[html] Twitter Bootstrap inline input with dropdown

I'm trying to display a text input inline with a dropdown button. I can't figure out how to do this though. Here's the HTML I've tried (I've put all of it on a single line with no results):

<div class="input-append">
  <input type="text" placeholder="foo" class="input-mini">
  <div class="btn-group">
    <a id="amount_type" class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">10<span class="caret"></span></a>
    <ul id="amount_type_options" class="dropdown-menu">
      <li class="selected"><a href="#">10</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">100</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">1000</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

Is this possible?

Thank you

The answer is


This is the code for Bootstrap with input search dropdown. I search a lot then i try its in javascript and html with bootstrap,

HTML Code :

<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-xs-3 control-label">Language</label>
    <div class="col-xs-7">
        <div class="dropdown">
          <button id="mydef" class="btn dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" onclick="doOn(this);">
            <div class="col-xs-10">
                <input type="text" id="search" placeholder="search" onkeyup="doOn(this);"></input>
            </div>
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
         </button>
      <ul id="def" class="dropdown-menu" style="display:none;" >
            <li><a id="HTML" onclick="mydef(this);" >HTML</a></li>
            <li><a id="CSS" onclick="mydef(this);" >CSS</a></li>
            <li><a id="JavaScript" onclick="mydef(this);" >JavaScript</a></li>
      </ul>
      <ul id="def1" class="dropdown-menu" style="display:none"></ul>
    </div>
</div>

Javascript Code :

function doOn(obj)
     {

        if(obj.id=="mydef")
        {
            document.getElementById("def1").style.display="none";
            document.getElementById("def").style.display="block";
        }
        if(obj.id=="search")
        {
            document.getElementById("def").style.display="none";

            document.getElementById("def1").innerHTML='<li><a id="Java" onclick="mydef(this);" >java</a></li><li><a id="oracle" onclick="mydef(this);" >Oracle</a></li>';

            document.getElementById("def1").style.display="block";
        }

    }
    function mydef(obj)
    {
        document.getElementById("search").value=obj.innerHTML;
        document.getElementById("def1").style.display="none";
        document.getElementById("def").style.display="none";
    }

You can use jquery and json code also as per your requirement.

This is my solution is use display: inline

Some text <div class="dropdown" style="display:inline">
  <button class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenu1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true">
    Dropdown
    <span class="caret"></span>
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu1">
    <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
  </ul>
</div> is here

Search for the "datalist" tag.

<input list="texto_pronto" name="input_normal">
<datalist id="texto_pronto">
    <option value="texto A">
    <option value="texto B">
</datalist>

Daniel Farrell's Bootstrap Combobox does the job perfectly. Here's an example from his GitHub repository.

_x000D_
_x000D_
$(document).ready(function(){_x000D_
  $('.combobox').combobox();_x000D_
  _x000D_
  // bonus: add a placeholder_x000D_
  $('.combobox').attr('placeholder', 'For example, start typing "Pennsylvania"');_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">_x000D_
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-combobox/1.1.8/css/bootstrap-combobox.min.css">_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-combobox/1.1.8/js/bootstrap-combobox.min.js"></script>_x000D_
_x000D_
<select class="combobox form-control">_x000D_
  <option></option>_x000D_
  <option value="PA">Pennsylvania</option>_x000D_
  <option value="CT">Connecticut</option>_x000D_
  <option value="NY">New York</option>_x000D_
  <option value="MD">Maryland</option>_x000D_
  <option value="VA">Virginia</option>_x000D_
</select>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

As an added bonus, I've included a placeholder in script since applying it to the markup does not hold.


As of Bootstrap 3.x, there's an example of this in the docs here: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#input-groups-buttons-dropdowns

<div class="input-group">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="...">
  <div class="input-group-btn">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Action <span class="caret"></span></button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" role="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 -->
