I'm making a form-inline using Bootstrap 4, but when I use a button, the position of the button is always at the top of the row, I want the button's position to be the same as the input field's position, which is in the middle of the row.
<form role="form" id="form_tambah_kriteria" class="margin-bottom-0">
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label>Tipe Decision Maker</label>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-append"><span class="input-group-text"><i class="ion-ios-contacts"></i></span></div>
<input type="text" name="tipe_dm[]" class="form-control" placeholder="Tipe Decision Maker">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label>Owned by:</label>
<div class="input-group">
<select class="form-control" name="owner_dm">
<option value="">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
</div>
</form>
The following is Codepen
The simple fix is to wrap the button in a form-group and prefix it with some invisible text ( or <br />). But it would be dead wrong, just a handy hack, because it would simply hide the underlying problem with your codepen.
The proper fix would be to:
use latest stable version of Bootstrap - your pen currently uses v4.0.0-alpha5 which doesn't contain a lot of bugfixes and, among others, does not contain Bootstrap's flexbox classes)
wrap the button in a .form-group.col-md-4
use d-flex align-items-end classes on the .form-row
Working example: https://codepen.io/andrei-gheorghiu/pen/KKKNxZg
Note: until you start using the latest stable version of Bootstrap's CSS, you'll keep running into problems which seemingly don't make any sense, because the version you're using is a pre-release which does not include a lot of what most Bootstrap 4 examples take for granted.
the solution is easy just add <br> before the button Delete for new line...like this:
<br> <button class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
You should put the button in the third column grid and use the <br /> .
you should do it as below:
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<br />
<button class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
</div>
I am new to slim and is struggling with getting the textfield and button on the same height. Can anyone help me?
div class="center-div"
= text_field_tag 'txtSlug', t('code.description'), class:'form-control input-lg'
button class="btn btn-primary" onclick="SubmitForm()" = t('code.submit')
Looking at bootstrap's inline forms, you must use form-inline to the "main parent" to make those elements inline and add form-group to the input element parent. So, it should look like.
div class="center-div form-inline"
.form-group
= text_field_tag 'txtSlug', t('code.description'), class:'form-control input-lg'
button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" onclick="SubmitForm()" = t('code.submit')
Here's a bootply of a similar markup
If you use Bootstrap, you should create an inline form with class form-inline, or even an input-group to join the input and button together.
Here is the documentation: for inline forms and input groups: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-inline
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="exampleInputAmount">Amount (in dollars)</label>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-addon">$</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputAmount" placeholder="Amount">
<div class="input-group-addon">.00</div>
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Transfer cash</button>
</form>
I need to use text box with a glyphicon in one straight line, here what I've done:
http://plnkr.co/edit/GZQeGTqDsvTh9XsXmMFy?p=preview
<div class="w3-row" style="vertical-align:middle">
<div class="w3-col s6">
<input ng-readonly="true" type="text" ng-model="login" placeholder="Login" class="form-control" />
</div>
<div class="w3-col s4">
<input class="form-control" ng-readonly="true" type="text" ng-model="password" placeholder="Password" />
</div>
<div class="w3-col s2">
<button class="glyphicon glyphicon-refresh btn btn-default"></button>
</div>
</div>
It looks alright, but the glyph button is slightly below than the bottom line of text inputs, I want its height to be stretched to those inputs, or, at least, to be in the middle relatively to their center, then it will be good looking.
Please help me find the solution.
Notice:
Either w3.css or angular-ui's bootstrap can be used to solve this issue.
The solution should not depend on using the "form-inline".
The best solution would be the one which doesn't use "row" "col" classes whatsoever, because they make it impossible to stretch line horizontally to 100% and fill each column without making it look ugly!
Thank you.
change your button markup to this
<button class="btn btn-default">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-refresh "></span>
</button>

Hi I am not a good UI HTML developer but have to do some fixes on a form. I am surprised that text align is not working on this form. I can see this HTML but don't know how to align text right on label StockEnd.
<div class="col-sm-1">
<label class="control-label col-sm-1" for="StockEnd">End</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 ">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" name="StockEnd" class="form-control" id="StockEnd" ng-readonly="readonly" ng-model="Catalogdata.stockTo" ng-disabled="isDisabled" capitalize typeahead="item.number for item in getAutoCompleteStockNumber($viewValue)">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn-default btn" type="button" ng-click="stockNumberSearchClick('end')"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
This can be achieved with marginal adjustment to your HTML classes.
First, you must remove .col-sm-1 on your <label>, as this class causes a float:left to be applied to the element, which means any use of text-align will no longer affect it. With that class removed, you can then add .text-right to the parent of the <label>.
In the end, your HTML will look like:
<div class="col-sm-1 text-right">
<label class="control-label" for="StockEnd">End</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 ">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" name="StockEnd" class="form-control" id="StockEnd" ng-readonly="readonly" ng-model="Catalogdata.stockTo" ng-disabled="isDisabled" capitalize="" typeahead="item.number for item in getAutoCompleteStockNumber($viewValue)">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn-default btn" type="button" ng-click="stockNumberSearchClick('end')"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
Here's a Bootply to demonstrate.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
either add text-right class to the parent form-group
OR
modify the label to be display: block with text-right class to do this.
After discussing with my colleague, we made this change and it worked as required. Just removed the class from outer Div and it worked. So Instead of
<div class="col-sm-1">
<label class="control-label col-sm-1" for="StockEnd">End</label>
</div>
it is now
<div >
<label class="control-label col-sm-1" for="StockEnd">End</label>
</div>
Rest is same no change.
Update again: I am closing this question by selecting the top answer to keep people from adding answers without really understanding the question. In reality there is no way to do it with the build in functionality without using grid or adding extra css. Grids do not work well if you are dealing with help-block elements that need to go beyond a short input for example but they are 'build-in'. If that is an issue I recommend using extra css classes which you can find in the BS3 discussion here. Now that BS4 is out it is possible to use the included sizing styles to manage this so this is not going to be relevant for much longer. Thanks all for good input on this popular SO question.
Update: This question remains open because it is about built-in functionality in BS to manage input width without resorting to grid (sometimes they have to be managed independently). I already use custom classes to manage this so this is not a how-to on basic css. The task is in BS feature discussion list and has yet to be addressed.
Original Question:
Anyone figure out a way to manage input width on BS 3? I'm currently using some custom classes to add that functionality but I may have missed some non documented options.
Current docs say to use .col-lg-x but that clearly doesn't work as it can only be applied to the container div which then causes all kinds of layout/float issues.
Here's a fiddle. Weird is that on the fiddle I can't even get the form-group to resize.
http://jsfiddle.net/tX3ae/
<form role="form" class="row">
<div class="form-group col-lg-1">
<label for="code">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group col-lg-1 ">
<label for="code">Email</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control input-normal">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
What you want to do is certainly achievable.
What you want is to wrap each 'group' in a row, not the whole form with just one row. Here:
<div class="container">
<h1>My form</h1>
<p>How to make these input fields small and retain the layout.</p>
<form role="form">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-lg-1">
<label for="code">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-lg-1 ">
<label for="code">Email</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control input-normal" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
The NEW jsfiddle I made:
NEW jsfiddle
Note that in the new fiddle, I've also added 'col-xs-5' so you can see it in smaller screens too - removing them makes no difference. But keep in mind in your original classes, you are only using 'col-lg-1'. That means if the screen width is smaller than the 'lg' media query size, then the default block behaviour is used. Basically by only applying 'col-lg-1', the logic you're employing is:
IF SCREEN WIDTH < 'lg' (1200px by default)
USE DEFAULT BLOCK BEHAVIOUR (width=100%)
ELSE
APPLY 'col-lg-1' (~95px)
See Bootstrap 3 grid system for more info. I hope I was clear otherwise let me know and I'd elaborate.
In Bootstrap 3
You can simply create a custom style:
.form-control-inline {
min-width: 0;
width: auto;
display: inline;
}
Then add it to form controls like so:
<div class="controls">
<select id="expirymonth" class="form-control form-control-inline">
<option value="01">01 - January</option>
<option value="02">02 - February</option>
<option value="03">03 - March</option>
<option value="12">12 - December</option>
</select>
<select id="expiryyear" class="form-control form-control-inline">
<option value="2014">2014</option>
<option value="2015">2015</option>
<option value="2016">2016</option>
</select>
</div>
This way you don't have to put extra markup for layout in your HTML.
ASP.net MVC go to Content- Site.css and remove or comment this line:
input,
select,
textarea {
/*max-width: 280px;*/
}
I think you need to wrap the inputs inside a col-lg-4, and then inside the form-group and it all gets contained in a form-horizontal..
<form class="form form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-3">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="email">
</div>
</div>
...
</form>
Demo on Bootply - http://bootply.com/78156
EDIT: From the Bootstrap 3 docs..
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.
So another option is to set a specific width using CSS:
.form-control {
width:100px;
}
Or, apply the col-sm-* to the `form-group'.
Current docs say to use .col-xs-x , no lg.
Then I try in fiddle and it's seem to work :
http://jsfiddle.net/tX3ae/225/
to keep the layout maybe you can change where you put the class "row" like this :
<div class="container">
<h1>My form</h1>
<p>How to make these input fields small and retain the layout.</p>
<div class="row">
<form role="form" class="col-xs-3">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name" >
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="email" name="email">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/tX3ae/226/
<div class="form-group col-lg-4">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Enter email">
</div>
Add the class to the form.group to constraint the inputs
If you are using the Master.Site template in Visual Studio 15, the base project has "Site.css" which OVERRIDES the width of form-control fields.
I could not get the width of my text boxes to get any wider than about 300px wide. I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked. I found that there is a setting in Site.css which was causing the problem.
Get rid of this and you can get control over your field widths.
/* Set widths on the form inputs since otherwise they're 100% wide */
input[type="text"],
input[type="password"],
input[type="email"],
input[type="tel"],
input[type="select"] {
max-width: 280px;
}
I know this is an old thread, but I experienced the same issue with an inline form, and none of the options above solved the issue. So I fixed my inline form like so:-
<form class="form-inline" action="" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-xs-7" style="padding-right: 0;">
<label class="sr-only" for="term">Search</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" style="width: 100% !important;" name="term" id="term" placeholder="Search..." autocomplete="off">
<span class="help-block">0 results</span>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-xs-2">
<button type="submit" name="search" class="btn btn-success" id="search">Search</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
That was my solution. Bit hacky hack, but did the job for an inline form.
You can add the style attribute or you can add a definition for the input tag in a css file.
Option 1: adding the style attribute
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="ex1" style="width: 100px;">
Option 2: definition in css
input{
width: 100px
}
You can change the 100px in auto
I hope I could help.
In Bootstrap 3
All textual < input >, < textarea >, and < select > elements with .form-control are set to width: 100%; by default.
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-example
It seems, in some cases, we have to set manually the max width we want for the inputs.
Anyway, your example works. Just check it with a large screen, so you can see the name and email fields are getting the 2/12 of the with (col-lg-1 + col-lg-1 and you have 12 columns). But if you have a smaller screen (just resize your browser), the inputs will expand until the end of the row.
You don't have to give up simple css :)
.short { max-width: 300px; }
<input type="text" class="form-control short" id="...">
If you're looking to simply reduce or increase the width of Bootstrap's input elements to your liking, I would use max-width in the CSS.
Here is a very simple example I created:
<form style="max-width:500px">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Email Address">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control" rows="5" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
I've set the whole form's maximum width to 500px. This way you won't need to use any of Bootstrap's grid system and it will also keep the form responsive.
I'm also struggled with the same problem, and this is my solution.
HTML source
<div class="input_width">
<input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" placeholder="sample">
</div>
Cover input code with another div class
CSS source
.input_width{
width: 450px;
}
give any width or margin setting on covered div class.
Bootstrap's input width is always default as 100%, so width is follow that covered width.
This is not the best way, but easiest and only solution that I solved the problem.
Hope this helped.
I do not know why everyone has seem to overlook the site.css file in the Content folder. Look at line 22 in this file and you will see the settings for input to be controlled. It would appear that your site is not referencing this style sheet.
I added this:
input, select, textarea { max-width: 280px;}
to your fiddle and it works just fine.
You should never ever update bootstrap.css or bootstrap.min.css. Doing so will set you up to fail when bootstrap gets updated. That is why the site.css file is included. This is where you can make changes to site that will still give you the responsive design you are looking for.
Here is the fiddle with it working
Add and define terms for the style="" to the input field, that's the easiest way to go about it:
Example:
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email address:</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" style="width:200px;">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="pwd">Password:</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="pwd" style="width:200px">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
Bootstrap uses the class 'form-input' for controlling the attributes of 'input fields'. Simply, add your own 'form-input' class with the desired width, border, text size, etc in your css file or head section.
(or else, directly add the size='5' inline code in input attributes in the body section.)

</div>
<div class="form-group col-sm-4">
<label for="hours">Hours</label>
<input type="" class="form-control" id="hours" name="hours" placeholder="Total hours">
