Example
Wrap a pair of <input class="form-control">
and <label>
elements in .form-floating
to enable floating labels with Bootstrap's textual form fields. A placeholder
is required on each <input>
as our method of CSS-only floating labels uses the :placeholder-shown
pseudo-element. Also note that the <input>
must come first so we can utilize a sibling selector (e.g., ~
).
This approach works in the new Microsoft Edge built on Chromium and gracefully degrades on older versions.
{{< example >}}
When there's a value
already defined, <label>
s will automatically adjust to their floated position.
{{< example >}}
{{< /example >}}Form validation styles also work as expected.
{{< example >}}
{{< /example >}}Textareas
By default, <textarea>
s with .form-control
will be the same height as <input>
s.
{{< example >}}
To set a custom height on your <textarea>
, do not use the rows
attribute. Instead, set an explicit height
(either inline or via custom CSS).
{{< example >}}
Selects
Other than .form-control
, floating labels only available on .form-select
s. They work in the same way, but unlike <input>
s, they'll always show the <label>
in its floated state.

Layout
When working with the Bootstrap grid system, be sure to place form elements within column classes.
