I\'m using Twitter\'s Bootstrap to create the HTML/CSS for my website. I run into a problem when creating the forms, however:
Damnit. I was missing
<!DOCTYPE html>
at the top of the document.
Ok, I had the same problem and after weeks searching for a solution, this guy solved my problem!
getting application.css to override bootstrap
1 - create the file assets/stylesheets/my_styles.css.scss
2 - put the code bellow in my_styles.css.scss file:
input[type=text], input[type=password], input[type=email], input[type=tel] {
height: 33px !important;}
3 - In assets/stylesheets/application.css, put this:
*= require my_styles
after bootstraps require... in my case it is:
*= require font-awesome
*= require bootstrap_sb_admin_base_v2
*= require_self
*= require my_styles
*= require_tree .
*/
Hope it helps someone in trouble!
The <!DOCTYPE html>
fix did not work for me. But what helped was finding and removing following in our codebase:
*, *:before, *:after {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
I had this problem and drove me mad for hours as the cause was completely invisible. I already had the <!DOCTYPE html>
there and all the code was perfect. The problem turned out to be the text file encoding.
Using the linux 'file' command showed the source file coded as: "PHP script, UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text".
Running 'more' on the file showed some garbage chars () at the start of the files. I created new files within linux and copied/pasted the code in and everything started working as expected.
What fixed it for me was adding class="form-control"
to the input.
