<h4>Don't mix form groups with input groups</h4>

<p>Do not mix form groups directly with <a href="/components/#input-groups">input groups</a>. Instead, nest the input group inside of the form group.</p>

</div>

<h2 id="forms-inline">Inline form</h2>

<p>Add <code>.form-inline</code> to your form (which doesn't have to be a <code>&lt;form&gt;</code>) for left-aligned and inline-block controls. <strong>This only applies to forms within viewports that are at least 768px wide.</strong></p>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-danger" id="callout-inline-form-width">

<h4>May require custom widths</h4>

<p>Inputs and selects have <code>width: 100%;</code> applied by default in Bootstrap. Within inline forms, we reset that to <code>width: auto;</code> so multiple controls can reside on the same line. Depending on your layout, additional custom widths may be required.</p>

</div>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-warning" id="callout-inline-form-labels">

<h4>Always add labels</h4>

<p>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 <code>.sr-only</code> class. There are further alternative methods of providing a label for assistive technologies, such as the <code>aria-label</code>, <code>aria-labelledby</code> or <code>title</code> attribute. If none of these is present, screen readers may resort to using the <code>placeholder</code> attribute, if present, but note that use of <code>placeholder</code> as a replacement for other labelling methods is not advised.</p>

<p>Disabled checkboxes and radios are supported, but to provide a "not-allowed" cursor on hover of the parent <code>&lt;label&gt;</code>, you'll need to add the <code>.disabled</code> class to the parent <code>.radio</code>, <code>.radio-inline</code>, <code>.checkbox</code>, or <code>.checkbox-inline</code>.</p>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-warning" id="callout-fieldset-disabled-pointer-events">

<h4>Caveat about link functionality of <code>&lt;a&gt;</code></h4>

<p>By default, browsers will treat all native form controls (<code>&lt;input&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;button&gt;</code> elements) inside a <code>&lt;fieldset disabled&gt;</code> as disabled, preventing both keyboard and mouse interactions on them. However, if your form also includes <code>&lt;a ... class="btn btn-*"&gt;</code> elements, these will only be given a style of <code>pointer-events: none</code>. As noted in the section about <a href="#buttons-disabled">disabled state for buttons</a> (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.</p>

</div>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-danger" id="callout-fieldset-disabled-ie">

<h4>Cross-browser compatibility</h4>

<p>While Bootstrap will apply these styles in all browsers, Internet Explorer 11 and below don't fully support the <code>disabled</code> attribute on a <code>&lt;fieldset&gt;</code>. Use custom JavaScript to disable the fieldset in these browsers.</p>

<h4>Conveying validation state to assistive technologies and colorblind users</h4>

<p>Using these validation styles to denote the state of a form control only provides a visual, color-based indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies - such as screen readers - or to colorblind users.</p>

<p>Ensure that an alternative indication of state is also provided. For instance, you can include a hint about state in the form control's <code>&lt;label&gt;</code> text itself (as is the case in the following code example), include a <a href="../components/#glyphicons">Glyphicon</a> (with appropriate alternative text using the <code>.sr-only</code> class - see the <a href="../components/#glyphicons-examples">Glyphicon examples</a>), or by providing an additional <a href="#forms-help-text">help text</a> block. Specifically for assistive technologies, invalid form controls can also be assigned an <code>aria-invalid="true"</code> attribute.</p>

<h3>With optional icons</h3>

<p>You can also add optional feedback icons with the addition of <code>.has-feedback</code> and the right icon.</p>

<p><strong class="text-danger">Feedback icons only work with textual <code>&lt;input class="form-control"&gt;</code> elements.</strong></p>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-warning" id="callout-has-feedback-icon-positioning">

<h4>Icons, labels, and input groups</h4>

<p>Manual positioning of feedback icons is required for inputs without a label and for <a href="../components#input-groups">input groups</a> 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 <code>.sr-only</code> class. If you must do without labels, adjust the <code>top</code> value of the feedback icon. For input groups, adjust the <code>right</code> value to an appropriate pixel value depending on the width of your addon.</p>

</div>

<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-warning" id="callout-has-feedback-icon-accessibility">

<h4>Conveying the icon's meaning to assistive technologies</h4>

<p>To ensure that assistive technologies – such as screen readers – correctly convey the meaning of an icon, additional hidden text should be included with the <code>.sr-only</code> class and explicitly associated with the form control it relates to using <code>aria-describedby</code>. Alternatively, ensure that the meaning (for instance, the fact that there is a warning for a particular text entry field) is conveyed in some other form, such as changing the text of the actual <code>&lt;label&gt;</code> associated with the form control.</p>

<p>Although the following examples already mention the validation state of their respective form controls in the <code>&lt;label&gt;</code> text itself, the above technique (using <code>.sr-only</code> text and <code>aria-describedby</code>) has been included for illustrative purposes.</p>
