Examples and usage guidelines for form control styles, layout options, and custom components for creating a wide variety of forms.
Custom checkboxes can also utilize the :indeterminate
> pseudo class when manually set via JavaScript (there is no available HTML attribute for specifying it).
The best part is that you can make checkboxes look like buttons, using any of the pre-defined colors and styles:
The same thing applies to radio buttons too. Make’em look like buttons, using any of the pre-defined colors and styles:
You may also choose from small and large custom selects to match our similarly sized text inputs.
Create custom <input type="range">
controls with .custom-range.
The track (the background) and thumb (the value) are both styled to appear the same across browsers. As only IE and Firefox support “filling” their track from the left or right of the thumb as a means to visually indicate progress, we do not currently support it.
Range inputs have implicit values for min
and max
—0
and 100
, respectively. You may specify new values for those using the min
and max
attributes.
By default, range inputs “snap” to integer values. To change this, you can specify a step
value. In the example below, we double the number of steps by using step="0.5"
.
For custom Bootstrap form validation messages, you’ll need to add the novalidate
boolean attribute to your <form>
. This disables the browser default feedback tooltips, but still provides access to the form validation APIs in JavaScript. Try to submit the form below; our JavaScript will intercept the submit button and relay feedback to you. When attempting to submit, you’ll see the :invalid
and :valid
styles applied to your form controls.
Custom feedback styles apply custom colors, borders, focus styles, and background icons to better communicate feedback. Background icons for <select>
s are only available with .custom-select
, and not .form-control
.
Not interested in custom validation feedback messages or writing JavaScript to change form behaviors? All good, you can use the browser defaults. Try submitting the form below. Depending on your browser and OS, you’ll see a slightly different style of feedback.
We recommend using client side validation, but in case you require server side, you can indicate invalid and valid form fields with .is-invalid
and .is-valid
. Note that .invalid-feedback
is also supported with these classes.
