aligning form elements bootstrap 3

Question

Can't seem to horizontally align my form elements with bootstrap 3. I tried adding .form-inline but still no results. Heres my form.

 <form>
    <input type="input" />
    <select></select>
    <select name="something">
        <option value="1">1</option>

    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

Solution

I think you're missing <div class="form-group"> around your form elements and you need to add a form-control class to your fields. From the docs:

<form class="form-inline" role="form">
  <div class="form-group">
    <input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail2" placeholder="Enter email">
  </div>
  ...
</form>
