positioning of bootstrap dropdown button with labels - css

Using bootstrap 3 I am trying to produce a row of labeled dropdown menus with a final query button. However the buttons are floating to the left of the labels due to the btn-toolbar CSS. Changing the btn-toolbar to float right produces a reversed order of query button and choices with the labels in the right position.
<div class="btn-toolbar row">
<div class="btn-group">
<label class="btn-label">Topic:</label>
<button id="choose_topic_title" type="button" class="btn btn-default">Select</button>
<button id="choose_topic" type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<span class="caret"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Toggle Dropdown</span>
</button>
<ul id="choose_topic_menu" class="dropdown-menu">
<li>all</li>
<li>weather</li>
<li>sports</li>
<li>business</li>
<li>news</li>
<li>arts</li>
<li>science</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<label for="choose_lang_title" class="control-label">Language:</label>
<button id="choose_lang_title" type="button" class="btn btn-default">Select</button>
<button id="choose_lang" type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<span class="caret"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Toggle Dropdown</span>
</button>
<ul id="choose_lang_menu" class="dropdown-menu">
<li>en-us</li>
<li>es-us</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<a href="#">
<button id="query_data" type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Query</button>
</a>
</div>
</div>
Does bootstrap have a simple way to position a horizontal row of labeled dropdown menus?
Here is a jsfiddle demonstrating the issue: https://jsfiddle.net/cgalles/nqmqka2e/4/

You can change float of your labels (or you can add pull-left class to labels).
.btn-toolbar .btn-label {
float: left;
}

How to apply theme source code to Shiny widgets?

Sorry, I have googled forever and I don't find the answer:
I have downloaded a css-file from Bootswatch and I have put it in my www directory where I have my app.R. Now I want to style my widgets to look like the different options presented at Bootswatch.
For example, to style an actionButton in the secondary button style, I put:
actionButton(
inputId = "action",
class = "btn-success")
How do I apply the more complicated styling source code? For example, for the selectInput widget the source code at Bootswatch is:
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Button group with nested dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupDrop1" type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"></button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop1" style="">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Button group with nested dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupDrop2" type="button" class="btn btn-success dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"></button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop2" style="">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Button group with nested dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupDrop3" type="button" class="btn btn-info dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"></button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop3" style="">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Button group with nested dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Danger</button>
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button id="btnGroupDrop4" type="button" class="btn btn-danger dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"></button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="btnGroupDrop4" style="">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown link</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This corresponds to four different styling options for selectInput. If I want to apply the success styling of the above code to a selectInput, where do I put it: As options to the relevant selectInput? In some header or tags for Shiny? Somewhere else?
I have already put the:
tags$head(tags$link(rel = "stylesheet", type = "text/css", href = "mytheme.css"))
In my R-script, but I don't know what to do next. Trying to read up on CSS now.
Edit: An example. My radio buttons right now look like:
I want them to look like:
I'm stupid, just use buttons from here:

How do I make the inline form be in the same line as the buttons?

I am making an app with Bootstrap 4. I have 3 buttons and an inline form, and I want the inline form to be in the same line as the buttons. Currently with this code the form is below the buttons. How can I make everything be in the same line?
<button type="button" class="mb-2 mr-2 btn btn-primary">
<span>Agregar</span>
</button>
<div class="d-inline dropdown">
<button aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" id="menuUtilidades" type="button" class="mr-2 mb-2 dropdown-toggle btn btn-primary">Utilidades</button>
</div>
<div class="d-inline dropdown">
<button aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" id="menuReportes" type="button" class="mb-2 dropdown-toggle btn btn-primary">Reportes</button>
</div>
<form class="mb-2 form-inline">
<!-- form that should be in same line -->
</form>
Add d-inline to your form
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<div class="container">
<button type="button" class="mb-2 mr-2 btn btn-primary">
<span>Agregar</span>
</button>
<div class="d-inline dropdown">
<button aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" id="menuUtilidades" type="button"
class="mr-2 mb-2 dropdown-toggle btn btn-primary">Utilidades</button>
</div>
<div class="d-inline dropdown">
<button aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" id="menuReportes" type="button"
class="mb-2 dropdown-toggle btn btn-primary">Reportes</button>
</div>
<form class="mb-2 form-inline d-inline">

how should i eliminate button shrinkage?

I'm looking for the right way of displaying buttons around an input field in one row, and avoid (if possible) the use the "width" attribute. I want the buttons and field to line up in a fixed width and position even as the value (that the user chooses from the drop down) change
<div class="row" style="margin-top: 30px;">
<div class="col-md-3"></div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group" style="padding-left: 40px;">
<div class="dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg dropdown-toggle btn-block" id="dropdownMenu1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<i class="fa fa-map-marker" style="color:blue"></i> United States <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu columns">
<li><strong>United States</strong></li>
<li>France</li>
<li>United Kingdom</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg dropdown-toggle btn-block" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
USD <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu columns">
<li><strong>USD</strong></li>
<li>EUR</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div class="form-group">
<label for="amountnum"> </label>
<input style="font-weight: bold;text-align: center" type="text" class="form-control input-lg" id="amountnum" placeholder="number" value="10">

<div class="form-group">
<div class="dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg dropdown-toggle btn-block" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
1 month <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu columns">
<li>1 Weeks</li>
<li>2 Weeks</li>
<li><strong>1 month</strong></li>
</ul>

</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3"></div>
</div>
</div>

when the screen opens, make the left pane narrower to see the buttons line up (instead of falling dropping to separate rows)
Suggestions are appreciated
Add the following CSS style
.navbar-form,.form-inline {
display: flex;
}
The use of flex (or inline-flex) is quite powerful. Combine with the css flex property on items to control the growth and shrinking of controls.
Google "CSS flex" for more.

Positioning menu below dropdown

I have the following code to display some buttons and dropdown menus.
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Toolbar Group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-add-btn">Add</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-delete-btn">Delete</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle as-btn-text as-conf-btn" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Configuration <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu as-toolbar-dropdown" role="menu">
<li>Enable
</li>
<li>Disable
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="button-group pull-right">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-refresh-btn"></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Toolbar Group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle as-btn-text as-conf-btn" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Configuration <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu as-toolbar-dropdown" role="menu">
<li>
<button id="btnEnable" type="submit" name="command" value="Enable"><span>Enable</span>
</button>
</li>
<li>
<button id="btnDisable" type="submit" name="command" value="Disable"><span>Disable</span>
</button>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
It works okay except one of the menus doesn't appear under the dropdown.
Fiddle here
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Looks like you are not using latest version of JQuery. Please update JQuery and use Bootstrap library to make this work.
In you fiddle, choose jQuery 2.1.0 and select Bootstrap 3.2.0 option.
Looks like I had to put the dropdown buttons into their own btn-group.

<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Toolbar Group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-add-btn">Add</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-delete-btn">Delete</button>

Trouble pulling button in btn-group to right

I have the following code which displays some buttons:
Fiddle
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Toolbar Group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-add-btn">Add</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-delete-btn">Delete</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle as-btn-text as-conf-btn" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Configuration <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu as-toolbar-dropdown" role="menu">
<li>A
</li>
<li>B
</li>
</ul>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-refresh-btn">X</button>
</div>
</div>
I want to pull the "X" to the far right of the group. I have tried .pull-right, float:right but neither seem to work.
Any ideas appreciated!
I would put the close ("X") button in its own .button-group and pull the group to the right:
<!-- previous button location -->
</div><!-- close the existing group -->
<div class="button-group pull-right">
<!-- new button location -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-refresh-btn">X</button>
</div>
</div><!-- end .btn-toolbar -->
Here's an update to your fiddle.
The advantage to this approach is that you get the correct button rounding based on the .button-group rules and you don't need to alter or override existing Bootstrap framework CSS.
Updated HTML
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" aria-label="Toolbar with button groups">
<div id ="b"class="btn-group" role="group" aria-label="Toolbar Group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-add-btn">Add</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-delete-btn">Delete</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle as-btn-text as-conf-btn" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Configuration
<span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu as-toolbar-dropdown" role="menu">
<li>A</li>
<li>B</li>
</ul>
<button type="button" id="right" class="btn btn-default as-btn-text as-refresh-btn">X</button>
</div>
</div>
Updated CSS:
#b{
width:100%;
}
#right{
float:right;
}
Working Example:http://jsfiddle.net/tmurmvnx/
In bootstrap 4 you can use the strong text class, check this simple example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg float-right" role="group">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-dark">
Btn 1
</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
Btn 2
</button>
</div>
