Get the lowdown on the key pieces of Bootstrap's infrastructure, including our approach to better, faster, stronger web development.

- -

Requires HTML5 doctype

Bootstrap makes use of certain HTML elements and CSS properties that require the use of the HTML5 doctype. Include it at the beginning of all your projects.

- -

<!DOCTYPE html>
-<html lang="en">
-  ...
-</html>

Mobile first

With Bootstrap 2, we added optional mobile friendly styles for key aspects of the framework. With Bootstrap 3, we've rewritten the project to be mobile friendly from the start. Instead of adding on optional mobile styles, they're baked right into the core. In fact, Bootstrap is mobile first. Mobile first styles can be found throughout the entire library instead of in separate files.

To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming, add the viewport meta tag to your <head>.

- -

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

- - -

Typography and links

Bootstrap sets basic global display, typography, and link styles. Specifically, we:

Remove margin on the body
Set background-color: white; on the body
Use the @font-family-base, @font-size-base, and @line-height-base attributes as our typographic base
Set the global link color via @link-color and apply link underlines only on :hover

These styles can be found within scaffolding.less.

- -

Normalize reset

For improved cross-browser rendering, we use Normalize, a project by Nicolas Gallagher and Jonathan Neal.

- - - -

Headings

All HTML headings, <h1> through <h6> are available.

- -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Bootstrap heading	Semibold 38px
Bootstrap heading	Semibold 32px
Bootstrap heading	Semibold 24px
Bootstrap heading	Semibold 18px
Bootstrap heading	Semibold 16px
Bootstrap heading	Semibold 12px

- - - -

Body copy

Bootstrap's global default font-size is 14px, with a line-height of 20px. This is applied to the <body> and all paragraphs. In addition, <p> (paragraphs) receive a bottom margin of half their line-height (10px by default).

Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula.

Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.

Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.

<p>...</p>

- - - -

Lead body copy

Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.

Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.

<p class="lead">...</p>

- - - -

Built with Less

The typographic scale is based on two LESS variables in variables.less: @font-size-base and @line-height-base. The first is the base font-size used throughout and the second is the base line-height. We use those variables and some simple math to create the margins, paddings, and line-heights of all our type and more. Customize them and Bootstrap adapts.

- - - -

Emphasis

Make use of HTML's default emphasis tags with lightweight styles.

- -

Small text

For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the small tag.

This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.

<small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small>

- - - -

Bold

For emphasizing a snippet of text with a heavier font-weight.

The following snippet of text is rendered as bold text.

<strong>rendered as bold text</strong>

- - -

Italics

For emphasizing a snippet of text with italics.

The following snippet of text is rendered as italicized text.

<em>rendered as italicized text</em>

- - -

Feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5. <b> is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.

- -

Alignment classes

Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.

Left aligned text.

Center aligned text.

Right aligned text.

<p class="text-left">Left aligned text.</p>
-<p class="text-center">Center aligned text.</p>
-<p class="text-right">Right aligned text.</p>

- - -

Emphasis classes

Convey meaning through color with a handful of emphasis utility classes.

Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris nibh.

Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.

Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.

Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.

<p class="muted">...</p>
-<p class="text-warning">...</p>
-<p class="text-error">...</p>
-<p class="text-success">...</p>

- - - - -

Abbreviations

Stylized implementation of HTML's <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations with a title attribute have a light dotted bottom border and a help cursor on hover, providing additional context on hover.

- -

Basic abbreviation

For expanded text on long hover of an abbreviation, include the title attribute with the <abbr> element.

An abbreviation of the word attribute is attr.

<abbr title="attribute">attr</abbr>

- - -

Initialism

Add .initialism to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.

HTML is the best thing since sliced bread.

<abbr title="HyperText Markup Language" class="initialism">HTML</abbr>

Description

A list of terms with their associated descriptions.

Description lists: A description list is perfect for defining terms.
Euismod: Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.; Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.
Malesuada porta: Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.

Auto-truncating

- Horizontal description lists will truncate terms that are too long to fit in the left column fix text-overflow. In narrower viewports, they will change to the default stacked layout. -

- - - - -

- -

Bootstrap includes a responsive, percent-based grid system that appropriately scales up to 12 columns as the device or viewport size increases—in other words, it's mobile first. It includes predefined classes for this, as well as powerful mixins for generating semantic layouts.

- -

Grid example

On mobile devices, the grid starts out stacked. Above 768px, it becomes horizontal as media queries kick in to apply floats and widths. To create a basic grid layout, wrap a series of .span* elements within a .row. As this is a 12-column grid, each .span* spans a number of those 12 columns, and should always add up to 12 for each row (or the number of columns in the parent), even at mobile resolutions.

<div class="row">
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-  <div class="span1">1</div>
-</div>
-<div class="row">
-  <div class="span4">4</div>
-  <div class="span4">4</div>
-  <div class="span4">4</div>
-</div>
-<div class="row">
-  <div class="span6">6</div>
-  <div class="span6">6</div>
-</div>

- - -

Offsetting columns

Move columns to the right using .offset* classes. Each class increases the left margin of a column by a whole column. For example, .offset4 moves .span4 over four columns.

4 offset 4

3 offset 3

6 offset 6

<div class="row">
-  <div class="span4">...</div>
-  <div class="span4 offset4">...</div>
-</div>

- - - -

Nesting columns

To nest your content with the default grid, add a new .row and set of .span* columns within an existing .span* column. Nested rows should include a set of columns that add up to 12.

- Level 1: 9 columns -

- Level 2: 6 columns -

<div class="row">
-  <div class="span9">
-    Level 1: 9 columns
-    <div class="row">
-      <div class="span6">
-        Level 2: 6 columns
-      </div>
-      <div class="span6">
-        Level 2: 6 columns
-      </div>
-    </div>
-  </div>
-</div>

- - -

Column ordering

Easily change the order of our built-in grid columns with .push* and .pull* modifier classes.

- -

<div class="row show-grid">
-  <div class="span9 push3">9</div>
-  <div class="span3 pull9">3</div>
-</div>

- - -

LESS mixins and variables

In addition to prebuilt grid classes for fast layouts, Bootstrap includes LESS variables and mixins for quickly generating your own simple, semantic layouts.

- -

Variables

Variables determine the number of columns, the gutter width, and the media query point at which to begin floating columns. We use these to generate the predefined grid classes documented above, as well as for the custom mixins listed below.

@grid-columns:              12;
-@grid-gutter-width:         30px;
-@grid-float-breakpoint:     768px;

- - -

Mixins

Mixins are used in conjunction with the grid variables to generate semantic CSS for individual grid columns.

// Creates a wrapper for a series of columns
-.make-row() {
-  // Negative margin the row out to align the content of columns
-  margin-left:  (@grid-gutter-width / -2);
-  margin-right: (@grid-gutter-width / -2);
-  // Then clear the floated columns
-  .clear_float();
-}
-
-// Generate the columns
-.make-column(@columns) {
-  @media (min-width: @grid-float-breakpoint) {
-    float: left;
-    // Calculate width based on number of columns available
-    width: percentage(@columns / @grid-columns);
-  }
-  // Prevent columns from collapsing when empty
-  min-height: 1px;
-  // Set inner padding as gutters instead of margin
-  padding-left:  (@grid-gutter-width / 2);
-  padding-right: (@grid-gutter-width / 2);
-}
-
-// Generate the column offsets
-.make-column-offset(@columns) {
-  @media (min-width: @grid-float-breakpoint) {
-    margin-left: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
-  }
-}

- - -

Example usage

You can modify the variables to your own custom values, or just use the mixins with their default values. Here's an example of using the default settings to create a two-column layout with a gap between.

.wrapper {
-  .make-row();
-}
-.content-main {
-  .make-column(8);
-}
-.content-secondary {
-  .make-column(3);
-  .make-column-offset(1);
-}

- -

<div class="wrapper">
-  <div class="content-main">...</div>
-  <div class="content-secondary">...</div>
-</div>

- - - - -

- - - - - - -

- - -

Inline

Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>.

- For example, <section> should be wrapped as inline. -

For example, <code>&lt;section&gt;</code> should be wrapped as inline.

- - -

Basic block

Use <pre> for multiple lines of code. Be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering.

<p>Sample text here...</p>

<pre>&lt;p&gt;Sample text here...&lt;/p&gt;</pre>

- - -

You may optionally add the .pre-scrollable class which will set a max-height of 350px and provide a y-axis scrollbar.

- - - - -

- - -

Default styles

For basic styling—light padding and only horizontal dividers—add the base class .table to any <table>. It may seem super redundant, but given the widespread use of tables for other plugins like calendars and date pickers, we've opted to isolate our custom table styles.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

#	First Name	Last Name	Username

Default styles

Individual form controls automatically receive some global styling. By default, inputs are set to width: 100%;.

- -

<form>
-  <fieldset>
-    <legend>Legend</legend>
-    <label>Label name</label>
-    <input type="text" placeholder="Type something…">
-    <p class="help-block">Example block-level help text here.</p>

-</form>

- - - -

Optional layouts

Included with Bootstrap are optional form layouts for common use cases.

- -

Inline form

Add .form-inline for left-aligned labels and inline-block controls for a compact layout.

- -

<form class="form-inline">
-  <input type="text" class="span3" placeholder="Email">
-  <input type="password" class="span3" placeholder="Password">

-    </label>
-  </div>
-  <button type="submit" class="btn">Sign in</button>
-</form>

- - -

Horizontal form

Right align labels and float them to the left to make them appear on the same line as controls. Requires the most markup changes from a default form:

Add .form-horizontal to the form
Wrap labels and controls in .control-group
Add .control-label to the label
Wrap any associated controls in .controls for proper alignment

- -

<form class="form-horizontal">
-  <div class="control-group">
-    <label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">Email</label>
-    <div class="controls">
-      <input type="text" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
-    </div>
-  </div>
-  <div class="control-group">
-    <label class="control-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label>
-    <div class="controls">
-      <input type="password" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">

-    </div>
-  </div>
-</form>

- - - -

Supported form controls

Examples of standard form controls supported in an example form layout.

- -

Inputs

Most common form control, text-based input fields. Includes support for all HTML5 types: text, password, datetime, datetime-local, date, month, time, week, number, email, url, search, tel, and color.

Requires the use of a specified type at all times.

- -

<input type="text" placeholder="Text input">

- - -

Textarea

Form control which supports multiple lines of text. Change rows attribute as necessary.

- -

<textarea rows="3"></textarea>

- - -

Checkboxes and radios

Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list while radios are for selecting one option from many.

Default (stacked)

- -

<div class="checkbox">
-  <label>
-    <input type="checkbox" value="">
-    Option one is this and that&mdash;be sure to include why it's great
-  </label>
-</div>
-
-<div class="radio">
-  <label>
-    <input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios1" value="option1" checked>
-    Option one is this and that&mdash;be sure to include why it's great
-  </label>
-</div>

- - -

Inline checkboxes

Use .checkbox-inline or .radio-inline class to a series of checkboxes or radios for controls appear on the same line.

- -

<label class="checkbox-inline">
-  <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox1" value="option1"> 1
-</label>
-<label class="checkbox-inline">
-  <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox2" value="option2"> 2
-</label>
-<label class="checkbox-inline">
-  <input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox3" value="option3"> 3
-</label>

- - -

Selects

Use the default option or specify a multiple="multiple" to show multiple options at once.

- -

<select>
-  <option>1</option>
-  <option>2</option>
-  <option>3</option>
-  <option>4</option>
-  <option>5</option>
-</select>
-
-<select multiple="multiple">
-  <option>1</option>
-  <option>2</option>
-  <option>3</option>
-  <option>4</option>
-  <option>5</option>
-</select>

- - - - -

Form control states

Provide feedback to users or visitors with basic feedback states on form controls and labels.

- -

Input focus

We remove the default outline styles on some form controls and apply a box-shadow in its place for :focus.

- -

<input id="focusedInput" type="text" value="This is focused...">

- - -

Invalid inputs

Style inputs via default browser functionality with :invalid. Specify a type, add the required attribute if the field is not optional, and (if applicable) specify a pattern.

This is not available in versions of Internet Explorer 7-9 due to lack of support for CSS pseudo selectors.

- -

<input class="span3" type="email" placeholder="test@example.com" required>

- - -

Disabled inputs

Add the disabled attribute on an input to prevent user input and trigger a slightly different look.

- -

<input id="disabledInput" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input here..." disabled>

- - -

Disabled fieldsets

Add the disabled attribute to a <fieldset> to disable all the controls within the <fieldset> at once. Link buttons (with the <a> element) will be aesthetically disabled, but you will need custom JavaScript to disable their behavior.

- -

<form class="form-inline">
-  <fieldset disabled>
-    <div>
-      <input type="text" class="span4" placeholder="Disabled input">

-    <div>
-      <select class="span4">
-        <option>Disabled select</option>
-      </select>
-    </div>
-    <div class="checkbox">
-      <label>
-        <input type="checkbox"> Can't check this
-      </label>
-    </div>
-    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
-  </fieldset>
-</form>

- - -

Validation states

Bootstrap includes validation styles for error, warning, info, and success messages. To use:

Add .has-warning, .has-error, or .has-success to the parent element
Add .input-with-feedback to the field(s) in question

Validation styles are applied on a per-input basis. With horizontal forms, the <label class="control-label"> will always be styled.

- - -

<div class="control-group has-warning">
-  <label class="control-label" for="inputWarning">Input with warning</label>
-  <div class="controls">
-    <input type="text" class="input-with-feedback" id="inputWarning">
-  </div>
-</div>
-<div class="control-group has-error">
-  <label class="control-label" for="inputError">Input with error</label>
-  <div class="controls">
-    <input type="text" class="input-with-feedback" id="inputError">
-  </div>
-</div>
-<div class="control-group has-success">
-  <label class="control-label" for="inputSuccess">Input with success</label>
-  <div class="controls">
-    <input type="text" class="input-with-feedback" id="inputSuccess">
-  </div>
-</div>

- - - - -

Extending form controls

Adding on top of existing browser controls, Bootstrap includes other useful form components.

- -

Input groups

Add text or buttons before, after, or on both sides of any text-based input. Use .input-group with a .add-on to prepend or append elements to an <input>.

Avoid using <select> elements here as they cannot be fully styled in WebKit browsers.

- -

<div class="input-group span9">
-  <span class="input-group-addon">@</span>
-  <input type="text" placeholder="Username">
-</div>
-
-<div class="input-group span6">
-  <input type="text">
-  <span class="input-group-addon">.00</span>
-</div>
-
-<div class="input-group span3">
-  <span class="input-group-addon">$</span>
-  <input type="text">
-  <span class="input-group-addon">.00</span>
-</div>

- - -

Optional sizes

Add the relative form sizing classes to the `.input-group-addon`.

- -

<div class="input-group span9">
-  <span class="input-group-addon input-large">@</span>
-  <input type="text" class="input-large" placeholder="Username">
-</div>
-
-<div class="input-group span9">
-  <span class="input-group-addon">@</span>
-  <input type="text" placeholder="Username">
-</div>
-
-<div class="input-group span9">
-  <span class="input-group-addon input-small">@</span>
-  <input type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="Username">
-</div>

- - -

Buttons instead of text

Buttons in input groups are a bit different and require one extra level of nesting. 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.

- -

<div class="input-group span7">
-  <span class="input-group-btn">
-    <button class="btn" type="button">Go!</button>
-  </span>
-  <input type="text">
-</div>
-
-<div class="input-group span7">
-  <input type="text">
-  <span class="input-group-btn">
-    <button class="btn" type="button">Go!</button>
-  </span>
-</div>

- - -

Button dropdowns

- -

<div class="input-group span7">
-  <div class="input-group-btn">
-    <button class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Action <span class="caret"></span></button>
-    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
-      <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
-      <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
-      <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
-      <li class="divider"></li>
-      <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
-    </ul>
-  </div><!-- /btn-group -->
-  <input type="text">
-</div><!-- /input-group -->
-
-<div class="input-group span7">
-  <input type="text">
-  <div class="input-group-btn">
-    <button class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Action <span class="caret"></span></button>
-    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
-      <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
-      <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
-      <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
-      <li class="divider"></li>
-      <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
-    </ul>
-  </div><!-- /btn-group -->
-</div><!-- /input-group -->

- - -

Segmented dropdown groups

- -

<div class="input-group span7">
-  <div class="input-group-btn">
-    <!-- Button and dropdown menu -->
-  </div>
-  <input type="text">
-</div>
-
-<div class="input-group span7">
-  <input type="text">
-  <div class="input-group-btn btn-group">
-    <!-- Button and dropdown menu -->
-  </div>
-</div>

- - -

Control sizing

Use relative sizing classes like .input-large or match your inputs to the grid column sizes using .span* classes.

- -

Relative sizing

Create larger or smaller form controls that match button sizes.

- -

<input class="input-large" type="text" placeholder=".input-large">
-<input type="text" placeholder="Default input">
-<input class="input-small" type="text" placeholder=".input-small">

- - -

Column sizing

Use .span1 to .span12 for setting widths on inputs that match Bootstrap's grid system.

- -

<input class="span1" type="text" placeholder=".span1">
-<input class="span2" type="text" placeholder=".span2">
-<input class="span3" type="text" placeholder=".span3">
-<select class="span1">
-  ...
-</select>
-<select class="span2">
-  ...
-</select>
-<select class="span3">
-  ...
-</select>

- - -

If you need multiple inputs on the same line, wrap them in the standard grid markup (with .row and .span* classes). Each input should have it's own column and will expand to fill the available width automatically.

- -

<div class="row">
-  <div class="span4">
-    <input type="text" placeholder=".span4">
-  </div>
-  <div class="span4">
-    <input type="text" placeholder=".span4">
-  </div>
-  <div class="span4">
-    <input type="text" placeholder=".span4">
-  </div>
-</div>

- - -

Uneditable inputs

Present data in a form that's not editable without using actual form markup.

- -

<span class="uneditable-input">Some value here</span>

- - -

Form actions

End a form with a group of actions (buttons). When placed within a .form-horizontal, the buttons will automatically indent to line up with the form controls.

- -

<div class="form-actions">
-  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
-  <button type="button" class="btn">Cancel</button>
-</div>

- - -

Help text

Inline and block level support for help text that appears around form controls.

Inline help

- -

<input type="text">
-<span class="help-inline">Inline help text</span>

- - -

Block help

- -

<input type="text">
-<span class="help-block">A longer block of help text that breaks onto a new line and may extend beyond one line.</span>

- - -

- - - - -

- - -

Default buttons

Button styles can be applied to anything with the .btn class applied. However, typically you'll want to apply these to only <a> and <button> elements for the best rendering.

- - - - - - - -

<!-- Standard gray button with gradient -->
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Default</button>
-
-<!-- Provides extra visual weight and identifies the primary action in a set of buttons -->
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
-
-<!-- Indicates a successful or positive action -->
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
-
-<!-- Contextual button for informational alert messages -->
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
-
-<!-- Indicates caution should be taken with this action -->
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Warning</button>
-
-<!-- Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action -->
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Danger</button>
-
-<!-- Deemphasize a button by making it look like a link while maintaining button behavior -->
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-link">Link</button>

- - -

Cross browser compatibility

IE9 doesn't crop background gradients on rounded corners, so we remove it. Related, IE9 jankifies disabled button elements, rendering text gray with a nasty text-shadow that we cannot fix.

- - -

Button sizes

Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add .btn-large, .btn-small, or .btn-mini for additional sizes.

- - -

<p>
-  <button type="button" class="btn btn-large btn-primary">Large button</button>
-  <button type="button" class="btn btn-large">Large button</button>
-</p>
-<p>
-  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Default button</button>
-  <button type="button" class="btn">Default button</button>
-</p>
-<p>
-  <button type="button" class="btn btn-small btn-primary">Small button</button>
-  <button type="button" class="btn btn-small">Small button</button>
-</p>
-<p>
-  <button type="button" class="btn btn-mini btn-primary">Mini button</button>
-  <button type="button" class="btn btn-mini">Mini button</button>
-</p>

- - -

Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent— by adding .btn-block.

- - -

<button type="button" class="btn btn-large btn-block btn-primary">Block level button</button>
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-large btn-block">Block level button</button>

- - - -

Disabled state

Make buttons look unclickable by fading them back 50%.

- -

Button element

Add the disabled attribute to <button> buttons.

- - -

<button type="button" class="btn btn-large btn-primary disabled" disabled="disabled">Primary button</button>
-<button type="button" class="btn btn-large" disabled="disabled">Button</button>

- - -

Anchor element

Add the .disabled class to <a> buttons.

- Primary link - Link -

<a href="#" class="btn btn-large btn-primary disabled">Primary link</a>
-<a href="#" class="btn btn-large disabled">Link</a>

- -

- We use .disabled as a utility class here, similar to the common .active class, so no prefix is required. Also, this class is only for aesthetic; you must use custom JavaScript to disable links here. -

- - -

One class, multiple tags

Use the .btn class on an <a>, <button>, or <input> element.

- -

<a class="btn" href="">Link</a>
-<button class="btn" type="submit">Button</button>
-<input class="btn" type="button" value="Input">
-<input class="btn" type="submit" value="Submit">

- -

As a best practice, we highly recommend matching using the <button< element whenever possible to ensure matching cross-browser rendering.

- -

- - - - -

- - -

Add classes to an <img> element to easily style images in any project. Rounded corners are not available in IE8.

<img src="..." class="img-rounded">
-<img src="..." class="img-circle">
-<img src="..." class="img-thumbnail">

Glyphicons attribution

Glyphicons Halflings are normally not available for free, but an arrangement between Bootstrap and the Glyphicons creator have made this possible at no cost to you as developers. As a thank you, we ask you to include an optional link back to Glyphicons whenever practical.

- - -

How to use

Add the appropriate class to any inline element. All icon classes are prefixed with glyphicon- for easy styling. To use, place the following code just about anywhere:

<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>

- -

Want to change the icon color? Just change the color of the parent element.

When using beside strings of text, as in buttons or nav links, be sure to leave a space after the icon for proper spacing.

- - -

Icon examples

Use them in buttons, button groups for a toolbar, navigation, or prepended form inputs.

When to use

Use on a limited basis and avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site. Instead, use them to complement each device's presentation. Responsive utilities should not be used with tables, and as such are not supported.

- -

Test case

Resize your browser or load on different devices to test the above classes.

Visible on...

Green checkmarks indicate that class is visible in your current viewport.

Phone✔ Phone
Tablet✔ Tablet
Desktop✔ Desktop

Hidden on...

Here, green checkmarks indicate that class is hidden in your current viewport.
