Bootstrap 3 form-horizontal not working with bootstrapWizard

Question

Pardon me, this might be silly question.

I'm trying to mix bootstrap 3 with twitter bootstrap wizard in Meteor:

<template name="bootstrapWizard">
    <div id="rootwizard" class="tabbable tabs-left col-sm-6">
        <ul>
            <li><a href="#tab1" data-toggle="tab">First</a></li>
            <li><a href="#tab2" data-toggle="tab">Second</a></li>
            <li><a href="#tab3" data-toggle="tab">Third</a></li>
        </ul>
        <div class="tab-content">
            <div class="tab-pane" id="tab1">
                <form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="email">Email:</label>
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Enter email">
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="pwd">Password:</label>
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <input type="password" class="form-control" id="pwd" placeholder="Enter password">
                        </div>
                    </div>                  
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
                            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </form>
            </div>
            <div class="tab-pane" id="tab2">
                2
            </div>
            <div class="tab-pane" id="tab3">
                3
            </div>
            <ul class="pager wizard">
                <li class="previous first" style="display:none;"><a href="#">First</a></li>
                <li class="previous"><a href="#">Previous</a></li>
                <li class="next last" style="display:none;"><a href="#">Last</a></li>
                <li class="next"><a href="#">Next</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

The column (or grid (?)) doesn't work well. If I take class="form-horizontal" out, the rows does get closer, but not how it should be.

I'm really new to this CSS and bootstrap stuffs, but I've wandered on stackoverflow for a couple of minutes and couldn't find similar cases.

Wondering if there's any bootstrap CSS class i should've used...

*Reference: bootstrap wizard and twbs:bootstrap 3.3.5

Edit: Current looks:

What do you mean "doesn't work well"? Can you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing and state how you actually want it to look? — mccannf, Sep 11 '15 at 07:50

As left aligned tabs no longer exist in Bootstrap 3, so you need to use stacked pills instead. Then you need to do a bit of tweaking of stacked Bootstrap pills to make them look more like the tabs you want:

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#rootwizard').bootstrapWizard({'tabClass': 'nav nav-pills nav-stacked'});
});

/* Just for this snippet to push down the content - can be removed */
#rootwizard {
    margin-top: 10px;
}
/* Consistent styling of the label on horizontal form */
.control-label {
    padding-top: 7px;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    text-align: left;
}

/* Tweaking Bootstrap pills to look more like tabs when on the left */
.nav-stacked.nav-pills>li.active>a, .nav-stacked.nav-pills>li.active>a:focus, .nav-stacked.nav-pills>li.active>a:hover {
    color: #555;
    background-color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    border-right-color: transparent;
}
.nav-stacked.nav-pills>li>a {
    border-radius: 4px 0 0 4px;
}
.nav-stacked.nav-pills>li>a {
    margin-right: -1px;
}
.nav-stacked.nav-pills {
    border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
    padding-right: 0;
}

                    <li class="next"><a href="#">Next</a></li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Well, i didn't know we can do things like this before, but yes it works. And the comments you wrote on your CSS code make things easier to understand. Thank you! — shihandrana, Sep 11 '15 at 12:52
