Bootstrap heigth issue - html

I'm new to bootstrap and search a lot on this forum but couldn't find an answer to my question
I have the following code for 2 forms on my page
<div class="row justify-content-md-center">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<form method="POST">
<h3 align="center">Join a group</h3>
<div class="form-group">
<input
type="input"
class="form-control"
id="groupCode"
name="groupCode"
placeholder="Fill in the group code"
/>
</div>
<button
type="submit"
id="form-submit-join"
name="form-submit-join"
class="btn btn-primary"
>
Join
</button>
</form>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<form method="POST">
<h3 align="center">Create a new group long text</h3>
<div class="form-group">
<input
type="input"
class="form-control"
id="groupName"
name="groupName"
placeholder="Fill in the groupname"
/>
</div>
<button
type="submit"
id="form-submit-create-family"
name="form-submit-create-family"
class="btn btn-primary"
>
Create
</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This looks like this
2 columns that looks the same
when I make the window smaller so that the long text of the second column becomes 2 lines, the layout is wrong.
wrong layout
I would like it to be the same, so the input box of the first one should be on the same height as the second one

You can use flex for that!
I've added the flex classes to the form and an extra div as wrapper around everything but the headline to let 'justify-content-between' do its magic and push the headline and the div apart.
<form method="POST" class="h-100 d-flex flex-column justify-content-between">
<h3 align="center">Join a group</h3>
<div>
<div class="form-group mt-auto">
<input
type="input"
class="form-control"
id="groupCode"
name="groupCode"
placeholder="Fill in the group code"
/>
</div>
<button
type="submit"
id="form-submit-join"
name="form-submit-join"
class="btn btn-primary"
>
Join
</button>
</div>
</form>

Bootstrap Styling is not working as expected

In my current ASP.Net core I am trying to do the boot strap styling for search component on the page. I want the UI to look like
where the label/input box and the Search button to appear in the middle of the screen and the Create New To show in the same row but to appear right side of the screen
I have tried like below
<div class="center">
<form asp-action="Index" method="get">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="row mb-3">
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-2 form-check-inline mr-0">
<label class="col-auto" for="holiday"> Find by Holiday </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="SearchString" value="#ViewData["CurrentFilter"]" />
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-2 form-check-inline mr-0">
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="btn btn-info" />
<a class="btn btn-link" asp-action="Index">Back to Full List</a>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-2 form-check-inline mr-0" style="text-align:right">
<a class="btn btn-info" asp-action="Create">Create New</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
And the UI shows up like below
Can anyone help say what is that I am missing why all the things appear so close, I tried adding the style="text-align:right" so the Create new will appear towards the right
***** EDIT *****
You could try this way to implement accordingly as per your
expectations like below:
Asp.net Submit Form With CSS
<div class="center">
<form asp-action="Index" method="get">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-2">
<label class="col-auto" for="holiday" style="margin-top:10px;"> Find by Holiday </label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3" style="margin-left: -50px;" >
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="SearchString" value="#ViewData["CurrentFilter"]" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-1">
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="btn btn-info" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<a class="btn btn-link" asp-action="Index">Back to Full List</a>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<a class="btn btn-info" asp-action="Create">Create New</a>
</div>
<div class="col-md-1"></div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Output
Note: You could set your CSS in different class file. I have shown you how could you achieve that using inline CSS snippet. You
could use separate file as well. But this is the right and convenient
way to do what you are trying to.
My first guess is caused by your class 'col-md-2'. You can change all of 'col-md-2' to 'col-md-4' to test.
try adding ml-auto on the 'Create New' button

Search box and Submit Button in line w/ Bootstrap3

I have a project that is based on the Gentellela template from ColorLib. The Search Bar at the top is inline and styled, however is not a form. When I add the code to submit the search to my view, the submit ("Go") button moves to the next line.
What is the best way to accomplish this while keeping the style?
Original Code from Template (sans form tags).
<div style="padding-top:7px;" class="col-md-5 col-sm-5 col-xs-12 form-group pull-right top_search">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for...">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button">Go!</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
My Latest Attempt
<div style="padding-top:7px;" class="col-md-5 col-sm-5 col-xs-12 form-group pull-right top_search">
<form action="" method="post" class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for...">
</div>
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Go!</button>
</span>
</form>
</div>
As Always, I appreciate all help, suggestions and comments.
A good practice would be to nest the input field and the button inside form-group with a div that has a input-group class. This is how input groups are made on Bootstrap.
It applies a display:inline-table style to hold the components inline.
<div style="padding-top:7px;" class="col-md-5 col-sm-5 col-xs-12 form-group pull-right top_search">
<form action="" method="post" class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for...">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Go!</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>

How can I make an input field and a button fill the entire row in a Bootstrap form?

I'm trying to make the Post button stick to the right and the text field for the tags fill the entire left part of the row in the following Bootstrap 3 form:
Here's the markup for the entire form:
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control" id="entry" placeholder="Write something in Markdown..." rows="3"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input class="form-control input-sm" id="tags" placeholder="tag1, tag2, tag3...">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" type="submit">Post</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I admittedly don't understand the Bootstrap grid system (or CSS in general) well enough to make this work - can you help me?
You can do this:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for...">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Post</button>
</span>
</div>
You can find more examples here: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#input-groups-buttons
You can use the .btn-block class in your Post button to make it span the entire width of the column is on. In your case, .col-sm-3.
<div class="col-sm-3 text-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm btn-block" type="submit">Post</button>
</div>
Here you can see it. Note that I replaced the .col-sm-* classes with .col-xs-* ones, so you can see it directly.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control" id="entry" placeholder="Write something in Markdown..." rows="3"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-9">
<input class="form-control input-sm" id="tags" placeholder="tag1, tag2, tag3...">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3 text-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm btn-block" type="submit">Post</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Fellow man, the bootstrap system uses a 12 grid system, try this:
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="tag1, tag2, tag3...">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Post</button>
</span>
</div>
https://getbootstrap.com/examples/grid/
Adding the form-control class to your btn element will make it fill its container.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm form-control>Link Text</a>
Text fields fill their container by default.
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control" id="entry" placeholder="Write something in Markdown..." rows="3"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input class="form-control input-sm" id="tags" placeholder="tag1, tag2, tag3...">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3 text-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" type="submit">Post</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

Bootstrap input group button keeps wrapping to 2nd line in a modal

For some reason.. the button in the input-group keeps wrapping to the 2nd line.. the only way I can force it to stay on the 1st line is to use CSS to make the width 80% for example. But then the spacing seems off between the 4 elements..
Is there a cleaner way of doing this? I dont even know why it's wrapping to the 2nd line.. maybe because I'm using this in a Modal?
EDIT: how it looks like http://imgur.com/sfWqATl
<!--3rd row-->
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-md-2">
stuff...
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="input-group">
<small>Logo 1 ID / File Path</small>
<br />
<div>
<input type="file" data-file="headline.contents.logo1path" id="logoPath1" class="hidden" />
<input type="text" class="form-control" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default glyphicon glyphicon-folder-open" type="button"></button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
stuff...
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
stuff...
</div>
</div>
I think you may have gotten a little mixed up in setting up the classes and elements to chain correctly based on the documentation. I re-wrote some of the code to model it from the bootstrap website, and it appears to work fine:
<div class="col-md-4">
<small>Logo 1 ID / File Path</small>
<input type="file" data-file="headline.contents.logo1path" id="logoPath1" class="hidden" />
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-folder-open"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
</div>

bootstrap - align multiple buttons with large textbox using full container space

I am trying to have a textbox in bootstrap, which has the same look and feel as the one you place inside a panel (large, rounded corners, full div length). On the right side of such a textbox I want to have a few buttons.
I tried a bunch of stuff - either it becomes correctly aligned, but the textbox loses all styles. Or the textbox looks correct, but the buttons wrap down to next line!
Some of what I have tried:
<div class="row">
<div class='col-md-8'>
<input type="text" class="input-block-level input-lg" placeholder="Stuff 2">
<button type="submit" class="btn">Save</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Delete</button>
</div>
</div>
and...
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Stuff 2">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button">Go!</button>
</span>
</div>
and...
<div class="form-horizontal">
<input type="text"/>
<button class="btn">Sign up</button>
</div>
Nothing works!I am thinking it shouldnt be so hard to place a bunch buttons next to a textbox that takes all available space and is nice and large :(
Any help is very much appreciated
Couldn't you just do it like this?
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-9">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Stuff2" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save</button> <button class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
</div>
</div>
As far as I know that to combine textbox and button, I use:
class="input-group"
and give class="form-control" to all textboxes
You mean like this follows:
<div class="row">
<div class='col-md-8'>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Stuff 2">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="submit" class="btn">Save</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Delete</button>
</span>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Stuff 2">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button">Go!</button>
</span>
</div>
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn">Sign up</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
