I'm new to Bootstrap, I'm creating a registration form with two input fields:
<div class="input-group">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label" for="user_password">Password</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="{{passwordType}}" data-ng-change="passwordChanged();" data-ng-model="user.password"
class="form-control" id="user_password" name="user_password"
placeholder="Password" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Show Password</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="checkbox" data-ng-model="showPassword" data-ng-checked="showPassword"
data-ng-click="switchPasswordType()">
</div>
</div>
However I don't know what css style I'm missing but the label and the input field appeas one below the other at the left of the grid-container, so no like usual form. I have tried to put both inside a "" with the style="display:inline-block" and still same problem.
Any ideas how to sove that?
Thank you for your time.
Found the solution, I just created a row with two columns inside one for the label and other for the input and it made the job.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<label class="control-label" class="" for="user_email">Email</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="controls">
<input type="email" auto-focus autofocus="true" data-ng-model="user.email"
id="user_email" name="user_email"
placeholder="Insert your email" required>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I'm having trouble styling the following form using Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.2
I can't seem to right-align the button with the other labels. Also, I can't get the last textbox to be in line with the button.
This is the form I have so far: JSFiddle example
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputFirstname">First name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputFirstname" placeholder="First name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputSurname">Surname</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputSurname" placeholder="Surname">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">Email</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<button class="btn btn-primary">Browse</button>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputSomeText" placeholder="Some text">
</div>
</div>
This is the end result which I trying to achieve:
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Change your last control-group and also add margin-top:-5px; to the button (shown below via class label-btn):
HTML for last control-group:
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label"><button class="btn btn-primary inline label-btn">Browse</button></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputSomeText" placeholder="Some text">
</div>
</div>
CSS
.label-btn {
margin-top: -5px;
}
Updated fiddle
Change last control-group to this
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label">
<button class="btn btn-primary inline">Browse</button>
</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputSomeText" placeholder="Some text">
</div>
</div>
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.

I have a quick Bootstrap issue. I am setting up a form and it seems that the form label is not aligning to the input field. I have had an issue like this before which was solved by adding clearfix to the class. This did not resolve the issue.

You have to put the element in a control-group class and add to your form the form-horizontal class, you also don't need an extra div for your input.
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="interview">Label 1</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="interview" name="FDFINTERVIEW" class="" /></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Add .form-horizontal to the form.
Wrap labels and controls in .control-group
Add .control-label to the label
Wrap any associated controls in .controls for proper alignment
Twitter Bootstrap doc - Horizontal Form
<div class="control-group">
<label for="name" class="control-label"><p class="text-info">Name <i class="icon-star"></i></p></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Enter your name" class="span3">
</div>
this is not working for me, I dont wanna use 'form-horizontal' class or a table for this. I have tried with row and row-fluid class but its not working.
You can wrap your code with <div class="form-horizontal">. You don't need to have a form to use form-horizontal.
Example:
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group row-fluid form-inline">
<label for="name" class="control-label"><p class="text-info">Name <i class="icon-star"></i></p></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Enter your name" class="span3">
</div>
</div>
</div>
You want horizontal form layout. This can be achieved by wrappping your code between a div having class as form-horizontal.
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group">
<label for="name" class="control-label"><p class="text-info">Name <i class="icon-star"></i></p></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Enter your name" class="span3">
</div>
</div>
