Twitter bootstrap: Nest input-prepend within pull-right and search form - html

Question

The following code example code should result in something like .
<form class="well form-search">
<div class="pull-right">
<div class="input-prepend">
<span class="add-on">
<i class="icon-search"></i>
</span>
<input type="text" class="input-large search-query" />
</div>
<button class="btn" type="submit">Search</button>
</div>
</form>
This works perfectly well in Firefox, but in both Chrome and Internet Explorer 7 browsers, it looks like the following:
Am I doing something "illegal" with bootstrap? I did not make any adaptions yet so it's completely out-of-the-box.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

This was a reported issue: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/1362
The fix outlined by tonybolzan in the issue works best because you don't have explicitly set a width:
.input-prepend, .input-append {
white-space: nowrap;
-webkit-padding-end: 27px;
}

Answer 2

The problem is with the whitespace found in your markup, try to place the span tag on the same line as the input, like so:
<form class="well form-search">
<div class="pull-right">
<div class="control-group">
<div class="input-prepend">
<span class="add-on"><i class="icon-search"></i></span><input type="text" class="input-large search-query" />
</div>
<button class="btn" type="submit">Search</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

Answer 3

This is old, but it helped me determine the answer I was looking for:
The problem is probably that bootstrap is setting the width of the input to 210px, which is causing the whole icon/input/button grouping to be wider than your well.
I've updated the fiddle Andres posted above with a sample of the problem by forcing the well forms to a smaller width than their default and a fix by using an input class with a smaller width.
