Why does the textbox and button looks out of layout on different screens?

Question

WHy does my page especially the Textbox and button part look out of place on a screen different than laptops or pc?

It goes out of order on tablets or 40inches screen. How to maintain it across all types?

I have used bootstrap etc and some custom css but still the textbox and button part goes out of the way.

<div id="appointments" class="appointment-main-block appointment-two-main-block">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row topheaderMargin">
            <div class="section text-center">
                <h3 class="section-heading text-center">Select Services</h3>
            </div>

            <div class="col-md-8 col-sm-12" style="width: 100% !important">
                <div class="appointment-block">

                    <h5 class="form-heading-title"><span class="form-heading-no">1.</span>Services</h5>
                    <div class="row">

                        @using (Html.BeginForm())
                        {
                            <div class="col-sm-6">
                                @*<input type="text" class="form-control date-pick searchBox" id="appointment-date" placeholder="Appointment Date">*@
                                @Html.EditorFor(Model => Model.Booking_ID, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control searchBox", placeholder = "Booking ID" } })
                                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Model => Model.Booking_ID, "", new { @class = "ErrorMessages searchBox" })
                            </div>
                            <button type="button" onclick="selectService()" class="btn btn-primary pull-right searchButton">Save</button>
                        }

                    </div>
                    <div class="table-responsive">
                        <table id="tblServices" class="table table-condensed table-responsive tableBody">

                            <thead>
                                <tr>

                                    <th>S.No</th>
                                    <th>Service Name</th>
                                    <th>Service Price</th>

                                </tr>
                            </thead>
                            <tbody id="tbodytblServices"></tbody>

                        </table>
                    </div>

                </div>

            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

What do you mean by 'out of the layout'. Pls add more details like screenshot of web page on different screens. — , May 05 '18 at 13:19
Could you add a plunkr which shows the error ? When I take your code and slightly modify it to not use asp.net tags then I get a quite correct layout ? https://embed.plnkr.co/CDDvQLhIqtDy59mZ1Nni/ Could you provide your custom css? — LukeFilewalker, May 05 '18 at 13:27
Did you do research because this is a question asked by many people.

@LukeFilewalker even in your plunker the SAVE button is misplaced — , May 05 '18 at 13:30

As I see it, you only need to surround your button with a div that gets placed in the grid-layout correctly.

<div class="col-sm-2 col-sm-pull-4">
   <button type="button" onclick="selectService()" class="btn btn-primary pull-right searchButton">Save</button>
</div>

The button is not in a container used by the grid-layout, so it got not placed accordingly and was not using any top-level layouts defined in bootstrap.

There are different things I don't really get in your layout. I would suggest you different things. I have them consolidated in this plunker. Please take alook at it. If you got any questions please feel free to write a comment.

Maybe you need to take a look at the bootstrap documentation. It should clarify many questions according the grid-layout:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/

Please be advised that some of the classes used to position cols in the grid-layout have changed or got extended with the release of Bootstrap 4. If you're using an older version like bootstrap 3, take a look at the corresponding documentation.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/
