Button Groups
Bootstrap allows you to group a series of buttons together (on a single line) in a button group:

AppleSamsungSony
Use a <div> element with class .btn-group to create a button group:

Example
<div class="btn-group">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>
»
Tip: Instead of applying button sizes to every button in a group, use class .btn-group-lg|sm|xs to size all buttons in the group:

Example
<div class="btn-group btn-group-lg">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>
»
Vertical Button Groups
Bootstrap also supports vertical button groups:

Apple
Samsung
Sony
Use the class .btn-group-vertical to create a vertical button group:

Example
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
</div>
»
Justified Button Groups
To span the entire width of the screen, use the .btn-group-justified class:

Apple Samsung Sony
Example with <a> elements:

Example
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</a>
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</a>
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</a>
</div>
»
Note: For <button> elements, you must wrap each button in a .btn-group class:

Example
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
  <div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Apple</button>
  </div>
  <div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Samsung</button>
  </div>
  <div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Sony</button>
  </div>
</div>
