I read millons of time that if you define a bootstrap class in your own CSS stylesheet you will overwrite them so your created element will have your predefined style as you want.
While this is true to half of the page, my input button using the class form-control it just won't work, and I can't figure it out the reason why, as anybody else is having this problem.
Here's a snippet with my issue:
var searcher = document.getElementById('buscador');
searcher.addEventListener("click", function()
{
var master = searcher.parentNode;
searcher.removeChild(searcher.childNodes[0]);
searcher.style.animationName = "expandismo";
searcher.style.animationDuration = "1s";
setTimeout(function(){
master.removeChild(searcher);
var barraSearch = document.createElement('input');
barraSearch.setAttribute('type', 'text');
barraSearch.setAttribute('id', 'barraSearch');
barraSearch.setAttribute('class', 'form-control');
barraSearch.setAttribute('placeholder', 'Buscar...');
var spanCheto = document.createElement('span');
var botonCheto = document.createElement('button');
var secondSpan = document.createElement('span');
spanCheto.setAttribute('class', 'input-group-btn');
botonCheto.setAttribute('class', 'btn btn-default');
secondSpan.setAttribute('class', 'glyphicon glyphicon-search');
secondSpan.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');
botonCheto.appendChild(secondSpan);
spanCheto.appendChild(botonCheto);
master.appendChild(barraSearch);
barraSearch.focus();
}, 1000);
}, false);.container-fluid
