simple form and input width error in bootstrap

Question

I've created extremely simple form that contains 2 inputs and 2 buttons. When I would like my form to take 6 spans width and be centered.

Below is my code:

<div class="container-fluid padded">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <!--filtry-->
                <div class="span6 offset3 padded" style="border: 1px solid black;">
                    <form action="#" method="get" class="form-horizontal">
                        <fieldset>
                            <div class="control-group">
                                <label class="control-label">Data od</label>
                                <div class="controls">
                                    <input type="text" id="dataOd" class="input-xlarge" />
                                </div>
                            </div>
                            <div class="control-group">
                                <label class="control-label">Data do</label>
                                <div class="controls">
                                    <input type="text" id="dataDo" class="input-xlarge" />
                                </div>
                            </div>
                            <div class="form-actions">
                                <div class="pull-right"> 
                                   <a class="btn wczytaj" href="#"><i class="icon-play icon-white"></i>Wczytaj</a>
                                   <a class="btn btn-info disabled eksportuj" href="#" id="eksportuj"><i class="icon-download-alt icon-white"></i>Eksportuj</a>
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </fieldset>
                    </form>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

My form in full size browser looks like this: enter image description here

but after resizing it I get this result: enter image description here

How should I change my code to get those input 100% width on every resolution? Is there any simple way or do I must tweak whole bootstrap?
I've tried adding span* classes to inputs but without any luck. There are similar questions on SO (https://stackoverflow.com/a/11193864/965722), but answer involves JavaScript and I would like to avoid that.

Here is jsfiddle with my code: http://jsfiddle.net/Misiu/HdSEn/

You need to increase the width of the span. Set span8 instead of span6.

Demo : jsfiddle.net/HdSEn/3

OR

If you want display full width of the box on page, add span12 instead of span6

jsfiddle.net/HdSEn/5/

Updated

 <div class="span7 offset3 padded well">

The problem is, form is greater than span7. Like form width> span7,6,5,4.... So you need to set width for input box.

I'm bit confused. Standard grid has 12 columns. I want my box centered and half of width (6 spans), so it should be span6 offset3? Please correct me here

Selvamani Over a year ago

See. you using span6 + offset3 in same class. So what actually happening here is its should take margin-left: 330px and width: 570px. If you want border for that division you should use 6+3=9 span9. I hope you understood. or if you want that span6 in center of the page, use should remove that offset3.

I've changed my markup just a bit: jsfiddle.net/Misiu/HdSEn/8 I was adding border only to visually see size of my container. If I change classes to span8 offset2 my div is nicely centered, but If change classes to span6 offset3 of span4 offset4 input are getting out. Can You help with that too?

why because of your form width is greater than span7. Like form width> span7,6,5,4.... So you need to set width for input box. jsfiddle.net/HdSEn/18

Hope this solves your issue:

JSFiddle Demo

CSS:

input[type="text"] {
    min-height:30px;
    width:100%;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
