Bootstrap provides following three types of form layouts: • Vertical form (this is default) • Horizontal form • Inline form

Standard rules for Vertical form layouts: • Wrap labels and form controls in div class=”form-group. • Add class .form-control to all textual input, textarea, and select elements.

Bootstrap Vertical Form Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Bootstrap Vertical Form Example</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<div class="container">
  <h2>Bootstrap Vertical Form Example</h2>
  <form action="/test.php">
    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="username">UserName:</label>
      <input type="email" class="form-control" id="username" placeholder="Enter UserName" name="username">
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="password">Password:</label>
      <input type="password" class="form-control" id="password" placeholder="Enter Password" name="password">
