Textbox size stays fixed with Bootstrap 3.2

See original GitHub issue

Bootstrap ver: 3.2 Typeahead ver: 0.10.5

Issue: When using typeahead 0.10.5 with Bootstrap 3.2, the textbox is automatically resizes to a fixed 120px width and does not allow for auto-resizing.

For instance, notice that the 2nd textbox will resize and stretches to the full width of it’s DIV, where as the one wrapped in DIV ID=“the-states” stays at a fixed width. Thus breaking the fluid / adjustable form.

Please address this issue

Workaround: None

Reproduce Sample:

Found the fix, PLEASE INCLUDE THIS IN YOUR DOCUMENTATION!

Add the following to typeahead.css

.twitter-typeahead {
  width: 100%;
}

Add the following to your javascrpit after $(“…”).typeahead({…});

$(".tt-hint").addClass("form-control");

@DevChive

If you add the width: 100% to the drop down it will extend the entire input too:

.scrollable-dropdown-menu .tt-menu {
  width: 100%;
  max-height: 150px;
  overflow-y: auto;
}
