EDIT: Updated for Bootstrap 3.0 EDIT 2: Typeahead call was modified. See new jsfiddle

After playing around with the styling it looks like the form-control class doesn't quite line-up with the tt-hint. So I made sure the margins and borders line up. Taking Hieu Nguyen's answer and adding border-radius and support for input-small/input-large

CSS

.twitter-typeahead .tt-hint
{
    display: block;
    height: 34px;
    padding: 6px 12px;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.428571429;
    border: 1px solid transparent;
    border-radius:4px;
}

.twitter-typeahead .hint-small
{
    height: 30px;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    font-size: 12px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    line-height: 1.5;
}

.twitter-typeahead .hint-large
{
    height: 45px;
    padding: 10px 16px;
    font-size: 18px;
    border-radius: 6px;
    line-height: 1.33;
}

Script for input-small/input-large

$('.typeahead.input-sm').siblings('input.tt-hint').addClass('hint-small');
$('.typeahead.input-lg').siblings('input.tt-hint').addClass('hint-large');

Hmm it looks like .form-control is a new class in Bootstrap 3 RC and it's a culprit of this issue (no doubt this is only RC version with many issues), you can just copy style of that class to .tt-hint class. So:

.twitter-typeahead .tt-hint {
    display: block;
    height: 38px;
    padding: 8px 12px;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.428571429;
    border: 1px solid transparent;
}

Update which works better with jQuery 1.9.1 and Bootstrap 3.0.0: http://jsfiddle.net/KrtB5/13

Solution 3

Check this out:

$('#foo').typeahead(...);
$('.tt-hint').addClass('form-control');

Solution 4

There's also an unofficial port of the Bootstrap 2 typeahead plugin:

Bootstrap 3 Typeahead

It doesn't require any additional CSS and it works with the latest version of Bootstrap.

Here's a demo on Plunker.

If you are using bootstrap.less, you have it much easier. BS 3 installs LESS 1.4.1 which now includes 'extend' goodness. see Less and Bootstrap: how to use a span3 (or spanX [any number]) class as a mixin?

Extend is killer feature for LESS now. You can now fully inherit (explicit named) classes. So no need to copy properties as in Hieu Nguyen's and Nick P's CSS answers. LESS will do it all with:

.twitter-typeahead .tt-hint:extend(.form-control all)
{}

The https://github.com/jharding/typeahead.js-bootstrap.css/blob/master/typeahead.js-bootstrap.less less code is broken for BS 3. I used it as a starting point, and also added making the dropdown not word wrap as per the BS 2 typeahead. My final less file is:

.tt-dropdown-menu
{
    min-width: 160px;
    margin-top: 2px;
    padding: 5px 0;
    /* from BS dropdowns.less .dropdown-menu */
    /* background-color: @dropdownBackground;*/
    background-color: @dropdown-bg;

    /* 
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    border: 1px solid @dropdownBorder;
    border: 1px solid @dropdownBorder;*/
    border: 1px solid @dropdown-fallback-border; // IE8 fallback
    border: 1px solid @dropdown-border;

    *border-right-width: 2px;
    *border-bottom-width: 2px;

    /*BS2 replaced with BS dropdowns.less .dropdown-menu*/
    /*.border-radius(6px);*/
    border-radius: 6px;

    /*.box-shadow(0 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.2));
    -webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
    -moz-background-clip: padding;*/
    .box-shadow(0 6px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.175));

    background-clip: padding-box;

}

.tt-suggestion
{
    display: block;
    padding: 3px 20px;
}

    .tt-suggestion.tt-is-under-cursor
    {
        /*color: @dropdownLinkColorHover;
        #gradient > .vertical(@dropdownLinkBackgroundHover, darken(@dropdownLinkBackgroundHover, 5%));*/
        color: @dropdown-link-hover-color;
        background-color: @dropdown-link-hover-bg;
    }

        .tt-suggestion.tt-is-under-cursor a
        {
            /*color: @dropdownBackground;*/
            color: @dropdown-bg;
        }

    .tt-suggestion > p
    {
        margin: 0;
        white-space: nowrap !important;     //dont conform suggestion to parent input width
    }

With the release of Bootstrap 3. Typeahead has been removed in favor of this:
https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js

Ive integrated it successfully on remote fetching of data

but Im having problem with the autocompletion

as you can see there are two text appearing on the textbox.

I've included the css (https://github.com/jharding/typeahead.js-bootstrap.css) as said in the documentation but no luck.

any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
