As it is said in the Bootstrap web site, an HTML document structure must be like this
(http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/scaffolding.html)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  ...
</html>

But I noticed that, this causes one problem, that an input height is greater than usual, it becomes normal just when I remove the doctype declaration.

how to explain this ?

    I imagine that it’s default behavior that you can’t do anything about when you use the HTML5 doctype.

    You could use an CSS Reset to clear out any default formatting that browsers/doctypes create for your elements. Here is a pretty commonly used one, although it doesn’t include anything for the input tag.: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
    For the input size specifically, you could try some css like this:

    input {
    height:30px;
}

    Or whatever height you want it to be. Let me know if I’m going in the wrong direction here.
