How to display widgets inline in shiny

Question

I have the below code to display the widgets inline(in same row) in shiny

div(style="display:inline-block; width: 150px;height: 75px;",selectInput("ddllgra", "Function:",c('mean','median','sd','count','min','max'), selected='mean')),
div(style="display:inline-block; width: 150px;height: 75px;",textInput(inputId="xlimitsmax", label="x-max", value = 0.5))

It is coming out in UI, but not in the same line order. one in coming in the upper side and other is coming on the lower side one the same line.

Is there a way to correct this misalignment?

Answer 1

Add vertical-align:top to your style

rm(list = ls())
library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(
    sidebarPanel(
          div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",selectInput("ddllgra", "Function:",c('mean','median','sd','count','min','max'), selected='mean')),
          div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",textInput(inputId="xlimitsmax", label="x-max", value = 0.5))),
    mainPanel()
)
server <- shinyServer(function(input,output){})
shinyApp(ui, server)

Edit: How to add space between the divs

You can use the same approach: Example below has 100px between the divs

rm(list = ls())
library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(
  sidebarPanel(
    div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",selectInput("ddllgra", "Function:",c('mean','median','sd','count','min','max'), selected='mean')),
    div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 100px;",HTML("<br>")),
    div(style="display: inline-block;vertical-align:top; width: 150px;",textInput(inputId="xlimitsmax", label="x-max", value = 0.5))),
  mainPanel()
)
server <- shinyServer(function(input,output){})
shinyApp(ui, server)

You should create a fluidPage with a fluidRow and then use the column function.

     fluidPage(fluidRow(
                        column(2, selectInput()),
                        column(1, selectInput()),
                        column(2, textInput())
                        )
               )
