Bootstrap Form Inputs (more)
Static Control
If you need to insert plain text next to a form label within
a horizontal form, use the .form-control-static class on a <p> element:
Example
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-2">Email:</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<p class="form-control-static">someone@example.com</p>
</div>
</div>
</form>

The .input-group class is a container to enhance an input by adding an icon, text or a button in front or behind it as a "help text".
The .input-group-addon class attaches an icon or help text next to the input field.
