Give textual form controls like <input>
s and <textarea>
s an upgrade with custom styles, sizing, focus states, and more.
<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>
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="deafult input example">
<input class="form-control form-control-sm" type="text" placeholder=".form-control-sm" aria-label=".form-control-sm example">
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>
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.

<label for="staticEmail" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>

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.
