I know this kind of question has been asked before, but the solutions listed there did not work for me.
I have two divs, one with text and the other one has multiple divs, in a nested structure. I want them placed beside each other. I tried display: inline-block as most solutions pointed out, but they did not work for me.
Here's my code:
<div class="close-date-div">Close Date:
<div class="form-group" id="close_date">
<div class="input-group date">
<span class="input-group-addon" ><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i></span>
<input class="form-control" id="close_date_input" value="" type="text">
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is the output I am getting for that code snippet, how can make it so that Close Date and the input box are on the same line?
Make your text some king of html element. In this case a made it a paragraph element with the <p> tag
Hope this helps!
.inline {
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="close-date-div">
<p class="inline">Close Date:</p>
<div class="form-group inline" id="close_date">
<div class="input-group date">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i></span>
<input class="form-control" id="close_date_input" value="" type="text">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Bootstrap 3 is very opinionated when it comes to forms. If you use the provided classes you have a limited set of possible presentations.
You could set your form to use form-inline or maybe form-horizontal
Here I had to use xs because the snippet window is too small to trigger any other break point. You will also have to tweek column widths and vertical alignment.

I would comment but my rep isn't high enough yet.
I dealt with this recently, and I had to make sure that the positions were all set in order for the display: inline-block to work. I believe the following example should get you where you need to be.
.close-date-div{
position: relative;
}
.form-group{
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.input-group date{
position:sticky;
display: inline-block;
}
Change
<div class="close-date-div">
To
<div class="close-date-div form-inline">
You may also want to add form-group. Note, this solution is specific to boostrap-only because you've shared code which is utilizing well-known bootstrap classes.
I am using Bootstraps grid system to make my input box smaller. However, it seems to conflict with form-control.
HTML:
<form class="col-md-8">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="input_box" class="form-control col-md-3"/>
</div>
</form>
In Chrome's developer tools, the 25% (for .col-md-3 is automatically crossed out). If I take out .form-control then it works but looks ugly.
How do I use them both? Note that I do not want to change the width in .formcontrol because I have other forms that also use this and will get messed up
How about this
<form>
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="form-group col-md-3">
<input type="text" name="input_box" class="form-control"/>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I'm trying to make a form using bootstrap, and I want it to be perfectly aligned, like this one
I have this structure:
.w100x100 {
width: 100% !important;
}
<form class="form-inline" method="get" action="index.php">
<div class="form-group col-md-10">
<div class="input-group w100x100">
<select class="form-control" name="myform">
<option>Option</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<div class="form-group col-md-5">
<div class="input-group w100x100">
<input class="form-control" placeholder="input text"></input>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-5">
<div class="input-group w100x100">
<input class="form-control" placeholder="input text"></input>
</div>
</div>
and is working fine, except for that I don't know how to put a hyphen between both inputs. I don't know what else to try.
Any clue?
After many trial and errors, I found a solution. It's so simple that I don't know how I didn't see it before.
I put this div between the columns:
<div class="guion">-</div>
And make it float to the left.
.guion {
float: left;
}
Try adding a div between the two forms which contains a hyphen and give it say 10% then the other two divs you already have 45% each.
I'd like some form fields to be side by side when there's width available on the client, and stacked neatly when there isn't. It's almost working, but not quite "stacked neatly". Here's the markup ...
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-3">
<input type="text" placeholder="State" class="form-control" ng-model="family.state">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input type="text" placeholder="Zip" class="form-control" ng-model="family.zip">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="family.listAddress">List address</input>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here's the wide result, which is as desired:
But here's the narrow result which is not quite right (because of the missing vertical space):
What does your CSS look like? You can add a class to all of these divs and apply a simple margin: 5px; and that could solve your problem.
I'm currently switching my website over to Bootstrap 3.0. I'm having an issue with form input and text formatting. What worked in Bootstrap 2 does not work in Bootstrap 3.
How can I get text on the same line before and after a form input? I have narrowed it down to a problem with the 'form-control" class in the Bootstrap 3 version of the example.
How would I go about getting all the text and input on one line? I would like the bootstrap 3 example to look like the bootstrap 2 example in the jsfiddle.
JS fiddle example
<div class="container ">
<form>
<h3> Format used to look like this in Bootstrap 2 </h3>
<div class="row ">
<label for="return1"><b>Return:</b></label>
<input id="return1" name='return1' class=" input input-sm" style="width:150px"
type="text" value='8/28/2013'>
<span id='return1' style='color:blue'> +/- 14 Days</span>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<h3> BootStrap 3 Version </h3>
<div class="row">
<label for="return2"><b>Return:</b></label>
<input id="return2" name='return2' class="form-control input input-sm" style="width:150px"
type="text" value='8/28/2013'>
<span id='return2' style='color:blue'> +/- 14 Days</span>
</div>
</form>
Update:
I change the code to this which works but having trouble with alignment now. Any ideas?
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-3">
<label for="class_type"><h2><span class=" label label-primary">Class Type</span></h2></label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
<select name="class_type" id="class_type" class=" form-control input-lg" style="width:200px" autocomplete="off">
<option >Economy</option>
<option >Premium Economy</option>
<option >Club World</option>
<option >First Class</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
Straight from documentation http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-horizontal.
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 (which doesn't have to be a <form>). Doing so changes .form-groups to behave as grid rows, so no need for .row.
Sample:
<form class="form-horizontal">
<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>
I would put each element that you want inline inside a separate col-md-* div within your row. Or force your elements to display inline. The form-control class displays block because that's the way bootstrap thinks it should be done.
What you need is the .form-inline class. You need to be careful though, with the new .form.inline class you have to specify the width for each control.
Take a look at this
None of these worked for me, had to use .form-control-static class.
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-controls-static
You can do it like this:
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputType" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Label</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="input" placeholder="Input text">
</div>
</div>
</form>
Fiddle
just give mother of div "class="col-lg-12""
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-3">
<label for="class_type"><h2><span class=" label label-primary">Class Type</span></h2></label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
<select name="class_type" id="class_type" class=" form-control input-lg" style="width:200px" autocomplete="off">
<option >Economy</option>
<option >Premium Economy</option>
<option >Club World</option>
<option >First Class</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
it will be
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-3">
<label for="class_type"><h2><span class=" label label-primary">Class Type</span></h2></label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
<select name="class_type" id="class_type" class=" form-control input-lg" style="width:200px" autocomplete="off">
<option >Economy</option>
<option >Premium Economy</option>
<option >Club World</option>
<option >First Class</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The way I solved it was simply to add an override for all my textboxes on the main css of my site, as so:
.form-control {
display:initial !important;
}
In Bootstrap 4 for Horizontal element you can use .row with .col-*-* classes to specify the width of your labels and controls. see this link.
And if you want to display a series of labels, form controls, and buttons on a single horizontal row you can use .form-inline for more info this link
all please check the updated code as we have to use
form-control-static not only form-control

Or you can do this:
<table>
<tr>
<td><b>Return:</b></td>
<td><input id="return1" name='return1'
class=" input input-sm" style="width:150px"
type="text" value='8/28/2013'></td>
</tr>
</table>
I tried every one of the suggestions above and none of them worked. I don't want to pick a fixed number of columns in the 12 column grid. I want the prompt, and the input right after it, and I want the columns to stretch as needed.
Yes, I know, that is against what bootstrap is all about. And you should NEVER use a table. Because DIV is so much better than tables. But the problem is that tables, rows, and cells actually WORK.
YES - I REALLY DO know that there are CSS zealots, and the knee-jerk reaction is never never never use TABLE, TR, and TD. Yes, I do know that DIV class="table" with DIV class="row" and DIV class="cell" is much much better. Except when it doesn't work, and there are many cases. I don't believe that people should blindly ignore those situations. There are times that the TABLE/TR/TD will work just fine, and there is not reason to use a more complicated and more fragile approach just because it is considered more elegant. A developer should understand what the benefits of the various approaches are, and the tradeoffs, and there is no absolute rule that DIVs are better.
"Case in point - based on this discussion I converted a few existing tds and trs to divs. 45 minutes messing about with it trying to get everything to line up next to each other and I gave up. TDs back in 10 seconds later - works - straight away - on all browsers, nothing more to do. Please try to make me understand - what possible justification do you have for wanting me to do it any other way!" See [https://stackoverflow.com/a/4278073/1758051]
And this: "
Layout should be easy. The fact that there are articles written on how to achieve a dynamic three column layout with header and footer in CSS shows that it is a poor layout system. Of course you can get it to work, but there are literally hundreds of articles online about how to do it. There are pretty much no such articles for a similar layout with tables because it's patently obvious. No matter what you say against tables and in favor of CSS, this one fact undoes it all: a basic three column layout in CSS is often called "The Holy Grail"." [https://stackoverflow.com/a/4964107/1758051]
I have yet to see a way to force DIVs to always line up in a column in all situations. I keep getting shown trivial examples that don't really run into the problems. "Responsive" is about providing a way that they will not always line up in a column. However, if you really want a column, you can waste hours trying to get DIV to work. Sometimes, you need to use appropriate technology no matter what the zealots say.
