I have been adding , and elements to my demo portfolio, just to practice what I've learnt so far, but it seems that these tags mess up the "container" class from bootstrap.
initial version without accessibility tags
<!-- <header> -->
<div class="container">
<div class="hl1"></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 p-3">
<div class="card mx-auto" style="width: 18rem;">
<img src="./portrait2.jpg" class="card-img-top" alt="My Portrait">
<div class="card-body">
<p class="card-text">Hello there! This is me!</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="hl1"></div>
</div>
<!-- </header>
As you can see, I've commented out the tag for the moment. After I add the header, article and footer tags, the content swaps out of the container class and the (hr)tag goes across the total width of the page.
The good part is that the content remains at the same location, like only the (hr)tag would be affected by the tags.
My question is there a way to overcome this? Or I should forget the accessibility tags for now, until I become more advanced in knowledge.
Thanks.
It'd be better if you could provide the entire code. Although, you can check if your Bootstrap CDN link is BELOW the link to your external stylesheet. This makes sure that the Bootstrap properties are prevalent over anything you have defined in your stylesheet.

Hey so I am trying to inject a background image to my Django template however for some reason I do not know why it not loading I tried inline styling on the html(** ) tag but nothing
I the tried to to make an external css file but still not working can you please show me what I can be possibly doing wrong here.
** Below is the code to my html tag that I want to put the background image to**
<div class="hero-wrap js-fullheight" data-stellar-background-ratio="0.5">
<div class="overlay"></div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row no-gutters slider-text js-fullheight align-items-center justify-content-start" data-scrollax-parent="true">
<div class="col-md-6 ftco-animate">
<h2 class="subheading">Leave the house cleaning chores to us</h2>
<h1 class="mb-4">Let us do the dirty work, so you don't have to.</h1>
<p>Learn more <span class="ion-ios-arrow-forward"></span></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here below is the external css file that I made to test if it would work having an external stylesheet
.hero-wrap js-fullheight{
background-image: url('static/images/bg_1.jpg');
}
If possible can you teach me how I can make inline background-image on the html tags using Django templates
try this:
<div class="hero-wrap js-fullheight" data-stellar-background-ratio="0.5" style="background-image: url({% static '/images/bg_1.jpg' %});">
I am a beginner in web designing. I know some basics about layout in CSS.
I am tried to create a blog post layout, given in the picture below.

Please help me to do that.
Welcome to StackOverflow! As heads up, usually you will want to come here for more specific questions to solve problems with your code, or to explain weird behavior you didn't quite understand. Your question is a little bit too open ended to be answered here but I can help you get started:
For starters, start thinking about translating every box in your picture into an HTML div. If you break each part of that picture into divs it can be a good foundation to add your css styling on top of. In your case, you might want something like this:
<div id="articleList">
<div id="article_1">
<div id="articleImage_1">
<img src="articleImage_1.jpg" alt="Picture #1">
</div>
<div id="articleContent_1">
<div id="articleTags_1"></div>
<div id="articleTitle_1"></div>
<div id="articleAuthorNameAndCommentsSubheader_1"></div>
<div id="articleBody_1"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="article_2">
<div id="articleImage_2">
<img src="articleImage_2.jpg" alt="Picture #2">
</div>
<div id="articleContent_2">
<div id="articleTags_2"></div>
<div id="articleTitle_2"></div>
<div id="articleAuthorNameAndCommentsSubheader_2"></div>
<div id="articleBody_2"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Of course you would be generating each row inside a for loop or .map() type function. You would also add in your .css in a 'class' attribute for every div.
Please let me know if you find this helpful by selecting my post as the answer, and don't be shy if you have any more questions :)
If you know about boostrap than you can use this boostrap card to create that layout you want. Here is the sample code for it.
<div class="card w-50">
<div class="card-img-top d-flex align-items-center bg-light">
<div>
<img class="img-fluid" src="http://via.placeholder.com/150x150/1f1a38/ffffff?
text=Image" alt="Card image cap">
</div>
<p class="col p-2 m-0">Text next to the right of the image</p>
</div>
</div>
There is a lot of tutorial about bootstrap elements.
But I want to know where I must use nav/header/container/row/well/panel/section
for example..Do it needs use row for column 12?
1- currently I do it this way:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid"> /*only for top navbar*/
<nav>
</div>
<div class="container"> /* for body */
<header></header>
<main class="row">
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
<div class="col-md-5"></div>
<div class="col-md-5"></div>
</main>
<footer class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
</footer>
</div>
</body>
Is it true?
2- Is this format true or necessary?
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12"></div>
</div>
3- which one is standard?
<div class ="well">
<div class="row"> <div class="col-md-*"></div> </div>
</div>
or
<div class ="row">
<div class="well"> <div class="col-md-*"></div> </div>
</div>
4- dose it need use "container" class for all section or only for parent section?
for 1:- yes it's a correct method. whenever you want to use bootstrap column classes like col-xs-12 in their first parent you must put class " row ".
for 2:- this is true. method also accessory.
for 3:- first option is correct.
for 4:- depends of need of page design. if all site are in same container with then you can put it in parent class.
All options you mentioned are correct.
However, below written structure makes sense. That means if you are using col in container or container-fluid it should be in row.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-*-*">
</div>
</div>
</div>
If anytime you want to check how well your bootstrap is written, you can check it on http://www.bootlint.com/
But I want to know where I must use nav/header/section/footer
Well all these fields are only for semantic purpose, actually they all could be div. In the future or even now it is best practise for SEO to use nav for navigation, footer for the footer etc. For example header should be used to introduce content, it often contains <h1> - <h6> tags.
There are many informations to this in the web, here is a reference
All the other bootstrap classes are just styles which you could apply by yourself. A container for example can be used once for all of your content if you never need a full width element, but sometimes you have a situation where you need a full width element (f.e. an image) then you dont want to wrap all of your content into container.
Here you want to use multiple containers and not one for everything (Fiddle)
Hope this helps you a bit.
I'm using Bootstrap 3, I'm not exactly sure why is offsetting to the
right.
<div class="container">
<div id="content">
<a href="/winning-films">
<div class="text-center banner">Check out the 2015 Salt Flats Film winners!!!</div>
</a>
<div class="row">
<div id="main-page">
<h2>SALT FLATS FILM FESTIVAL</h2>
<div class="center-slider">
<?php include_once('jssor_slider.php')?>
</div>
<h3>Presented by</h3>
<a href="http://www.kidsfindjoy.org">
<img class="img-responsive center center-block" src= "/img/joy-logo.jpg">
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Is there someway to center the div with the container class on mobile?
It's hard to say without seeing the exact code, but as a general strategy inspect the page with something like chrome developer tools and see which element(s) are wider than the viewport, and thus widening the width or their parent elements.
Well, Here I have changed the order of the div with the class text-center banner, the <a></a> tag must be inside the div.
<div class="cointainer">
<div id="content">
<div class="text-center banner">Check out the 2015 Salt Flats Film winners!!!</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="main-page">
<h2>SALT FLATS FILM FESTIVAL</h2>
<div class="center-slider">
<!--?php include_once('jssor_slider.php')?-->
</div>
<h3>Presented by</h3>
<img class="img-responsive center center-block" src="/img/joy-logo.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The second suggest is to verify to use this line in your html head <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
this will help you to center your page on load and disable zoom and scroll
The third suggest is to use Pingendo, if you are a new developer, this tool will help you to generate a beautiful view or interface with Bootstrap, and you will see the HTML code and CSS3 live when you draft elements of bootstrap to your view.

If my page uses the Bootstrap class row, col-md-x and such to arrange the content, what would be the proper way to create a distance between each div containing a whole element semantically speaking?
I am adding a div with a padding between the divs to simulate the gap, is this a good tactic or is there a better one?
Starting from Bootstrap v4 you can simply add the following to your div class attribute: mt-2 (margin top 2)
<div class="mt-2 col-md-12">
This will have a two-point top margin!
</div>
More examples are given in the docs: Bootstrap v4 docs
Adding a padding between the divs to simulate a gap might be a hack, but why not use something Bootstrap provides. It's called offsets. But again, you can define a class in your custom.css (you shouldn't edit the core stylesheet anyway) file and add something like .gap. However, .col-md-offset-* does the job most of the times for me, allowing me to precisely leave a gap between the divs.
As for vertical spacing, unfortunately, there isn't anything set built-in like that in Bootstrap 3, so you will have to invent your own custom class to do that. I'd usually do something like .top-buffer { margin-top:20px; }. This does the trick, and obviously, it doesn't have to be 20px, it can be anything you like.
I required only one instance of the vertical padding, so I inserted this line in the appropriate place to avoid adding more to the css. <div style="margin-top:5px"></div>
The easiest way to do it is to add mb-5 to your classes. That is <div class='row mb-5'>.
NOTE:
mb varies betweeen 1 to 5
The Div MUST have the row class
An alternative way to accomplish what you are asking, without having problems on the mobile version of your website, (Remember that the margin attribute will brake your responsive layout on mobile version thus you have to add on your element a supplementary attribute like #media (min-width:768px){ 'your-class'{margin:0}} to override the previous margin)
is to nest your class in your preferred div and then add on your class
the margin option you want
like the following example:
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="events">
<img src="..." class="img-responsive" alt="...."/>
<div class="figcaption">
<h2>Event Title</h2>
<p>Event Description.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="events">
<img src="..." class="img-responsive" alt="...."/>
<div class="figcaption">
<h2>Event Title</h2>
<p>Event Description. </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="events">
<img src="..." class="img-responsive" alt="...."/>
<div class="figcaption">
<h2>Event Title</h2>
<p>Event Description. </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And on your CSS you just add the margin option on your class which in this example is "events" like:
.events{
margin: 20px 10px;
}
By this method you will have all the wanted space between your divs making sure you do not brake anything on your website's mobile and tablet versions.
