Extend form controls by adding text or buttons before, after, or on both sides of any text-based input. Use .input-group with an .input-group-addon to prepend or append elements to a single .form-control.
Avoid using <select> elements here as they cannot be fully styled in WebKit browsers.
When using tooltips or popovers on elements within an .input-group, you'll have to specify the option container: 'body' to avoid unwanted side effects (such as the element growing wider and/or losing its rounded corners when the tooltip or popover is triggered).
Do not mix form groups or grid column classes directly with input groups. Instead, nest the input group inside of the form group or grid-related element.

-Place one add-on or button on either side of an input. You may also place one on both sides of an input.
-We do not support multiple add-ons on a single side.
-We do not support multiple form-controls in a single input group.

Instead of .input-group-addon, you'll need to use .input-group-btn to wrap the buttons. This is required due to default browser styles that cannot be overridden.
