Justified button groups
Make a group of buttons stretch at equal sizes to span the entire width of its parent. Also works with button dropdowns within the button group.
With <a> elements
Just wrap a series of .btns in .btn-group.btn-group-justified.
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
<a class="btn btn-default" role="button">Left</a>
<a class="btn btn-default" role="button">Middle</a>
<a class="btn btn-default" role="button">Right</a>
</div>
<br>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
<a class="btn btn-default" role="button">Left</a>
<a class="btn btn-default" role="button">Middle</a>
<div class="btn-group">
<a class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown"> Dropdown <span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
With <button> elements
To use justified button groups with <button> elements, you must wrap each button in a button group. Most browsers don’t properly apply our CSS for justification to <button> elements, but since we support button dropdowns, we can workaround that.
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified">
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Left</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Middle</button>
</div>
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Right</button>
</div>
</div>
