Individual form controls automatically receive some global styling. All textual
<input>, <textarea>, and <select>
elements with .form-control are set to width: 100%; by default.
Wrap labels and controls in .form-group for optimum spacing.
Do not mix form groups directly with input groups. Instead, nest the input group inside of the form group.
Add .form-inline to your form (which doesn't have to be a
<form>) for left-aligned and inline-block controls.
This only applies to forms within viewports that are at least 768px wide.
Inputs and selects have `width: 100%;` applied by default in Bootstrap. Within inline forms, we reset that to `width: auto;` so multiple controls can reside on the same line. Depending on your layout, additional custom widths may be required.
Screen readers will have trouble with your forms if you don't include a label for every input. For these inline forms, you can hide the labels using the `.sr-only` class. There are further alternative methods of providing a label for assistive technologies, such as the `aria-label`, `aria- labelledby` or `title` attribute. If none of these is present, screen readers may resort to using the `placeholder` attribute, if present, but note that use of `placeholder` as a replacement for other labelling methods is not advised.
BookingSync UI Kit does not recommend using horizontal forms.
Most common form control, text-based input fields. Includes support for all HTML5 types:
text, password, datetime, datetime-local,
date, month, time, week,
number, email, url, search,
tel, and color.
Inputs will only be fully styled if their `type` is properly declared.
To add integrated text or buttons before and/or after any text-based
<input>, check out the input group
component.
Form control which supports multiple lines of text.
Change rows attribute as necessary.
Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list, while radios are for selecting one option from many.
To provide a "not-allowed" cursor on hover of the parent <label>,
you'll need to add the .disabled class to the parent .radio,
.radio-inline, .checkbox, or .checkbox-inline.
Use the .checkbox-inline or .radio-inline classes on a series of
checkboxes or radios for controls that appear on the same line.
Should you have no text within the <label>, the input is positioned as
you'd expect. Remember to still provide some form of label for assistive technologies
(for instance, using aria-label).
Currently only works on non-inline checkboxes and radios.
Note that many native select menus—namely in Safari and Chrome—have rounded corners that
cannot be modified via border-radius properties.
Using Chosen is recommended for a better design and improved experience. More details in the Chosen component.
For <select> controls with the multiple attribute,
multiple options are shown by default.

When you need to place plain text next to a form label within a form, use the
.form-control-static class on a <p>.
We remove the default outline styles on some form controls and adjust labels
and border-bottom placement and color for :focus.
:focus stateThe above example forces the focused class normally set by javascript on the
.form-group parent to demonstrate the :focus state on a
.form-group .form-control.
The above example forces the filled class normally set by javascript on the
.form-froup parent to demonstrate the filled state on a
.form-group .form-control.
Add the disabled boolean attribute on an input to prevent user interactions.
Disabled inputs appear lighter and add a not-allowed cursor.
Add the disabled attribute to a <fieldset> to disable all
the controls within the <fieldset> at once.
<a>By default, browsers will treat all native form controls (<input>,
<select> and `<button>` elements) inside a
<fieldset disabled> as disabled, preventing both keyboard and mouse
interactions on them. However, if your form also includes
<a ... class="btn btn-*"> elements, these will only be given a style
of pointer-events: none. As noted in the section about
disabled state for buttons (and specifically in the
sub-section for anchor elements), this CSS property is not yet standardized and isn't
fully supported in Opera 18 and below, or in Internet Explorer 11, and won't prevent
keyboard users from being able to focus or activate these links. So to be safe, use
custom JavaScript to disable such links.
While Bootstrap will apply these styles in all browsers, Internet Explorer 11 and below
don't fully support the disabled attribute on a <fieldset>.
Use custom JavaScript to disable the fieldset in these browsers.
Add the readonly boolean attribute on an input to prevent modification of
the input's value. Read-only inputs appear lighter (just like disabled inputs), but retain
the standard cursor.
Block level help text for form controls.
Help text should be explicitly associated with the form control it relates to using the
aria-describedby attribute. This will ensure that assistive technologies – such
as screen readers – will announce this help text when the user focuses or enters the
control.
Bootstrap includes validation styles for error, warning, and success states on form controls.
To use, add .has-warning, .has-error, or .has-success
to the parent element. Any .control-label, .form-control, and
.help-block within that element will receive the validation styles.
You can also add optional feedback icons with the addition of .has-feedback
and the right icon.
Feedback icons only work with textual <input class="form-control">
elements.
Manual positioning of feedback icons is required for inputs without a label and for
input groups with an add-on on the right. You are strongly
encouraged to provide labels for all inputs for accessibility reasons. If you wish to prevent
labels from being displayed, hide them with the .sr-only class. If you must do
without labels, adjust the top value of the feedback icon. For input groups,
adjust the right value to an appropriate pixel value depending on the width of
your addon.
BookingSync UI Kit does not recommend using horizontal forms.
Add icon to input field adding class .has-icon to the .form-group.
Create bigger or smaller icons using classes like .icon--lg. Use these classes
in conjunction with .input-lg for the input field for example to match its height.
Set heights using classes like .input-lg. Create taller or shorter form
controls that match button sizes.
BookingSync UI Kit does not recommend using horizontal forms.
Set widths using grid column classes like .col-lg-*. Wrap inputs in grid columns,
or any custom parent element, to easily enforce desired widths.
