Form Layouts

Give your forms some structure—from inline to horizontal to custom grid implementations—with our form layout options.

Form Grid

More complex forms can be built using Bootstrap grid classes. Use these for form layouts that require multiple columns, varied widths, and additional alignment options. Requires the $enable-grid-classes Sass variable to be enabled (on by default).

Inline

Use the .row-cols-* classes to create responsive horizontal layouts.

Remember me

<form class="row row-cols-lg-auto g-3 align-items-center">
    <div class="col-12">
        <label class="visually-hidden" for="inlineFormInputGroupUsername">Username</label>
        <div class="input-group">
            <div class="input-group-text">@</div>
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="inlineFormInputGroupUsername" placeholder="Username">
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="col-12">
        <label class="visually-hidden" for="inlineFormSelectPref">Preference</label>
        <select class="form-select" id="inlineFormSelectPref">
            <option selected>Choose...</option>
            <option value="1">One</option>
            <option value="2">Two</option>
            <option value="3">Three</option>
        </select>
    </div>

    <div class="col-12">
        <div class="form-check">
            <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" id="inlineFormCheck">
            <label class="form-check-label" for="inlineFormCheck">
                Remember me
            </label>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="col-12">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
    </div>
</form>

Horizontal

Create horizontal forms with the grid by adding the .row class to form groups and using the .col-*-* classes to specify the width of your labels and controls. Be sure to add .col-form-label to your <label>s as well so they’re vertically centered with their associated form controls.

At times, you maybe need to use margin or padding utilities to create that perfect alignment you need. For example, we’ve removed the padding-top on our stacked radio inputs label to better align the text baseline.

Column Sizing

As shown in the previous examples, Bootstrap grid system allows you to place any number of .cols within a .row. They’ll split the available width equally between them. You may also pick a subset of your columns to take up more or less space, while the remaining .cols equally split the rest, with specific column classes like .col-sm-7.

<div class="row g-3">
    <div class="col-sm-7">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="City" aria-label="City">
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="State" aria-label="State">
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Zip" aria-label="Zip">
    </div>
</div>
