Hi Team

I have a label and want it closer to the @Html.EditorFor. Its far apart with so much spaces, here is what i tried on.

What I have tried:

C#

<pre> <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="CourseName" class="col-sm-3 col-form-label">CourseName</label>
                        <div class="col-sm-5">
                            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.CourseName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control", autofocus = "autofocus", placeholder = "CourseName" } })
                            
                            <label for="Content Licence" class="col-sm-3 col-form-label">Content Licence</label> 
                        </div>
                    </div>

If you want to use the col-* classes, your parent element needs the row class:

HTML

<div class="form-group row">

It doesn't make any sense to have the "Content Licence" label inside the <div class="col-sm-5"> element, since it's not related to the Course Name input.

If you want the input to stretch to fill the available width, use col-sm instead of col-sm-5.

If you want the label to only take up the space it requires, use col-sm-auto instead of col-sm-3. This will of course mean that other fields in the same form don't line up if their labels are longer or shorter.

Alternatively, you could right-align the labels by adding text-right to their class list.
