javascript - How to partition input field to appear as separate input fields on screen?

Question

Look at the image:

I want design something like in the image, where a 4 digit one time password (OTP) is to be entered by user. Right now I have achieved this by 4 separate inputs and then combining values in javascript:

<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="0" maxlength="1"  />
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="0" maxlength="1" />
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="0" maxlength="1" />
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="0" maxlength="1" />

I am not sure if this is correct approach. I think there must be some styling options by which one input textbox would appear as partitioned one like in the image. Is it possible using bootstrap? How to style one input control to be appeared as partitioned field of inputs?

Answer 1

You dont have to keep 4 separate fields;

First you should adjust the character spacing, and than adjust border style of bottom...

#partitioned {
  padding-left: 15px;
  letter-spacing: 42px;
  border: 0;
  background-image: linear-gradient(to left, black 70%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%);
  background-position: bottom;
  background-size: 50px 1px;
  background-repeat: repeat-x;
  background-position-x: 35px;
  width: 220px;
}

<input id="partitioned" type="text" maxlength="4" />
