According to bootstrap’s documentation, the class is used to hide information intended only for screen readers from the layout of the rendered page.
Screen readers will have trouble with your forms if you don’t include a label for every input. For these inline forms, you can hide the labels using the .sr-only class.
Here is an example styling used:
.sr-only { position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; padding: 0; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0,0,0,0); border: 0; }
Is it important or can I remove it? Works fine without.
It’s important, don’t remove it.
You should always consider screen readers for accessibility purposes. Usage of the class will hide the element anyways, therefore you shouldn’t see a visual difference.
