Form controls
Give textual form controls like s and
Example
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="exampleFormControlInput1" class="form-label">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput1" placeholder="name@example.com">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="exampleFormControlTextarea1" class="form-label">Example textarea</label>
<textarea class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlTextarea1" rows="3"></textarea>
</div>
Sizing
Set heights using classes like .form-control-lg
and .form-control-sm
.
<input class="form-control form-control-lg" type="text" placeholder=".form-control-lg" aria-label=".form-control-lg example">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Default input" aria-label="default input example">
<input class="form-control form-control-sm" type="text" placeholder=".form-control-sm" aria-label=".form-control-sm example">
Disabled
Add the disabled
boolean attribute on an input to give it a grayed out appearance and remove pointer events.
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input" aria-label="Disabled input example" disabled>
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Disabled readonly input" aria-label="Disabled input example" disabled readonly>
Readonly
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.
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Readonly input here..." aria-label="readonly input example" readonly>
Readonly plain text
If you want to have <input readonly>
elements in your form styled as plain text, use the .form-control-plaintext
class to remove the default form field styling and preserve the correct margin and padding.
<div class="mb-3 row">
<label for="staticEmail" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" readonly class="form-control-plaintext" id="staticEmail" value="email@example.com">
</div>
</div>
<div class="mb-3 row">
<label for="inputPassword" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Password</label>

</div>

Datalists
Datalists allow you to create a group of <option>
s that can be accessed (and autocompleted) from within an <input>
. These are similar to <select>
elements, but come with more menu styling limitations and differences. While most browsers and operating systems include some support for <datalist>
elements, their styling is inconsistent at best.
Learn more about support for datalist elements.
<label for="exampleDataList" class="form-label">Datalist example</label>
<input class="form-control" list="datalistOptions" id="exampleDataList" placeholder="Type to search...">
<datalist id="datalistOptions">
<option value="San Francisco">
<option value="New York">
<option value="Seattle">
<option value="Los Angeles">
<option value="Chicago">
</datalist>
