I was my form labels to appear to the left of my textboxes (labels all right aligned and textboxes all left aligned).
Right now they are all appearing on top of my textboxes:
<form action="" method="post">
<div class="form-horizontal">
<label for="test">Test</label>
<input id="test" type="text" class="form-control" disabled/>
</div>
<div class="form-horizontal">
<label for="more">More</label>
<input id="more" type="text" class="form-control" disabled/>
</div>
</form>
Using bootstrap's grid. Here is a link to bootply.
<form class="form-horizontal" action="" method="post">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="test">Test</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input id="test" type="text" class="form-control" disabled/>
</div>
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="more">More</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input id="more" type="text" class="form-control" disabled/>
</div>
</form>
Without your CSS I won't be able to tell for sure, but try:
label {
display: inline;
}
It would be helpful if you provided the CSS as well as the HTML.
Answer / example is right in the bootstrap examples:

You can match your form structure to it.

I'm using bootstrap to display a form-inline. However, I cannot figure how to remove the spaces between the form inputs, it always leaves a ~4p blank. I tried to adjust it using margin, in vain. Any idea why ?
Here's the form
<div class="container">
<form id="msform" class="form-inline" role="form" method="post">
<!-- progressbar -->
<div class="form-group">
<input type="hidden" id="form_departure" name="form[departure]" required="required" placeholder="Départ" class="form-control"><input type="text" id="autocompleter_form_departure" name="autocompleter_form[departure]" required="required" placeholder="Départ" class="form-control ui-autocomplete-input" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="hidden" id="form_arrival" name="form[arrival]" required="required" placeholder="Arrivée" class="form-control"><input type="text" id="autocompleter_form_arrival" name="autocompleter_form[arrival]" required="required" placeholder="Arrivée" class="form-control ui-autocomplete-input" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<select id="form_passengers" name="form[passengers]" required="required" class="fly_confirm form-control"><option value="1" selected="selected">1 passager</option><option value="2">2 passagers</option><option value="3">3 passagers</option><option value="4">4 passagers</option><option value="5">5 passagers</option></select>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">CHERCHER</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Inline elements are sensitive to the white space in your code. The easiest solution is to simply remove it.
Ex: </div><div class="form-group">
bootply example
An alternative is to float the inputs:
.form-group {
float:left;
}
bootply example
I am trying to display a year range input on a form that has a 2 textboxes. One for the min and one for the max and are separated by a dash.
I want this all on the same line using bootstrap, but I cannot seem to get it to work correctly.
Here's my code:
<form id="Form1" class="form-horizontal" role="form" runat="server">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="tbxContactPhone" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Year</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" CssClass="form-control" runat="server" MaxLength="4" />
</div>
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label">-</label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" CssClass="form-control" runat="server" MaxLength="4" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here's what it looks like now:
How about using an input group to style it on the same line?
Here's the final HTML to use:
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Start"/>
<span class="input-group-addon">-</span>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="End"/>
</div>
Which will look like this:
Here's a Stack Snippet Demo:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Start"/>
<span class="input-group-addon">-</span>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="End"/>
</div>
I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to translate it into an asp:textbox element
#KyleMit's answer on Bootstrap 4 has changed a little
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control">
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<span class="input-group-text">-</span>
</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control">
</div>
The problem is that .form-control class renders like a DIV element which according to the normal-flow-of-the-page renders on a new line.
One way of fixing issues like this is to use display:inline property. So, create a custom CSS class with display:inline and attach it to your component with a .form-control class. You have to have a width for your component as well.
There are other ways of handling this issue (like arranging your form-control components inside any of the .col classes), but the easiest way is to just make your .form-control an inline element (the way a span would render)
For Bootstrap 4
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Start"/>
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<span class="input-group-text" id="">-</span>
</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="End"/>
</div>
Bootstrap 3.3.7:
Use form-inline.
It only works on screen resolutions greater than 768px though. To test the snippet below make sure to click the "Expand snippet" link to get a wider viewing area.
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<form class="form-inline">
<input type="text" class="form-control"/>-<input type="text" class="form-control"/>
</form>
Reference: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#forms-inline
did you check boostrap website? search for "forms"
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="First name">
</div>
<div class="col">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Last name">
</div>
#KyleMit answer is one way to solve this, however we may chose to avoid the undivided input fields acheived by input-group class. A better way to do this is by using form-group and row classes on a parent div and use input elements with grid-system classes provided by bootstrap.
<div class="form-group row">
<input class="form-control col-md-6" type="text">
<input class="form-control col-md-6" type="text">
</div>
Just put two inputs inside a div with class form-group and set display flex on the div style
<form method="post">
<div class="form-group" style="display: flex;"><input type="text" class="form-control" name="nome" placeholder="Nome e sobrenome" style="margin-right: 4px;" /><input type="text" class="form-control" style="margin-left: 4px;" name="cpf" placeholder="CPF" /></div>
<div class="form-group" style="display: flex;"><input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" placeholder="Email" style="margin-right: 4px;" /><input type="tel" class="form-control" style="margin-left: 4px;" name="telephone" placeholder="Telefone" /></div>
<div class="form-group"><input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" placeholder="Password" /></div>
<div class="form-group"><input type="password" class="form-control" name="password-repeat" placeholder="Password (repeat)" /></div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="form-check"><label class="form-check-label"><input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" />I agree to the license terms.</label></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group"><button class="btn btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Sign Up</button></div><a class="already" href="#">You already have an account? Login here.</a></form>
I have made two forms for registering. When i add the code below to the page the second field automatically drops down below the first one. I would like it to go besides it.
<h1>Register</h1>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Forename" autofocus style="width:150px">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Surname" autofocus style="width:150px">
here is an example of what it looks like in normal html (currently) and that is what i want it to look like. But in bootstrap it keeps taking new line
Reference the inline form styling on Bootstrap's site.
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="exampleInputEmail2">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail2" placeholder="Enter email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="exampleInputPassword2">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword2" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</form>
Alternatively, you can also use columns to put form elements next to one another:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-2">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-lg-2">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-lg-3">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-lg-4">
</div>
</div>

check bootstrap inline Form
it will be good to go as you said.
Use CSS in a separate file to style your html. I'd personally wrap them in a <div class="row"> using Bootstrap and use one of those for each 'row' you want to create.
I am using Twitter Bootstrap. In the forms I can do horizontal layouts and vertical layouts but the class is on the <form> tag. So, how to I do a little of both where I want to save space and put a couple of input boxes horizontally and the rest vertically?
I have a form that looks like this:
Address [__________________]
City [___________]
State [__]
Zip [_____]
Country [____]
But I want it to look something like this:
Address [__________________]
City [___________]
State [__] Zip [_____] Country [____]
Please help with the CSS.
Here is my code:
<form class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="Address">Mailing Address</label>
<div class="controls">
<input data-val="true" data-val-required="Required" id="mailing" name="Address" type="text" value="1313 Mockingbird Lane" class="valid">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="City">City</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="span3 valid" id="city" name="City" type="text" value="Kaysville">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="State">State</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="span2" id="state" name="State" type="text" value="UT">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="PostalCode">Zip</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="span2" id="postalCode" name="PostalCode" type="text" value="12345">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="Country">Country</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="span3" id="country" name="Country" type="text" value="US">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
This worked for me
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputPLZ">PLZ*</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="input-mini" id="inputPLZ">
Ort*
<input type="text" class="input-medium" id="inputOrt">
</div>
</div>
It is rendered like this
Wrap state, zip and country in a div, then float the child elements left and they should align. Though I have no experience with Bootstrap so don't know if that will affect anything
Helps to understand how bootstrap is set up.
The .control-label class is the left side indicator of a form. This takes the left 140px of the form and floats left. The .controls class is the right side of container of a form, and simply applies a margin left of 160px to itself without floating.
Knowing this, you can treat Bootstrap like normal HTML. You can simply include all the inputs in the same control, like so:
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
State: <input class="span2" id="state" name="State" type="text" value="UT">
Zip: <input class="span2" id="postalCode" name="PostalCode" type="text" value="12345">
Country: <input class="span3" id="country" name="Country" type="text" value="US">
</div>
</div>
If you want the alignment to match up, use a little bit of trickery by making the first label in your horizontal set the .control-label like so:
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label">State:</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="span2" id="state" name="State" type="text" value="UT">
