arrange fields of the form using bootstrap 3? - html

Question

I am using Bootstrap3 in my project. I have enclosed my form in a jumbotron.
Here is how my form looks (not good looking as of now):
I tried to make it better. but it is getting worse. I want all the fields to be in one-line and
the submit button centered below them. I have no idea how to do it. I am very new using Bootstrap3.
Here is my html code:
<form action="" id="id-exampleForm" class="form-inline" method="post" >
<input type='hidden' name='csrfmiddlewaretoken' value='1bfhNFINdeJVpSNBBQd0X7zLWLVwm1bB' />
<div id="div_id_price_order" class="form-group">
<label for="id_price_order_0" class="control-label col-lg-2 requiredField">
price order
<span class="asteriskField">*</span>
</label>
<div class="controls col-lg-12">
<label class="radio">
<input type="radio" checked="checked" name="price_order" id="id_price_order_1" value="lowest_price" >lowest</label>
<label class="radio">
<input type="radio" name="price_order" id="id_price_order_2" value="highest_price" >highest</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div id="div_id_newest_entry" class="checkbox">
<div class="controls col-lg-offset-2 col-lg-12">
<label for="id_newest_entry" class=" requiredField">
<input class="checkboxinput checkbox" id="id_newest_entry" name="newest_entry" type="checkbox" />
latest date
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div id="div_id_latest_year" class="checkbox">
<div class="controls col-lg-offset-2 col-lg-12">
<label for="id_latest_year" class=" requiredField">
<input class="checkboxinput checkbox" id="id_latest_year" name="latest_year" type="checkbox" />
latest year
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary button white" id="submit-id-submit" />
</form>
EDIT:
I want something like this: I have edited this on powerpoint. so it does not look very good.

EDIT AFTER COMMENT
Please see the fiddle for an inline form in a Jumbotron with the button in-line (not below centered), and fieldset.
Note : that I changed the vertical alignment of the checkbox and radio + add some right margin, and an extra small button. The form will go as block if the screen is extra-small as a bootstrap behavior.

<div class="jumbotron">
<form class="form-inline">
<fieldset class="radiogroup">
<legend>Sorting Criteria</legend>
<label for="id_price_order_0">
price order
<span class="asteriskField">*</span>
</label>
<label class="radio" for="id_price_order_1">
lowest
<input type="radio" checked="checked" id="id_price_order_1" />
</label>
<label class="radio" for="id_price_order_2">
highest
<input type="radio" id="id_price_order_2" />
</label>
<label for="id_newest_entry" class="requiredField checkbox">
latest date
<input id="id_newest_entry" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<label for="id_latest_year" class="requiredField checkbox">
latest year
<input id="id_latest_year" type="checkbox" />
</label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-xs" />
</fieldset>
</form>

Answer 2

Add the class form-control to ALL of your input elements for a start:
<input type="radio" class='form-control' checked="checked" name="price_order" id="id_price_order_1" value="lowest_price" >
Also, what I do to make my life easier is to pre-wrap the elements in the correct sized divs instead of doing it in the labels and inputs like so:
<div class='row'>
<form ... >
<div class='col-lg-2>
<label ... ></label>
<input ... >
</div>
<div class='col-lg-2'>
...
</div>
...
</form>
</div>
Its a tiny bit slower to load but it makes the code so much more readable I think it is worth it. Also I feel that there is a lot of extra in your code that shouldn't be there and is confusing check out the code here: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms. They show you exactly how to format an in-line form.
Could being inside a .jumbotron be causing the issues? Why don't you try a panel or a well This should work for you:
<div class='panel panel-default'>
<div class="panel-heading">In-line Form</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<form action='anotherScript.php' method='post' class='form-inline'>
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-md-4'>
<strong>Price:</strong>
<div class="radio-inline">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rad1" value="low" checked>
Lowest
</label>
</div>
<div class="radio-inline">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rad1" value="high">
Highest
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class='col-md-4'>
<div class="checkbox-inline">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name='date' value='date'>
Latest Date
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class='col-md-4'>
<div class="checkbox-inline">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name='year' value='year'>
Latest Year
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-md-12'>
<center><button type='submit' class='btn btn-primary'>Submit</button></center></form>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Make sure you stretch the results panel to full width to see the form in-line.
