I'm trying to use the modals within Twitter Bootstrap to implement a contact form.
Ideally I would like the first two fieldsets to align next to each other and the third fieldset (containing a textarea and a submit button) to occupy the full width of the modal.
I have tried to use rows and spans to make them play nicely but am not sure on the way to go about this. It seems like there isn't a total of span12 to start with.
Has anyone else achieved anything similar?
Yes, just put it inside the modal body using "row-fluid" class, which will adjust to available space (unless you changed these styles):
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6">something</div>
<div class="span6">something else</div>
</div>
Here is a solution only using Twitter Bootstrap 3 classes - namely row
, col-sm-6
and clearfix
:
HTML
...
<div class="modal-body row">
<div class="col-sm-6" style="border: 1px solid black;">
<p>First column with fieldset</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6" style="border: 1px solid blue;">
<p>Second column with fieldset</p>
</div>
<div class="clearfix">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12" style="border: 1px solid red;">
<p>Row that expands the whole width of modal – text area and submit button</p>
</div>
</div>
...
Added borders to the columns for viewability below. Note that there is also default Bootstrap padding around the <p>
tag, not bordered below.

If you want to look at how to structure the title or footer of the modal (before/after the ellipses in the above example), you can look at the layout of Bootstrap modals here.
You can do something like this
<div class="modal">
<form class="modal-form">
<div class="modal-header"></div>
<div class="modal-body"> input elements here </div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="submit" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="modal">
hope this helps,
