I'm making a form and I want the left half of the page to fill up the section. I have tried col-lg-4, changing the CSS width to 100%, nothing is changing the actual input field. I have searched Stack Overflow, but I couldn't find anything that worked. The first picture is what I have, and the second picture is what I was trying to recreate.
<section class="col-md-6">
<form class="form-group row">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Cool Person">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="you#yourdomain.com">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSubject" placeholder="what's up?">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea rows="6" class="form-control" placeholder="What's on your mind?"></textarea>
</div>
</form>
</section>
set css display property to inline-block and give width 100%
.form-control{
display:inline-block;
width:100%
}
ok first of all you cannot have two elements with the same id, because only the last element will get to have that id and the first one won't
to answer your question try to this in css
.form-group, .form-control {width : 100%;}
I'd rather though you'd give an id to your form and then call these classes as its children, like -#form_id .form-group {...
use bootstrap div as mentioned below and try
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputEmail"
placeholder="Cool Person">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="you#yourdomain.com">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSubject" placeholder="what's up?">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea rows="6" class="form-control" placeholder="What's on your mind?"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">

I have a horizontal form in bootstrap and I am trying to arrange a radio button with two text fields like so (sorry I can't embed the image):
However, I can't see to replicate this. I've tried the following (Jade markup):
.col-sm-4
.form-group
label.control-label(for='time') Time Range
.form-inline
.form-group
input(type='radio', id="from", name='time', value='from', data-toggle='radio')
label(for="from") From
.form-group
input(type='text', name='first')
.form-group
input(type='text', name='last')
Which results in everything being on one line, but the "From" is completely covered up and the two text boxes are back to back with no space. Is this a simple CSS fix, or am I mis-understanding form layouts in Bootstrap 3? Any feedback would be much appreciated.
EDIT: The rendered html is:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="time" class="control-label">Time Range</label>
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="radio" id="from" name="time" value="from" data-toggle="radio">
<label for="from">From</label>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="first">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="last">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here's how you want it:
<div class="form-inline">
<label for="time" class="control-label">Time Range</label>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="radio" id="from" name="time" value="from" data-toggle="radio">
<label class="control-label" for="from">From</label>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="first">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">To</label>
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="last">
</div>
</div>
See this demo
I'm not sure how to translate that into Jade markup--I'll leave that to you :)
EDITED to add: This is what an online converter spit out:
.form-inline
label.control-label(for='time') Time Range
.form-group
input#from(type='radio', name='time', value='from', data-toggle='radio')
label.control-label(for='from') From
.form-group
input.form-control(type='text', name='first')
.form-group
label.control-label To
input.form-control(type='text', name='last')
I want a form to have three controls in each row. But the width of the control in every row is different(less to be exact). Must I always use columns? Is that regular behaviour of css? Sometimes the css feels like a labyrinth to me
Here's what I have so far:
bootply
<form action="" method="post" role="form" class="form-inline">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_firstname">First Name</label>
<input type="text" name="firstname" class="form-control" id="id_firstname">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_middlename">Middle Name</label>
<input type="text" name="middlename" class="form-control" id="id_middlename">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_lastname">Last Name</label>
<input type="text" name="lastname" class="form-control" id="id_lastname">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_address">Address</label>
<input type="text" name="address" class="form-control" id="id_address">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_postalcode">Postal Code</label>
<input type="text" name="postalcode" class="form-control" id="id_postalcode">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_city">City</label>
<input type="text" name="city" class="form-control" id="id_city">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_telephone">PHone</label>
<input type="text" name="phone" class="form-control" id="id_telephone">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_mobile">Mobile</label>
<input type="text" name="mobile" class="form-control" id="id_mobile">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_email">E-mail</label>
<input type="text" name="email" class="form-control" id="id_email">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Sorry thought you only wanted the link. I also wrapped every .form-group with .col-md-4 but still the width of the inputs differ from each other
From Bootstrap Documentation on Inline Forms
Requires custom widths: 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.
Just apply the following css if you want all the inputs to be the same size
.form-group {
width: 300px;
}
.form-group input {
width: 300px;
}
bootply with css
OR fix the width of each of your form groups by adding col-md-4 class to each group like this:
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label for="id_telephone">Phone</label>
<input type="text" name="phone" class="form-control" id="id_telephone">
</div>
bootply with classes
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>
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/beewayne/B9jj2/29/
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.
jsfiddle demo
I'm trying to put an input field's label next to it instead of above it using bootstrap. Wrapping this in form-horizontal works, but it's not actually in a form (just an ajax call that reads the value). Is there a way to simply move the label to the left side of the input?
<div class="controls-row">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="my-number">ALabel</label>
<div class="controls">
<input id="my-number" type="number"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The fiddle is at http://jsfiddle.net/7VmR9/
Yes, you can do this by bootstrap column structure.
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-lg-4">Name:</label>
<div class="col-lg-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" id="name">
</div>
</div>
Here is a Bootply Demo
The div is a block element, that means it will take as much width as it can and the input element is in it.
If you want the label to be next to the input element: either put the label in the div or make the div an inline-block element.
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="my-number">ALabel</label>
<input type="number" id="my-number" class="form-control">
</div>
</form>
