Bootstrap UI TextField, Dropdown and Button – Code Examples

May 24, 2014 by Nidhi Rai · Leave a comment

The article presents quick code samples on Bootstrap form and its elements such as textfield, dropdown, button etc that one could copy and paste and get started quickly. For those unaware of what is Bootstrap, following is a very brief write-up:

Bootstrap is a popular UI framework which helps one to create great UI for both Web and Mobile projects. The information and code samples could be accessed on http://getbootstrap.com/.

All I could say is that the day I came across Bootstrap, I managed to create great UIs for all of my Java projects in no time. Something that I always looked upon others to help me with. Something which seemed NOT do-able for me as I was a Java/PHP developer. As an example, I create a quick project, AgileSQM, using Bootstrap UI framework. I would have spent not more than 3-4 hours to create all the UI pages.

Code Example: Form
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="post" action="<context-path-for-formhandler>">
</form>

 

Code Example: TextField
<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-md-2 control-label">First Name</label>
    <div class="col-md-4">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="first_name" required>
    </div>
</div>

 

Code Example: Dropdown
<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-md-2 control-label">Country</label>
    <div class="col-md-4">
        <select class="form-control" name="Country">
            <option value="1">India</option>
            <option value="1">UK</option>
            <option value="1">USA</option>
        </select>
    </div>
</div>

 

Code Example: Button
<div class="form-group">
     <div class="col-md-4" style="">
         <button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary">Submit</button>
     </div>
</div>
