Align label and textbox in BS 3

Question

I am trying to align a label & text box using Bootstrap 3

This doesnt work as 'Start Date' gets wrapped. I also tried form-horizontal but doesn't help me.

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3 input-group">
        <label class="active">Start Date</label>    
        <input type="text" class="form-control">
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3">
        End Date  
        <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-xs-3">                         
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6">
        Project URL 
        <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-xs-6">
    </div>  
</div>

Can anyone help me please? Thanks, Kailas

Answer 2

use a form tag with class "form-horizontal" to wrap your content -> try it : 

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
  <div class="form-group">
   <label for="inputEmail3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
  <div class="col-sm-10">
   <input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Email">
   </div>
  </div>

</form>
