trying to beautify a form in bootstrap. I don't understand why I can not add some margin to a hyperlink thats below an input? I tried to remove bootstrap and that didn't work, so I don't think it has something to do with bootstrap!
https://jsfiddle.net/k8ws75je/
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ route('register') }}">
<div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('name') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
<label for="name" class="col-md-4 control-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="name" type="text" class="form-control" name="name" value="" required autofocus>
<span class="help-block">
<strong></strong>
</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email" class="col-md-4 control-label">E-Mail Address</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="email" type="email" class="form-control" name="email" value="" required>
<span class="help-block">
<strong></strong>
</span>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-4">
<a id="linkpassword" href="#">Change Password</a>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success pull-right">
Update
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
#linkpassword{
margin-top: 400px;
}
That's because a elements are inline elements, which cannot have vertical margins. Change it to an inline-block to make it work
#linkpassword{
margin-top: 200px;
display: inline-block;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/knu1badd/1/
#linkpassword{
margin-top: 400px;
position:absolute;
}
Make it display: block. Thus it will be as you want.
warp a element in a div block and apply the position/margin on this block.
Because a is an inline element.
<div class="margin-top">
<a id="linkpassword" href="#">Change Password</a>
</div>
In my sample, the button show in down.
<form id="search-site" action='search' method='get'>
<div class="input-field">
<input id="search" type="search" name='q'>
<label class="label-icon" for="search"><i class="material-icons" >search</i></label></div>
<button type="submit">search</button>
</form>
Try this Code
HTML
<div class="container">
<form id="search-site" action='search' method='get'>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-field">
<input id="search" type="search" name='q'>
<label class="label-icon" for="search">
<i class="material-icons" >search</i>
</label>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="input-group-addon btn">search</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
CSS
.input-group{
display:table;
width:100%;
}
.input-group .input-field,
.input-group .input-group-addon{
display:table-cell;
}
hope this helps..
I'm trying do a few customizations to the wordpress default search form and I would like to replace the text "Search" in the value="Search" string with an icon.
Currently I have the following form:
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="//example.com/">
<div class="box">
<div class="container-1">
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" placeholder="Search..." />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
How can I put in the following icon instead? <i class="fa fa-search"></i>
Here is a bit of a workaround, I replaced the input with button, removed value completely
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="//example.com/">
<div class="box">
<div class="container-1">
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" placeholder="Search..." />
<button type="submit" id="searchsubmit" />
<span class="icon"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Form seems to work just fine ..
I have a problem in Firefox with the size of a search form when screen have 768px or low, it does not fix the width of the form. Chrome does it good.
The css is the standard Bootstrap 3 files, but firefox opens bootstrap.css:null wihle chrome opens navbar.less and utilities.less
Here is the code:
<div class="pull-right">
<form class="navbar-form navbar-search" action="/portal/index.php/es/" method="post" role="search">
<div class="input-group">
<input name="searchword" id="mod-search-searchword" maxlength="200" class="form-control" type="search" size="20" placeholder="Buscar...">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_search">
<input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value="102">
</form>
</div>
Your use of pull-right on the initial element is causing the problem. Replacing this with text-right will acheive the same effect (ie. Search box aligned to the right) but columns will work as expected...
DEMO
<div class="text-right">
<form class="navbar-form navbar-search" action="/portal/index.php/es/" method="post" role="search">
...
</form>
</div>
I would like to have the labels not above the input field, but on the left side.
<form method="post" action="" role="form" class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="rg-from">Ab: </label>
<input type="text" id="rg-from" name="rg-from" value="" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="rg-to">Bis: </label>
<input type="text" id="rg-to" name="rg-to" value="" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="button" value="Clear" class="btn btn-default btn-clear">
<input type="submit" value="Los!" class="btn btn-primary">
</div>
</form>
This code gives me:
I would like to have:
You can use form-inline class for each form-group :)
<form>
<div class="form-group form-inline">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</form>
Put the <label> outside the form-group:
<form class="form-inline">
<label for="rg-from">Ab: </label>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" id="rg-from" name="rg-from" value="" class="form-control">
</div>
<!-- rest of form -->
</form>
The Bootstrap 3 documentation talks about this in the CSS documentation tab in the section labelled "Requires custom widths", which states:
Inputs, selects, and textareas are 100% wide by default in Bootstrap.
To use the inline form, you'll have to set a width on the form
controls used within.
If you use your browser and Firebug or Chrome tools to suppress or reduce the "width" style, you should see things line up they way you want. Clearly you can then create the appropriate CSS to fix the issue.
However, I find it odd that I need to do this at all. I couldn't help but feel this manipulation was both annoying and in the long term, error prone. Ultimately, I used a dummy class and some JS to globally shim all my inline inputs. It was small number of cases, so not much of a concern.
Nonetheless, I too would love to hear from someone who has the "right" solution, and could eliminate my shim/hack.
Hope this helps, and props to you for not blowing a gasket at all the people that ignored your request as a Bootstrap 3 concern.
You can create such form where label and form control are side using two method -
1. Inline form layout
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<button type="reset" class="btn btn-default">Reset</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Login</button>
</form>
2. Horizontal Form Layout
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail" class="control-label col-xs-3">Email</label>
<div class="col-xs-9">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword" class="control-label col-xs-3">Password</label>
<div class="col-xs-9">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<button type="reset" class="btn btn-default">Reset</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Login</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

I had the same problem, here is my solution:
<form method="post" class="form-inline form-horizontal" role="form">
<label class="control-label col-sm-5" for="jbe"><i class="icon-envelope"></i> Email me things like this: </label>
<div class="input-group col-sm-7">
<input class="form-control" type="email" name="email" placeholder="your.email#example.com"/>
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
</span>
</div>
</form>
here is the Demo
You can see from the existing answers that Bootstrap's terminology is confusing. If you look at the bootstrap documentation, you see that the class form-horizontal is actually for a form with fields below each other, i.e. what most people would think of as a vertical form. The correct class for a form going across the page is form-inline. They probably introduced the term inline because they had already misused the term horizontal.
You see from some of the answers here that some people are using both of these classes in one form! Others think that they need form-horizontal when they actually want form-inline.
I suggest to do it exactly as described in the Bootstrap documentation:
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="nameId">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="nameId" placeholder="Jane Doe">
</div>
</form>
Which produces:
You must float left all elements like so:
.form-group,
.form-group label,
.form-group input { float:left; display:inline; }
give some margin to the desired elements :
.form-group { margin-right:5px }
and set the label the same line height as the height of the fields:
.form-group label { line-height:--px; }
I think this is what you want, from the bootstrap documentation "Horizontal form
Use Bootstrap's predefined grid classes to align labels and groups of form controls in a horizontal layout by adding .form-horizontal to the form. Doing so changes .form-groups to behave as grid rows, so no need for .row". So:
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword3" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> Remember me
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Sign in</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

You can use a span tag inside the label
<div class="form-group">
<label for="rg-from">
<span>Ab:</span>
<input type="text" id="rg-from" name="rg-from" value="" class="form-control">
</label>
</div>
I managed to fix my issue with. Seems to work fine and means I dont have to add widths to all my inputs manually.
.form-inline .form-group input {
width: auto;
}
I am sure you would've already found your answer... here is the solution I derived at.
That's my CSS.
.field, .actions {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
.field label {
float: left;
width: 30%;
text-align: right;
padding-right: 10px;
margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
}
.field input {
width: 70%;
margin: 0px;
}
And my HTML...
<h1>New customer</h1>
<div class="container form-center">
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/customers" class="new_customer" id="new_customer" method="post">
<div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline"></div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_first_name">First name</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_first_name" name="customer[first_name]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_last_name">Last name</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_last_name" name="customer[last_name]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_addr1">Addr1</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_addr1" name="customer[addr1]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_addr2">Addr2</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_addr2" name="customer[addr2]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_city">City</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_city" name="customer[city]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_pincode">Pincode</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_pincode" name="customer[pincode]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_homephone">Homephone</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_homephone" name="customer[homephone]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="customer_mobile">Mobile</label>
<input class="form-control" id="customer_mobile" name="customer[mobile]" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="actions">
<input class="btn btn-primary btn-large btn-block" name="commit" type="submit" value="Create Customer" />
</div>
</form>
</div>

No CSS required. This should look fine on your page. You can set col-md-* as per your needs
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<div class="col">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail" class="col-sm-3">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control col-sm-7" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword" class="col-sm-3">Email</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control col-sm-7" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Button 1</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Button 2</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="firstname">First Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname"/>
</div>
</div>
Also we can use it Simply as
<label>First name:
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname"/>
</label>
It seems adding style="width:inherit;" to the inputs works fine.
