I have a form group with both a label and input
<div class="col-md-12 form-group">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" id="name" [(ngModel)]="person.name" disabled/>
</div>
However the label displays above the input field, i need it at its side. I have bootstrap 4.0 installed.
I've tried with class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" and does not work either.
Any suggestions?
The col-sm-2 shouldn't be nested directly in col-md-12. Use the grid like this...
https://www.codeply.com/go/Gdt1BZs9Hg
<form class="col-12">
<div class="form-row">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control col-sm-10" name="name" id="name" [(ngModel)]="person.name" disabled/>
</div>
</form>
Notice that form-row must used to contain the col-. The col-sm-10 controls the width of the input, so you can change that as needed. Read more in the docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/forms/#form-grid
Also, note the correct use of the grid row > columns from the Bootstrap docs...
In a grid layout, content must be placed within columns and only
columns may be immediate children of rows... You may also swap .row for .form-row, a variation of our standard grid row that overrides the default column gutters for tighter and more compact layouts.
You can achieve it by using class form-inline
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="col-md-12 form-group">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label" for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" id="name" [(ngModel)]="person.name" disabled/>
</div>
</div>
The suggestions in other posts didn't work in Bootstrap 5. So I tested it by updating one of the demos in the Bootstrap 5 documentation and it worked. With this demo application, <label>, <input> and <button> elements can be defined in a single line:

The form screenshot is available below: For more information, visit the Bootstrap 5 Input Group page.
See Bootstrap 4 documentation about Forms and use form-inline

<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" id="name" [(ngModel)]="person.name" disabled/>
</div>
I am trying to create a form with bootstrap. Here is my source code:
<div class="container">
<form action="" method="post" id="payment-form" novalidate autocomplete="on">
<span class="payment-errors"></span>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cc-number" class="control-label">Card number formatting <small class="text-muted">[<span class="cc-brand"></span>]</small></label>
<input id="cc-number" type="tel" class="input-lg form-control cc-number" autocomplete="cc-number" placeholder="•••• •••• •••• ••••" required class="col-md-2">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cc-exp" class="control-label">Card expiry formatting</label>
<input id="cc-exp" type="tel" class="input-lg form-control cc-exp" autocomplete="cc-exp" placeholder="•• / ••" required class="col-md-2">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cc-cvc" class="control-label">Card CVC formatting</label>
<input id="cc-cvc" type="tel" class="input-lg form-control cc-cvc" autocomplete="off" placeholder="•••" required class="col-md-2">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary">Submit</button>
<h2 class="validation"></h2>
</form>
</div>
I want to do size="30" for fields. But the fields are still too large and this size doesn't affect fields. What changes should I do?
Please use this class
col-md-3 or col-md-2. Please use width="30px", hope this will help you.
EDITED:
if div is your main tag then put the code like
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cc-number" class="control-label">Card number formatting <small class="text-muted">[<span class="cc-brand"></span>]</small></label>
<input id="cc-number" type="tel" class="input-lg form-control cc-number" autocomplete="cc-number" placeholder="•••• •••• •••• ••••" class="col-md-3">
</div>
or you can use width like
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cc-number" class="control-label">Card number formatting <small class="text-muted">[<span class="cc-brand"></span>]</small></label>
<input id="cc-number" type="tel" class="input-lg form-control cc-number" autocomplete="cc-number" placeholder="•••• •••• •••• ••••" style="width:30px !important">
</div>
Meaning of numbers in col-md-4 , col-xs-1 , col-lg-2 in bootstrap
please let me know if you have any confusion.\
Thank you

I am trying to add this simple search form while applying form inline class so that controls appear next to each other, but I get the controls displayed above each other and the search bottom in white and looking strange, so can someone please tell me what I am missing here?
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<form class="form-inline" action="#" method="post">
Search<input type="text" id="search" name="search" class="input-small" placeholder="Search...">
<select id="searchon" name="searchon">
<option value="0">First Name</option>
<option value="1">Last Name</option>
</select>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Search</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
From Bootstrap reference, for inline forms :
This only applies to forms within viewports that are at least 768px
wide.
and as far as your layout is concerned,
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<form class="form-inline" action="#" method="post">
Search<input type="text" id="search" name="search" class="input-small" placeholder="Search...">
<select id="searchon" name="searchon">
<option value="0">First Name</option>
<option value="1">Last Name</option>
</select>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Search</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
its perfectly fine..inline :
working demo
I had similar issue with form-inline. For me input-group within form-inline worked to keep following input and button in a row next to each other instead of one on top of the other.
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="input-group">
<input class="form-control mr-sm-2" type="search" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search">
<button class="btn btn-outline-success my-2 my-sm-0" type="submit">Search</button>
</div>
</form>
I had a similar issue with a code snippet from bootstrap. I found that the 2 classes 'control-group' and 'controls' broke the inline. removing the 2 classes fixed it for me.
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="Name">Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="Name" placeholder="Name">
</div>
</div>
to:
<label class="control-label" for="Name">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="Name" placeholder="Name">
Yes! removing the second class from the div worked for me.
<form class="form-inline name=" search">
<fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
<input name="rego" id="search_box" style="text-transform:uppercase" maxlength="6" type="text" class="form-control input-md" placeholder="PLATE NO">
<input class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" type="submit" value=" Programe Tag " />
</div>
</fieldset>
to
<form class="form-inline name=" search">
<fieldset>
<input name="rego" id="search_box" style="text-transform:uppercase" maxlength="6" type="text" class="form-control input-md" placeholder="PLATE NO">
<input class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" type="submit" value=" Programe Tag " />
</fieldset>
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.
