I'm trying to use form-floating to get the floating label look, but the margins get messed up when I put the form-floating class inside a row.
For comparison, this is without the row (label looks good):
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<div class="form-floating col-6 mb-3 mt-3 ml-auto">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name">
<label for="name">Name</label>
</div>
</div>And this is with the row - notice how the "Name" label now touches the left side of the input:
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-floating col-6 mb-3 mt-3 ml-auto">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name">
<label for="name">Name</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>In this minimal example, row might not be needed, but I'm trying to place the form on the left column while putting other content on the right. How can I get this to work?
The problem lies in the grid styles. See:
.row {
/* --bs-gutter-x: 1.5rem; */
/* bs gutter overwrites the form gutter! */
--bs-gutter-y: 0;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
margin-top: calc(var(--bs-gutter-y) * -1);
margin-right: calc(var(--bs-gutter-x) * -.5);
margin-left: calc(var(--bs-gutter-x) * -.5);
}
Solution that worked on my browser:
Overwrite the gutters on your containing div element back to their original value.
<div class="form-floating col-6 mb-3 mt-3 ml-auto gx-1">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name">
<label for="name">Name</label>
</div>
