How to center a card inside a container ( bootstrap) [duplicate] - html

Bootstrap Center Vertical and Horizontal Alignment
(17 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have a container and, inside it, a card. I tried using justify-content-center,mx-auto and hardcoding css properties to bring the card to the center of the container, but I did not get the actual output.
Here is my html file
<div class="container bg-warning">
<div class="row mx-auto centermycard">
<div class="card mx-auto ">
<div class="card-title"><h2 class="text-center">Find Lyrics For Your Song</h2></div>
<div class="card-body ">
<div class="container">
#using (Html.BeginForm("FetchLyrics", "LandingPage", FormMethod.Get, Model))
{
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Please fix the below errors")
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.songname, "I want a Song")
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.songname, new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.songname)
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.moviename, "From Movie")
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.moviename, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.artist, "By Artist")
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.artist, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.genre, "In genre")
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.genre, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-primary col-md-8 col-lg-8 text-center justify-content-center">Search</button>
</div>
}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
centermycard css properties
.centermycard {
margin:0 auto;
}
where did I miss?

Adding the class mx-auto to just the card worked fine. JSFiddle
However, I don't understand why you're using a container within a card itself. You already have the entire thing enclosed in a container.

Adjusting width of TextAreaFor

I have a form that has a few TextBoxFor and 1 TextAreaFor
Here it is:
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.FromName, new { #class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.FromName, new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.FromName)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.FromEmail, new { #class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.FromEmail, new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.FromEmail)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.ToEmail, new { #class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ToEmail, new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.ToEmail)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Message, new { #class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Message,60, 150, new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Message)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Send" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
A picture of what it looks like:
The problem is that I am unable to adjust the width of the TextAreaFor.
I know that Bootstrap grid system is restricting this, but I don't think this should be impossible to simply keep the label where it is, but make the textareafor wider instead of taller.
What I am looking for, is my TextAreaFor to be wider than the regular TextBoxFor. I have tried inserting outrageous numbers into the int rows && int columns parameters of TextAreaFor but the only one that seems to work is int rows.
Any idea on how I can get my TextAreaFor to expand across the page?
Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE:
I have created this Bootply for all of you.
I have figured this out. After Inspecting the Elements, I saw that all of the input, textarea, and select had a max-width of 280px.
So all I had to do was give the textarea a class and set its max-width to something that I prefer.

Align CheckBox to the right using Bootstrap

I'm using MVC5 and Bootstrap and I have the following code with produces a label and a checkbox. I want to align the checkbox to the right of it's div. Is there a bootstrap class for this? Or how do I do it in CSS?
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Use_Address, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-3" })
<div class="col-md-9">
<div class="checkbox">
#Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.Site.Use_Address, new { id = "checkUseAddress" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
There is a class "pull-right" in bootstrap, try this out.

How do you left align a div?

I Have tried to left align a div by using:
<div class="col-md-3 float-left">
and
<div class="col-md-3" style="text-align: left;">
nothing I try is working?
I tried the float now and the !important and still not working, so here is more of my code:
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Branch</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-2">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.BranchName, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.BranchName, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.BranchName, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-2">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Active, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-3" style="float: left !important;">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Active)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Active, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class=" col-md-offset-1 col-md-2">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is a pic to see what I mean. It looks terrible with the checkbox and the textbox so far from their labels.
Can't tell you much without more code or a more specific description of the problem. Regardless of that, my assumption is that you need the contents of a div left aligned? By the class names you are using, I assume you are using Bootstrap. In that case, try adding this class to your div:
text-left
If that doesn't work, try this:
style="text-align: left !important;"
If the second one works, you have CSS that is written somewhere else that is predominate, try to find this CSS and remove/change it. If you are confused about this, read up on CSS Specificity. Do not leave the !important attached for no reason; in general this is considered bad practice.
reference:
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#type-alignment
For left align of a div
<div style="float: left;"></div>
for left align of a text
<p style="text-align:left;"></p>
Try
<div class="col-md-1">
instead of
<div class="col-md-2">
on your Label Div's
The gap should come from the size of the col-md-2. If you choose col-md-1 the gap should be smaller.
You want to allign a div, and not a text. So you can use:
<div class="col-md-3" style="float:left">

How can I make everything(input textbox and buttons, and background image) on my MVC 5 page fixed no matter the screen size?

I am new to HTML/CSS/JS and trying to rewrite a ColdFusion PHP website(http://startabusinessweekend.com) to ASP.NET MVC5 EF5 with bootstrap 3 built-in.
I got all the business logic and functionalities working. I have been searching all day to figure out how to mimic the EXACT screen behavior. i.e. to keep the background image and the input text box fixed regardless of the screen sizes. I know this is the opposite of what MVC5/bootstrap is supposed to do - Responsive Web Design. Apart of redesigning the layout, I need to use the same layout and get it done in two days!
The problem I struggled with is that the input text boxes "float" around as the screen sizes change/shrink, which normally should be what you want for a RWD website. How can I dumb-down MVC5/bootstrap to display fixed content as you can see in the current website. http://startabusinessweekend.com.
In addition, the top part of the background image on my MVC webpage doesn't get displayed either.
If there is an answer out there please forgive me.
Thanks in advance!
here is the view cshtml I wrote:

Create view put table on the right side of the screen

I having MVC project with User entity which have one to many relationship with address,
I use code first and by scaffolding generate the view . in the create operation I see in the left side of the screen the fields from userid until working at .what I need is very simple,in the right side of the screen create table on the create view which is currently empty with one column that user can add to address,how should I do that?
Im very new to MVC and didn't find any documentation on how to add control like table in the right side of the create vied.
I try something like this without success
the table is in the bottom of the screen
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>User</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserId, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserId)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserId)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.WorkingAt, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.WorkingAt)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.WorkingAt)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
//This is the table which I want to be in the right side of the screen
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Adress)
</th>
</table>
<div>
#Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
Try this:
<table class="table col-md-offset-11 col-md-10">
<tr>
<th>
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Address)
</th>
</table>
