Bootstrap Placing Asterisk next to input textbox

In Twitter Bootstrap the grid system doesn't only work once for the entire width of your page, but also within individual col blocks, ie. once you define col-lg-3 you then have an additional 12 col blocks inside that block dividing the space into 12 smaller parts. Use it whichever way you like, ie dividing 8-4 (as in the below example - I recommend opening the snippet in Full page view), or any other, just make sure it's 12 in total.

Adding asterisk to required fields in Bootstrap 3

Use .form-group.required without the space.

.form-group.required .control-label:after {
  content:"*";
  color:red;
}

Edit:

For the checkbox you can use the pseudo class :not(). You add the required * after each label unless it is a checkbox

.form-group.required:not(.checkbox) .control-label:after, 
.form-group.required .text:after { /* change .text in whatever class of the text after the checkbox has */
   content:"*";
   color:red;
}

Note: not tested

You should use the .text class or target it otherwise probably, try this html:

<div class="form-group required">
   <label class="col-md-2 control-label"> </label>
   <div class="col-md-4">
      <div class="checkbox">
         <label class='text'> <!-- use this class -->
            <input class="" id="id_tos" name="tos" required="required" type="checkbox" /> I have read and agree to the Terms of Service
         </label>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

Ok third edit:

CSS back to what is was

.form-group.required .control-label:after { 
   content:"*";
   color:red;
}

HTML:

<div class="form-group required">
   <label class="col-md-2"> </label> <!-- remove class control-label -->
   <div class="col-md-4">
      <div class="checkbox">
         <label class='control-label'> <!-- use this class as the red * will be after control-label -->
            <input class="" id="id_tos" name="tos" required="required" type="checkbox" /> I have read and agree to the Terms of Service
         </label>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

how to add asterisk after input field and the position same after zoom in

Just position the asterisk after the field using ::after. It should stay in the same position when the user zooms in.

.required::before {  position: absolute;  left: -10px;  top: 0;  content: '*';  color: red;}

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/><form class="well form-horizontal" action=" " method="post"     id="user_edit">   <div class="form-group">
      <div class="col-md-8 inputGroupContainer ">         <div class="input-group required"><span class="input-group-addon">         <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i></span>         <input type="text" placeholder="First Name" class="form-control"          name="first_name" value=''         id="first_name" maxlength="50" />         </div>      </div>     </div> </form>

Use CSS to automatically add 'required field' asterisk to form inputs

Is that what you had in mind?

http://jsfiddle.net/erqrN/1/

<label class="required">Name:</label>
<input type="text">

<style>
  .required:after {
    content:" *";
    color: red;
  }
</style>

.required:after {  content:" *";  color: red;}

<label class="required">Name:</label><input type="text">

Bootstrap input-group-addon alignment issue when a span is added for required asterisks

It looks like the problem is that you put a <label> inside the input-group but only input-group-addon, input-group-btn and form-control should be inside the input-group. That <label> is forcing the icons to stretch to accommodate the label. So I removed the <label> and put it outside the input-group. After I did that, the asterisk addon worked fine.

Here is a fiddle with my changes: https://jsfiddle.net/ezvzvvqg/18/

Here it is in Stack Snippet form:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.5.1/js/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script><link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/><link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.5.1/css/bootstrap-datepicker3.css" rel="stylesheet"/><table class="table table-user-information" style="font-size:12px;">    <tbody>                <tr>            <td class="tdPopupTextDescription">Effective Date:</td>            <td id="tdEffectiveDate">                          <div id="divDatePickerEffectiveDate" class="input-group date" data-provide="datepicker" data-date-show-on-focus="true">                    <input type="text" class="form-control required error" id="txtEffectiveDate" maxlength="10" style="display:inline;">                    <div class="input-group-addon">                        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-th"></span>                    </div>                    <span class="input-group-addon" id="sizing-addon1"><span id="spanAstreisk" class="glyphicon glyphicon-asterisk requiredAsterisk"></span></span>                </div>                <label for="txtEffectiveDate" generated="true" class="error">This field is required.</label>
            </td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>

Adding a red asterisk to required fields

Rather than ::before use ::after and remove the float: right.

::before places a pseudoelement before the element you're selecting. ::after will place it after, so rather than putting the asterisk before the element you want and moving it with a float/position you can just place it after naturally.

The reason the asterisk was moved too far to the right is because floating moves the element to the right side of the parent container (not always the parent element, let me know if you want me to elaborate). So by floating right you were telling it to move to the far right of the label container which means just to the left of the text boxes, and not to the right of the label text.

.required-field::after {
    content: "*";
    color: red;
}
