Bootstrap supports the following form controls

Supported Form Controls

Bootstrap supports the following form controls:

  • input
  • textarea
  • checkbox
  • radio
  • select
  • Bootstrap Input

    Bootstrap supports all the HTML5 input types: text, password, datetime, datetime-local, date, month, time, week, number, email, url, search, tel, and color.

    Note: Inputs will NOT be fully styled if their type is not properly declared!

    The following example contains two input elements; one of type text and one of type password:

    Example

    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="usr">Name:</label>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" id="usr">
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="pwd">Password:</label>
      <input type="password" class="form-control" id="pwd">
    </div>

    Bootstrap Textarea

    The following example contains a textarea:

    Example

    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
      <textarea class="form-control" rows="5" id="comment"></textarea>
    </div>

    Bootstrap Checkboxes

    Checkboxes are used if you want the user to select any number of options from a list of preset options.

    The following example contains three checkboxes. The last option is disabled:

    Example

    <div class="checkbox">
      <label><input type="checkbox" value="">Option 1</label>
    </div>
    <div class="checkbox">
      <label><input type="checkbox" value="">Option 2</label>
    </div>
    <div class="checkbox disabled">
      <label><input type="checkbox" value="" disabled>Option 3</label>
    </div>

    Use the .checkbox-inline class if you want the checkboxes to appear on the same line:

    Example

    <label class="checkbox-inline"><input type="checkbox" value="">Option 1</label>
    <label class="checkbox-inline"><input type="checkbox" value="">Option 2</label>
    <label class="checkbox-inline"><input type="checkbox" value="">Option 3</label>

    Bootstrap Radio Buttons

    Radio buttons are used if you want to limit the user to just one selection from a list of preset options.

    The following example contains three radio buttons. The first option is checked by default and the last option is disabled:

    Example

    <div class="radio">
      <label><input type="radio" name="optradio" checked>Option 1</label>
    </div>
    <div class="radio">
      <label><input type="radio" name="optradio">Option 2</label>
    </div>
    <div class="radio disabled">
      <label><input type="radio" name="optradio" disabled>Option 3</label>
    </div>

    Use the .radio-inline class if you want the radio buttons to appear on the same line:

    Example

    <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="optradio" checked>Option 1</label>
    <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="optradio">Option 2</label>
    <label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="optradio">Option 3</label>

    Bootstrap Select List


    Select lists are used if you want to allow the user to pick from multiple options.

    The following example contains a dropdown list (select list):

    Example

    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="sel1">Select list:</label>
      <select class="form-control" id="sel1">
        <option>1</option>
        <option>2</option>
        <option>3</option>
        <option>4</option>
      </select>
    </div>
