Form Elements
An HTML form is a section of a document containing normal content, markup, special elements called controls (checkboxes, radio buttons, menus, etc.), and labels on those controls. Users generally "complete" a form by modifying its controls (entering text, selecting menu items, etc.), before submitting the form to an agent for processing (e.g., to a Web server, to a mail server, etc.)
Bootstrap Form fields
Bootstrap has some global styling defined for each of the individual form controls. All textual <input>, <textarea>, and <select> elements with .form-control
are set to width: 100%; by default. Wrap labels and controls in .form-group
for optimum spacing.
