If I have a form defined inside a bootstrap panel, then the form group layout goes to pieces.
I coloured the form red so that I could see where it was ;) here's the jsFiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/DTcHh/
I have found that if I add
.panel-body .form-horizontal .form-group {
margin-right: 25px;
margin-left: 25px;
}
to the css, I then get this
(I coloured the form red so that I could see where it was ;) )
so it looks like it's fixed, but seems a terrible hack to me
Is this is a bug in bootstrap
Do I just have to apply this css
Is there something wrong with my form definitions ?
thanks
According to bootstrap docs (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/css/#forms-horizontal), the class form-horizontal makes <form> act like a .row so you don't need to add it and have .col-**-* in from groups, label and stuff. The docs give you an example o
But you have a .row inside a .row and no .col-**-*. .row has negative margin to delete the padding of his parent so with no .col-**-* as parent it has 2 negative margins.
So it's kind of messy. I suggest removing your .row and .form-horizontal class to achieve the look you want or add the margin like you already did.
Here it's a fiddle.
Thanks to the other answer for pointing me in the right direction. I personally like the option of adding a column with 12 width that wraps around the other form-groups.
<form class="form-horizontal" style="background: red;">
<div class="col col-xs-12">
<div class="form-group">
<label>field 1</label>
<input class="form-control" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>field 2</label>
<input class="form-control" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here's the fiddle

I've been searching for a way to make my 'textarea' go to 100% inside it's column. I've seen a few different ways (none of which I've been able to work) to make a 'textarea' expand to 100% in Bootstrap. I've everything from custom in line CSS styles to using class="form-control col-lg-12" to overwriting Bootstrap's CSS.
Anyone have a working suggestion that would allow for fluid re-sizing?
Here is the code that I have. Right now the width goes to a little past the placeholder text.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-7">
<h2>#Model.EmployeeName</h2>
<h3>Employee #: #Model.EmployeeNumber</h3>
<h5>(Optional): Exception Log comments related to this shift for your Supervisor/Time Keeper.</h5>
<textarea rows="2" placeholder="Exception Log comments."></textarea>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-5 text-right">
<div ng-controller='TimeCtrl'>
<h2>{{ clock | date:'fullDate'}}</h2>
<h1>{{ clock | date:'HH:mm:ss'}}</h1>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-xxlarge btn-success" value="Punch In" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
I believe bootstrap's own form element class (form-control) is what will make form elements take up the full width of the column they are in.
<textarea class="form-control"></textarea>
class="form-control" must work. If it is not working, it means that somewhere in css file, max-width property is set for text-area which restricts the width. In this case check site.css file and remove max-width property.
Just add a 'form-control' class to textarea. If you are working on a small screen, col-lg-7 and col-lg-5 is cover all window.
And your columns text alings are different. You may see the col-sm-12 in your screen.
<textarea class="form-control" rows="2" placeholder="Exception Log comments."></textarea>
If you just add some custom CSS you can force it to use the entire container width
min-width: 100%
max-width: 100%
However, using the bootstrap class "form-control" also accomplishes this
Simply add form-control class to your textarea if you want 100% width on it, no need to add col-lg-12 because form-control class gives the 100% width of the parent to the element.
<textarea class="form-control" rows="4" placeholder="Exception Log comments."></textarea>
I got a following set up using the lastest twitter bootstrap framework:
http://jsfiddle.net/hfexR/2/
I now want that the input field takes the maximum width when there is no button next to.
How can I do this with pure css or with twitter-bootstrap itself?
Something like inline-block should go, I just don't get it at the moment...
You can use te class input-block-level like in this fiddle
<div class="container">
<div class="span4 well">
<form class="form-search">
<input type="text" class="input-block-level search-query">
</form>
<form class="form-search">
<input type="text" class="input-medium search-query">
<button type="submit" class="btn">Cancel</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
EDIT : since bootstrap v3, classes have evolved so use col-xx-X classes to obtain the result explained below (further changes may be necessary)
Live demo (jsfiddle)
You could use a .row-fluid and use .spanX to make the inputs fill their container :
<form class="form-search">
<div class="row-fluid">
<input type="text" class="input-medium search-query span12">
</div>
</form>
<form class="form-search">
<div class="row-fluid">
<input type="text" class="input-medium search-query span8">
<button type="submit" class="btn span4">Cancel</button>
</div>
</form>
It appears that a little fix is needed for the button/input combination :
/* May not be the best way, not sure if BS has a better solution */
/* Fix for combining input and button spans in a row */
.row-fluid > input + button[class*="span"] {
float: none; /* Remove the */
display: inline-block; /* floating */
margin-left: 0; /* Stick it to the left */
}
Last thing, you shouldn't combine .spanX and .well because of the padding and borders and other things, here is an example of why (jsfiddle).
How do I make a Bootstrap input field be exactly 100% as wide as its parent?
As steve-obrien wrote in Bootstrap Issue #1058:
Setting to 100% does not work when applied directly to an input field as it does not take in to account the padding. So you end up with 100% of the container plus the padding on the input box, so the input box usually breaks outside its container.
That ticket offers various solutions, but I'm looking for the best way to do it -- preferably a CSS class already provided by Bootstrap.
Applying the input-block-level class works great for me, across various screen widths. It is defined by Bootstrap in mixins.less as follows:
// Block level inputs
.input-block-level {
display: block;
width: 100%;
min-height: 28px; // Make inputs at least the height of their button counterpart
.box-sizing(border-box); // Makes inputs behave like true block-level elements
}
This is very similar to the style suggested by 'assembler' in his comment on issue #1058.
Just add box-sizing:
input[type="text"] {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
If you're using C# ASP.NET MVC's default template you may find that site.css overrides some of Bootstraps styles. If you want to use Bootstrap, as I did, having M$ override this (without your knowledge) can be a source of great frustration! Feel free to remove any of the unwanted styles...
/* Set width on the form input elements since they're 100% wide by default */
input,
select,
textarea {
max-width: 280px;
}
For anyone Googling this, one suggestion is to remove all the input-group class instances. Worked for me in a similar situation. Original code:
<form>
<div class="bs-callout">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="time" placeholder="Time">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<select name="dtarea" class="form-control">
<option value="1">Option value 1</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" name="reason" class="form-control" placeholder="Reason">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
New code:
<form>
<div class="bs-callout">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="time" placeholder="Time">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="form-group">
<select name="dtarea" class="form-control">
<option value="1">Option value 1</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<input type="text" name="reason" class="form-control" placeholder="Reason">
</div>
</div>
</form>
I found a solution that worked in my case:
<input class="form-control" style="min-width: 100%!important;" type="text" />
You only need to override the min-width set 100% and important and the result is this one:
If you don't apply it, you will always get this:
In order to get the desired result, you must set "box-sizing: border-box" vs. the default which is "box-sizing: content-box". This is precisely the issue you are referring to (From MDN):
content-box
This is the initial and default value as specified by the CSS standard. The width and height properties are measured including only the content, but not the padding, border or margin.
border-box
The width and height properties include the content, the padding and border, but not the margin."
Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box-sizing
Compatibility for this CSS is good.
Use .container-fluid, if you want to full-width as parent, spanning the entire width of your viewport.
What about?
input[type="text"] {
max-width:none;
}
Checking that some css file is causing problems. By default bootstrap displays over the entire width. For instance in MVC directory Content is site.css and there is a definition constraining width.
input,select,textarea {
max-width: 280px;}
just add:
width: 100% !important;
I would like to make the login and password field in thesame order. when i try to change order in css file with margin command, it moves both field.
Try something like this. There are many way to do it, but this is the most straighforward.
http://jsfiddle.net/QutGz/1/
dunno want is going on width the fiddle. You can accomplish evening out the "columns" like this:
label
{
float:left;
width: 100px;
}
input
{
float:left;
}
Set the width to something that will be larger than the largest label text.
You can use CSS float to fix the inputs position in relation to each other and their parents elements:
See this working Fiddle example!
Assuming a structure like:
<form method="post" action="#">
<div class="clear">
<label>KULLANICI ADI</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="foo">
</div>
<div class="clear">
<label>SIFRE</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="bar">
</div>
</form>
The CSS solution would be:
input[type="text"] {
float: right;
}
.clear {
clear:both;
}
I have a html form(ASP.Net MVC). The input textboxes are wrapped in a div with a class name of editor-field. Example html:
<div class="editor-field">
<input id="EmployeeNo" type="text" value="" name="EmployeeNo">
</div>
The style for the editor-field class is:
.display-field, .editor-field
{
float: left;
}
The textboxes are all way of to the right, how can I get it to be closer to the labels? I've tried adding margins and padding, but it doesnt work.
The problem was with the .editor-label. It had a width that was too big.
