Logout form within Bootstrap navbar dropdown
That will not really work, but you can create the logout-form somewhere else:
<form id="logout-form" style="display:none" action="/logout" method="POST"></form>
and when the user clicks on logout you just call
document.getElementById("logout-form").submit();
in Javascript or you set
onclick="document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();"
try this Sample [UPDATED]
.btn-logout {
width: 100%;
padding: 3px 20px !important;
text-align: left !important;
}<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
