I'm using Bootstrap 4, but I don't want to use screen width. I want layout over whatever width the container has.
I couldn't find the details after searching.
The following codes are placed according to the screen width. However, I want it to be adjusted according to the current width of the container I specified.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4">
SIDEBAR
</div>
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div class="row"> /*The following boxes should be shaped according to the width of this container.*/
<div class="col-xl-4 col-lg-3">A</div>
<div class="col-xl-4 col-lg-3">B</div>
<div class="col-xl-4 col-lg-3">C</div>
<div class="col-xl-4 col-lg-3">D</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I'm not very sure what you need exactly, but it seems that you want a boxed layout instead a fluid one. If you use a .container class will apply the boxed effect you want.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-xl-4">Column</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-xl-4">Column</div>
</div>
</div>
Here the documentation: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/overview/
If this is not what you need, please try to be more clear about your goal.

If you make the screen smaller (in width) the divs on the bottom (under 'My work') stack up on each other. I was wondering how to fix this?
See jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/sxnmyjtk/
html:
<div class="tiles">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="servatius">
<p>Servatius</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="levy">
<p>Levy Consult</p>

They are stacking on top of each other because you are using position absolute in your CSS. If you remove this they will then stack vertically when the width is reduced.
If you want the divs to remain side by side you can also consider using col-xs-3 instead of col-md-3.
You can add other bootstrap classes or CSS depending on what results you are tying to achieve when width is reduced.
I have Bootstrap 3 layout. Content is based on 10 from 12 available columns. Let's say I have something like this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-lg-offset-1">LEFT COL</div>
<div class="col-lg-3">CENTER COL</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-lg-pull-1 pull-right">RIGHT COL</div>
</div>
</div>
With this I have left and right columns positioned as I want it to be - one column width from both, left and right sides of browser window. And I want to position center column exactly in center, between left and right columns, to have same margin between them.
When using offset / pull / push bootstrap classes, they are positioning columns too much left or right.
I have made my own workaround class .col-center which works like .col-lg-offset-1 only I'm using calc() function to subtract the offset in pixels from bootstrap's percentage value. But in my opinion this solution kind of sucks.
Any advice?
edit:
sample image to describe better
Can you not align the content within the columns to get what you're after?
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">LEFT COL</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-center">CENTER COL</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-right">RIGHT COL</div>
</div>
</div>
I believe this can't be done in bootstrap. But you can achieve this result by adding a customized class and additional markup. Try if this works for you and breaks nothing :P
HTML
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-lg-offset-1">LEFT COL</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<div class="col-center col-lg-9"> CENTER COL
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-lg-pull-1 pull-right">RIGHT COL</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.col-center {
margin: auto;
float: none;
}
You can add flexbox and distribute the cols evenly.
I'm trying to follow the guide here: http://getbootstrap.com/css/
and I just can't seem to understand what the "row" class is doing. I was trying some of the examples in the guide such as:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">.col-xs-12 .col-md-8</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4">.col-xs-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
I tried it with the row div and without it, and I was trying to place everything inside a container, and there was no difference at all, they all looked the same.
Could anyone explain what the meaning of the "row" class is ?
In Bootstrap, the "row" class is used mainly to hold columns in it. Bootstrap divides each row into a grid of 12 virtual columns. In the following example, the col-md-6 div will have the width of 6/12 of the "row"s div, meaning 50%. The col-md-4 will hold 33.3%, and the col-md-2 will hold the remaining 16.66%.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
</div>
I like to think of the row as a container that can contain X many columns equal to 12. You would use the row class to separate different stacked element (columns).
The columns as you defined them col-xs-12 col-md-8 mean that on a medium sized screen and above the div will span 8/12 of the page and on a xs small screen (mobile) it will span the full 12 columns. This works with the col-xs-12 col-md-4 class because 8 + 4 = 12.
If your entire site is split this way (8/12 and 4/12) then all you really would need is one row! Other wise you'd create another row for different column width. An example would be:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-8"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3"></div>
</div>
</div>
The container class is used to create a nice margin around your entire site, but if you have a portion of your site you want to span across the entire width, you would need to close the container and create a container-fluid class. Then create another container to get the margin back. Hope that all makes since! Just how I think about it as.
The difference can be seen here with row class. Row like container is a class applied to the element.
P.S: run the snippet in full view
.color {
background: #cfcfcf
}
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class='color container'>
Container only
</div>
<p>
<div class='color container-fluid'>
<div class=row>
Fluid Container & row
</div>
</div>

<div class='color container'>
<div class=row>
Container & Row
</div>

I have some html content that I want to align and distribute as two columns beneath each other, of equal content.
But on mobile divices, I'd like the content to be stacked as one column.
How could I achieve this using bootstrap css?
I tried as follows, which did not work:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-2">
//the content to distribute
</div>
</div>
Additionally, I cannot use css columns as I have to support IE8+9.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6">
//first half
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6">
//second half
</div>
</div>
The col-xs-12 tell the column to be at full screen when using mobile phones (or small screens).
The col-sm-6 tell the column to be at half size of the row when using any higher size devices.
I suggest reading bootstrap docs
----Edit----
If you want to use columns css- also for ie8,9 you can check this js plug in:
http://welcome.totheinter.net/columnizer-jquery-plugin/
hi you can use this i think please take a look
.tt{
border : 2px solid grey;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 tt">
first half
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 tt">
second half
</div>
</div>
</div>
and here is the working demo code..

I have been looking over other questions posted on SO and tried the CSS however I cannot seem to align the "box" HxV within the container.
What is the best way to get it to display HxV responsive?
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2 center-block">
box
</div>
</div>
</div>
Create an class like .centred-col and write an rule like
.centred-col{ float: none; margin:auto;}add this after ur .col classes.
Using .container centers and auto margins your grid to begin with, there should be no need for offsets:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
box
</div>
</div>
</div>
Note: .col-xs-12 will set your column to the full width after container margins from the XS size to the LG size.
