At https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/tryit.asp?filename=trybs_form_horizontal_static&stacked=h, please paste/Run the following HTML and view the results:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Bootstrap 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/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<body>

<div class="container">
  <h2>Horizontal form with static control</h2>
  <form class="form-horizontal" action="/action_page.php">
    <div class="form-group">

    <div class="form-group">
      <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="email">Email 2:</label>
      <div class="col-sm-10">
        <p class="form-control-static">someoneelse@example.com</p>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
      <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="pwd">Password:</label>
      <div class="col-sm-10">          
        <input type="password" class="form-control" id="pwd" placeholder="Enter password" name="pwd">
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">        
      <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </form>
</div>

</body>
</html>

How do I reduce the vertical spacing between the rows?

Thanks!

Hi jeff.hooper

For your problem, you coud change the margin-bottom of rows,

You could add css in you page as below:

 <style>
        .form-group {
            margin-bottom:5px;
        }
    </style>

Best regard

Cathy

.col-sm-10 {
width: 83.33333333%;
height: 20px;
}

Give height as 20px for .col-sm-10 and .col-sm-2

Regards,

Nicky

Cathy Zou, thanks for your reply. Your solution worked. But even at 0px, I needed more reduction in spacing. I tried negative values, but that didn't work.

Nicky, this gave me the desired spacing:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Bootstrap 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/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<div class="container">
  <h2>Horizontal form with static control</h2>
  <form class="form-horizontal" action="/action_page.php">
    <style>.col-sm-2 {height:5px;}</style>
    <style>.col-sm-10 {height:5px;}</style>
    <div class="form-group">
      <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="email">Email:</label>
      <div class="col-sm-10">
        <p class="form-control-static">someone@example.com</p>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
      <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="email">Email 2:</label>
      <div class="col-sm-10">
        <p class="form-control-static">someoneelse@example.com</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </form>
</div>
