I want to align 2 input groups, one with span 8 & other with 4 next to each other. I used form inline but it doesn't take the intended width.
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<!-- <div class="input-group"> -->
<input type="text" class="form-control col-sm-8" placeholder="Username">
<!-- </div> -->
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<!-- <div class="input-group"> -->
<input type="text" class="form-control col-sm-4" placeholder="Ref No.">
</div>
</div>
try the following css
.form-group{
float:left;
}
After playing around i found this solution:
HTML
<div class="row form-input">
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="ref no.">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row form-input">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Monthly Rent">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Deposit">
</div>
</div>
CSS
.form-input, .form-input input{
margin-top: 10px;
}

A bit of a beginner's question, I am trying to make my form to look like the following image where the text on the left are vertically aligned and the input field has the same widths.
twitter form
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label class="d-inline">Full Name: </label>
<input type="text" placeholder="First Name" formControlName="firstName">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h6>Some text</h6>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label class="d-inline">Email: </label>
<input type="email" placeholder="Email" formControlName="email">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h6>Some text</h6>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Which gives me the following result. I also want the input to stretch to the remaining parent container so that it stops before the "some text".
my attempt
I have tried to set the width css property of the input field to 100% hoping that it will do it. However, that just stretch it all the way which forces it to go to the next line.
I am using bootstrap 4 with Angular2.
Just give your p tag a min-width. I gave the input a max-width so it's better when your screen size is smaller. Hope this answers your question
p.d-inline {
min-width: 75px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: right;
margin-left: 30px;
}
h6 {
margin-left: 30px;
}
input {
max-width: 100px;
}
You said you are using Bootstrap.
Why not Use Bootstrap Form then?
You can find how-to HERE
Open the following snippet in Full Page to see how it works
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail3" class="col-lg-1 control-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-lg-2">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword3" class="col-lg-1 control-label">Password</label>
<div class="col-lg-2">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword3" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-2">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> Remember me
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-3">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Sign in</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
As form-horizontal is not working as expected in bootstrap 4 so, you can try like this.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 form-group row">
<label class="d-inline control-label col-md-3 text-right">Full Name: </label>
<div class="col-md-9">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="First Name" formControlName="firstName">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h6>Some text</h6>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 form-group row">
<label class="d-inline control-label col-md-3 text-right">Email: </label>
<div class="col-md-9">
<input class="form-control" type="email" placeholder="Email" formControlName="email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h6>Some text</h6>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I have a row with three inputs, two of the inputs have labels to their left. What is happening is the label is being displayed on top of the input box rather than to the side, like so:
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
<div class="row">
<div data-bind="foreach: items" class="padding-left-lg">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="text" data-bind="value: Description,valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'" class="form-control"/>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<label class="control-label">
Quantity: <input type="text" data-bind="value: Quantity,valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'" class="form-control"/>
</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-1">
<input type="text" data-bind="value: Units,valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'" class="form-control"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I would try something like this:
<form class="row form-horizontal">
<div class="col-sm-5">
<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>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<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>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<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>
</div>
</form>
Here is the fiddle I made https://jsfiddle.net/g3e8yjyg/.
What is different from the default Bootstrap example? You treat your form as a row or a set of rows, and each formgroup becomes a cell, where you will only vary the value of the size. This will allow you to put many fields in a single row.
<form class="row">
<!--Columns -->
<div class="col-lg-*">
<!--Your form group in here -->
<div class="form-group">
<!--The elements of you formgroup treated as col divs-->
<label for="inputPassword3" class="col-lg-*">Your label</label>
<div class="col-lg-*">
<input name="my-input">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!--Columns -->
<div class="col-lg-*">
...
</div>
</form>
Add the form-inline class to your form, add the form-group class to the containing div, and move the input tag out of your label tag:
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group col-sm-4">
<label class="control-label">Quantity:</label>
<input type="text" data-bind="value: Quantity,valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'" class="form-control"/>
</div>
</div>
I'm building a form using Bootstrap in which I need to place many inputs on one line like if it where a Spreadsheet. So using the regular Bootstrap grid system I did this (snippet):
<div class="col-sm-1">
<div class="form-group">
<textarea placeholder="Description" class="form-control" rows="1" required></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-1">
<input placeholder="Remaining contract term" class="form-control" type="text">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-1">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-addon">€</div>
<input placeholder="Contract rental" class="form-control" type="text">
</div>
</div>
</div>
etc.
which results in:
Obviously that looks horrible. For this specific form I need to place the inputs closer to eachother so that they (almost) touch eachother.
Does anybody know how I can style this better? All tips are welcome!
You could override the padding on the col-sm-* with a class like this
.inputItem {
padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
}
This might be useful.
You can adjust your column padding by media queries in the event you want the form to stack on smaller devices so the padding returns to normal.
#media (min-width: 768px) {
form .form-gutter >[class*='col-'] {
padding-right: 1px;
padding-left: 1px;
}
}
form .form-control,
form .input-group-addon {
border-radius: 0;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<form class="form">
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>Form </h1>
<div class="row form-gutter">
<div class="col-sm-2">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<input placeholder="Contract rental" class="form-control" type="text">
<div class="input-group-addon">€</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="radio-inline">
<input type="radio" name="inlineRadioOptions" id="inlineRadio1" value="option1">Some</label>
<label class="radio-inline">

</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">

What is the correct way to style form with bootstrap in the following scenario:
I need to use fieldset (that will be styled later)
I need to divide form into two columns
Each column has label+control, some will have label+control1+control2 etc.
I am new to bootstrap. I have come to the following solution (jsfiddle).
The question is: is this the correct way to do this? Does it not violate the bootstrap semantics?
I do not understand when to use form-group, am I using it correctly?
Should I not include some class="row" here for correct semantics?
HTML:
<div class="container">
... <some content here> ....
<form class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<legend>Portfolio</legend>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-xs-4 control-label">Label1</label>
<div class="col-xs-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="control1" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-xs-4 control-label">label2</label>
<div class="col-xs-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="control2" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-xs-4 control-label">label3</label>
<div class="col-xs-8 form-inline">
<div class="form-group col-xs-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="control1" />
</div>
<div class="form-group col-xs-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="control2" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-xs-4 control-label">Label1</label>
<div class="col-xs-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="control1" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-xs-4 control-label">label2</label>
<div class="col-xs-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="control2" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
I have seen all Bootstrap form examples, but I do not get how to separate form into two columns. I have also read the whole documentation, but I feel that this is not the right way how to use col and other classes.
Column separation happens inside container elements.
Each time you have an element you want to do grid inside it, give it class="container" and in it u can use the normal row and column classes.
Also check Bootstrap's out of the box form styles.
Below are the bare bones, add on to it what u need (like text align etc)
<form class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<label for="username" class="control-label">label</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<input type="text" name="username" class="form-control" placeholder="Email address" autofocus>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<label for="username" class="control-label">label</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<input type="text" name="username" class="form-control" placeholder="Email address" autofocus>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I face this problem with bootstrap 4 and I found that whenever we want to divide inside our form into many columns we should use container and row class. because the bootstrap grid take its style from its parent (.container and .row)
see this example :
<main>
<div class="container-fluid mt-3">
<div class="row">
<form method="post">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="input-group">
<div class="col-md-3">
<label class="form-controllabel">Full Name</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="col-md-3">
<label class="form-controllabel">fatherName</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="col-md-3">
<label class="form-controllabel">LastName</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="input-group">
<div class="col-md-3">
<label class="form-controllabel">salary</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="col-md-3">
<label class="form-controllabel">tax</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit">save</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</main>
I'am sure it will work!
I want to build a form in Bootstrap 3 like this:
My site (not the above link) just updates from Bootstrap 2.3.2 and the format is not correct anymore.
I cannot find any doc about this type of form on getbootstrap.com.
Could anyone tell me how to do this? Only 'Username' would be OK.
Thanks.
PS There is a similar question but it's using Bootstrap 2.3.2.
I have created a demo for you.
Here is how your nested structure should be in Bootstrap 3:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="birthday" class="col-xs-2 control-label">Birthday</label>
<div class="col-xs-10">
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="year"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="month"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="day"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Notice how the whole form-inline is nested within the col-xs-10 div containing the control of the horizontal form. In other terms, the whole form-inline is the "control" of the birthday label in the main horizontal form.
Note that you will encounter a left and right margin problem by nesting the inline form within the horizontal form. To fix this, add this to your css:
.form-inline .form-group{
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
}
Another option is to put all of the fields that you want on a single line within a single form-group.
See demo here
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-xs-2 control-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-xs-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control col-sm-10" name="name" placeholder="name"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="birthday" class="col-xs-3 col-sm-2 control-label">Birthday</label>
<div class="col-xs-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="year"/>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="month"/>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="day"/>
</div>
</div>
</form>
This Bootply example seems like a much better option. Only thing is that the labels are a little too high so I added padding-top:5px to center them with my inputs.
<div class="container">
<h2>Bootstrap Mixed Form <p class="lead">with horizontal and inline fields</p></h2>
<form role="form" class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-1" for="inputEmail1">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-5"><input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail1" placeholder="Email"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-1" for="inputPassword1">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-5"><input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword1" placeholder="Password"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-12" for="TextArea">Textarea</label>
<div class="col-sm-6"><textarea class="form-control" id="TextArea"></textarea></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-3"><label>First name</label><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="First"></div>
<div class="col-sm-3"><label>Last name</label><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Last"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-12">Phone number</label>
<div class="col-sm-1"><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="000"><div class="help">area</div></div>
<div class="col-sm-1"><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="000"><div class="help">local</div></div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="1111"><div class="help">number</div></div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="123"><div class="help">ext</div></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-1">Options</label>
<div class="col-sm-2"><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Option 1"></div>
<div class="col-sm-3"><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Option 2"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info pull-right">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<hr>
</div>
To make it work in Chrome (and bootply) i had to change code in this way:
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-xs-2 control-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-xs-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control col-sm-10" name="name" placeholder="name" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="birthday" class="col-xs-2 control-label">Birthday</label>
<div class="col-xs-10">
<div class="form-inline">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="year" />
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="month" />
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="day" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
A much simpler solution, without all the inside form-group elements
<div class="form-group">
<label for="birthday" class="col-xs-2 control-label">Birthday</label>
<div class="col-xs-10">
<div class="form-inline">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="year" style="width:70px;"/>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="month" style="width:80px;"/>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="day" style="width:100px;"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
... and it will look like this,
Cheers!
I had problems aligning the label to the input(s) elements so I transferred the label element inside the form-inline and form-group too...and it works..
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-xs-10">
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="birthday" class="col-xs-2 control-label">Birthday:</label>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="year"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="month"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="day"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
