I'd like to accomplish a horizontal form with rows of multiple left aligned form controls per row. The final layout should look like this
First of all I want the icon show up NEXT to the name of the user on the right side of the user's name just like in the image showed above.
I use GWT along with bootstrap3.3.2. I read a lot about mix of horizontal forms
with inline forms or using horizontal forms along with rows of form controls. The last approach I like most.
I prepared a bootply which shows my first problem (I'll create a second bootply and stackoverflow post for additional problems). http://www.bootply.com/hheckner/GiPzaqWHlT
As you can see there, the icon does not align well (vertically) to the name of the user. Furthermore I'd like to show up the icon NEXT to the user's name, so if the user name is longer the image should move to the right and vice versa. Using the grid does not help here (I think at least). The icon should show up immediately next to the user name?
How can I accomplish this?
To get icon showing next to some text you just need to have span right after text, but still inside your <p> element.
I made somewhat similar form to the one you provided in screenshot using only Bootstrap Grid. There are probably multiple solutions, that could be better in terms of lines of code, but when you get used to grid system this should be quite fast method.
I have to warn you I used <h4></h4> for all text, and no special element for some text, so you should fix it accordingly. Also Bootstrap's form-inline class works only when viewport is bigger then 768px - you might not see working example on JSFiddle as you would want, but when you see it on screen bigger then 768px, it should be just fine.

I'm creating a prestashop 1.7.2.1 module. Prestashop comes with bootstrap 4 support.
I'm trying to use the from validation example from https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/forms/#validation with the following code:
<div class="container">
<form>
<div class="form-group row has-success">
<label for="inputHorizontalSuccess" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control form-control-success" id="inputHorizontalSuccess" placeholder="name#example.com">
<div class="form-control-feedback">Success! You've done it.</div>
<small class="form-text text-muted">Example help text that remains unchanged.</small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row has-warning">
<label for="inputHorizontalWarning" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control form-control-warning" id="inputHorizontalWarning" placeholder="name#example.com">
<div class="form-control-feedback">Shucks, check the formatting of that and try again.</div>
<small class="form-text text-muted">Example help text that remains unchanged.</small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row has-danger">
<label for="inputHorizontalDnger" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control form-control-danger" id="inputHorizontalDnger" placeholder="name#example.com">
<div class="form-control-feedback">Sorry, that username's taken. Try another?</div>
<small class="form-text text-muted">Example help text that remains unchanged.</small>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
using Pingendo 4 (bootstrap 4 desktop app editor) it works properly.
but when I add this code to my prestashop module all the inputs contains the validation icons repeated all through the input's width.
any ideas ?
PrestaShop's bootstrap CSS for these icons is being overriden by PrestaShop's own CSS.
When disabling the background property, it works fine.
You can modify the CSS and change background property to background-color.
When I try to nest two col-md-2 columns inside a col-md-4 column, the nested columns are too small, more like md-1 or less. I have used a row inside the outer tag as suggested by the documentation. I tried changing all the "md" to "lg" and "sm", but that didn't make any difference. How can I make my second row of nested inputs line up with my first row of non-nested inputs?
Screenshot:
Jsfiddle version (resize the result pane so that the controls are beside each other)
<div class="container" id="content">
<form>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">Label
<input value="nonnested input">
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">Label
<input value="nonnested input">
</div>
</div>
<br/>
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
Label across two inputs, Label across two inputs
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">
<input value="nested input 1" >
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<input value="nested input 2" >
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Ah I get it now! The nested columns need to total to 12 to fill the width of the outer tag. So my second set of inputs should read like this:
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
Label across two inputs, Label across two inputs
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<input value="nested input 1" >
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input value="nested input 2" >
</div>
</div>
</div>
I need to have 3 form input fields in a row with their respective labels on the top. When the row wraps I want the labels to go with the corresponding input and stay on top. I can get the labels to appear to the left of the input fields just fine. Just not on top of the input. How can this be achieved
Working with colums should do the trick. Try something like this
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-3">
<label>Label 1</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-xs-2">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3">
<label>Label 2</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-xs-3">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3">
<label>Label 3</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-xs-4">
</div>
</div>
The trick is to use col-md-4 because Bootstrap is built on a 12 col grid system. That way on small and extra small devices the coloumns automatically collapse down to a single row. Here's my pen.
http://www.bootply.com/Eb85k7lOAx
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<label>One</label>
<input class="form-control" placeholder=".col-md-4" type="text">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<label>Two</label>
<input class="form-control" placeholder=".col-md-4" type="text">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<label>Three</label>
<input class="form-control" placeholder=".col-md-4" type="text">
</div>
</div>
</div>
I am trying to create a search form, something like below..
http://tinypic.com/r/2py0scy/8
I am new to front end development and confused if an in-line form or a input group should be used?
The issue with inline forms is I am unable to size the input box (width) so any pointer there would also be really helpful.
Thanks!
Code Update
from home.HTML
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<input class="form-control input-lg" type="text" placeholder="Discover">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg">Go</button>
</form>
from the layouts - application.html.erb
<div class="container">
<%= yield %>
</div>
To play with the width in Bootstrap, see the grid system and the use the columns:
For instance, if you want a form on the right and the width at the 50% of the container, you can do:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-6">
This is div on the left
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-6">
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<input class="form-control input-lg" type="text" placeholder="Discover">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg">Go</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The previous code, is designed to change the behavior on small devices.
You can use both depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Bootstrap is well-documented, did you read their documentation regarding forms ? http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms
By default input items are 100% width in bootstrap (e.g. they fill the containing element they are in). For instance:
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Text input">
would result in a 100% width input field and
<style>
.smallwidth {max-width: 200px;}
</style>
<div class='smallwidth'><input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Text input"></div>
would result in a 200px width input field, because it is restricted by the outer div I put around it.
I am using Boostrap 3. Is it normal that an input control inside a DIV with "row" class is not aligned left with the parent ?
It is shifted on the left. I think it might be a bug ?
Is there a way to make it aligned properly without tweaking CSS (meaning through Bootsrap-only CSS classes).
Please find the demonstration of the problem here :
http://jsfiddle.net/7vRQr/2/
<div class="col-xs-11">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-offset-1 col-xs-10">
<h2 class="main-info-title">Following input should be aligned</h2>
<div class="row">
<input type="text" class="col-xs-12" placeholder="But it is not aligned on the left"/>
<label class="col-xs-12">But I am aligned!</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<span class="col-xs-12">So texts are aligned, I would have expected the input control to be aligned instead of the text inside the input</span>
Try this :
<style>
.form-horizontal .control-label {
text-align: left;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-10">
<h2>Following input should be aligned</h2>
<div class="row">
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="textbox">
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Might be the only one facing this issue...
Well, so for now I wrap every form control (input, textarea, select) inside a div with col-xs-12, and then it works OK.
So in my question, replacing this :
<input type="text" class="col-xs-12" placeholder="But it is not aligned on the left"/>
By this (encapsulating inside a div with col-xs-12) :
<div class="col-xs-12">
<input type="text" class="col-xs-12" placeholder="But it is not aligned on the left"/>
</div>
Fixes indentation issue. Please find the fully updated example here :

Anyone with information about whether it is a bug or not (seems like one) or any other method to workaround is highly welcome. Because this solution does add a lot of extra HTML markups.
