I have the following four inner div container (small picture - text - small picture - text):
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-2">
<div class="components-circle inner-component"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<h3>Title</h3>
<p class="description">
Some ... long ... text
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<div class="components-circle inner-component"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<h3>Title</h3>
<p class="description">
Some ... long ... text
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The CSS for components-circle and inner-component:
.components-circle {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 115px;
width: 115px;
border-radius: 100%;
border: 2px solid #e0e0eb;
}
.inner-component {
background: url(http://...) no-repeat;
background-position: 20px 15px;
}
The problem is, that components-circle and inner-component are overlapping the text which is on the right side of them when I resize the browser, that means the template is not responsive.
How could I insert a line break when the browser is resized or make components-circle and inner-component responsive, so that they do not overlap the corrsponding text on the right side?
Is the content of the "col-sm-12" div overlapping the content of the page, or the text next to the image that is overlapping?
Anyway, you can fix both of these issues in this way, using a "container" or "row" div and adding a css for page resizing.
.components-circle {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 115px;
width: 115px;
border-radius: 100%;
border: 2px solid #e0e0eb;
}
.inner-component {
background: url(http://...) no-repeat;
background-position: 20px 15px;
}
.center-text{
text-align: left;
}
#media (max-width: 765px) {
.center-text{
text-align: center;
}
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-2">
<div class="components-circle inner-component"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 center-text">
<h3>Title</h3>
<p class="description">
Some ... long ... text
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<div class="components-circle inner-component"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 center-text">
<h3>Title</h3>
<p class="description">
Some ... long ... text
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You are already using row class so just setting the width of components-circle to 100% (rather than making it static) will work (as bootstrap will handle rest of the responsive stuff).
To keep the aspect ratio of height-width you have to remove height from components-circle and use padding-top. Have a look here to see how it works. (padding-top: 100% gives 1:1 aspect ratio)
Open the below snippet in full-page view and resize to see the effect :)
Though there can be other methods to achieve the same, IMO this one is quite simple and understandable.
.components-circle {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-top: 100%;
width: 100%;
border-radius: 100%;
border: 2px solid #e0e0eb;
}
.inner-component {
background: url(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/eiMAAOSwH3haAlKl/s-l300.png) no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
}

Update: To keep the inner image at the centre during resize, you have to set it's position to 0px 0px (which is default) and add background-size: contain to the inner-component. This will scale the image to fit the parent. See the updated snippet above!
To make a breakpoint that is hidden on larger viewports, you can use these CSS classes with the line break:
.d-md-none To make it invisible on anything larger than md sized screens.
.d-sm-none To hide it on anything larger than sm sized screens.
You may also need to put the row inside a container.
This is what it would look like: <br class="d-md-none">
If you want a line break without using a <br> element, check out this guide.
I can force this layout with a table, but I think the best practice may be some display/float settings in CSS. I have a header and menu section that are working as desired. Below them are top, middle, and bottom sections that are wrapping ugly. The top section should have an image followed by a block of text. The middle section should have 3 equal blocks of text. The bottom (footer) should have 1 equal block of text. Is there a clean way to do this without stuffing it into a table? Here's what I'm doing so far and as I say it's ugly:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

Here's one way. You just need to clear your floats, basically. Here's some reading on CSS Floats:

Though most people don't usually make content on their websites full-width (expand the Snippet to full screen to see what I mean).
Another way that's better/simpler for modern browsers is to use the Flexbox method (not really an option if you have to support IE8 or IE9, etc.).
I really want full width colour blocks to represent different sections of my webpage.
I am using bootstrap 3 to build my website. The website is in a container from the standard bootstrap but I would liked some of the sections to be colouful blocks that span the full browser windows.
Does anyone know how this is done and can post an example please?
What you need to do is to place the container within another tag. The tag should be the one taking up the entire width of the page with css background attribute. In this case, I have chosen the html5 "section" tag. Below is an example. You can take a look at this jsfiddle
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Bootstrap 3 - Full width coloured blocks</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<style type='text/css'>
.colored-block {
width: 100%;
padding: 30px 0px;
color: #fff;
}
.purple { background: purple; }
.green { background: green; }
.blue { background: blue; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<section class="colored-block purple">
<div class="container">
<h1>Header 1</h1>
<p>Paragraph content goes here</p>
</div>
</section>
<section class="colored-block green">
<div class="container">
<h1>Header 2</h1>
<p>Paragraph content goes here</p>
</div>
</section>
<section class="colored-block blue">
<div class="container">
<h1>Header 3</h1>
<p>Paragraph content goes here</p>
</div>
</section>
</body>
</html>
Here is a jsfiddle
This should help you to understand your problem. 3 section made like red, green ,blue.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 ">
<p class=text-danger> red color</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 ">
<p class=text-success> green color</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 ">
<p class=text-primary> blue color</p>
</div>
</div>
Here is a jsfiddle, 3 columns, full height with background colors.
jsfiddle
CSS:
html,body,.container-fluid
{
height:100%;
}
.container
{
display:table;
width: 100%;
}
.row
{
height: 100%;
display: table-row;
}
.col-md-4, .col-xs-4
{
display: table-cell;
float: none;
}
.red{background:red;}
.green{background:green;}
.blue{background:blue;}
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="red col-xs-4 col-md-4">.col-xs-4 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="blue col-xs-4 col-md-4">.col-xs-4 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="green col-xs-4 col-md-4">.col-xs-4 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
</div>
You can easily achieve full-width coloured sections in Bootstrap by using 'container-fluid' instead of 'container'.
Example:
CSS:
.red{background:red;}
.green{background:green;}
.blue{background:blue;}
HTML:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="red col-xs-12">.col-xs-12 .col-sm-12 .col-md-12 .col-lg-12</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="blue col-xs-12">.col-xs-12 .col-sm-12 .col-md-12 .col-lg-12</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="green col-xs-12">.col-xs-12 .col-sm-12 .col-md-12 .col-lg-12</div>
</div>
</div>
My float works...kind of..however I'm having a problem when resizing my browser. I would like the text to wrap around the div when the screen gets smaller however it's just squishing to the right in a long line of text to the bottom.
Here are some pics.
This is when it's wider
and then this is what it's doing when I resize the browser
my html kind of looks like this
<div class="info">
<div class="userInfo">
<p>info here</p>
<img>
</div>
<div class="bio">
<p>paragraph</p>
<p>paragraph</p>
<p>paragraph</p>
</div>
</div>
and my css looks like this
.userInfo{
float: left;
}
.bio p{
padding-left: 14em;
}
You will have to move your paragraphs inside the same div as the image, and float the actual image. Something like this:http://jsfiddle.net/cLcJu/
As you can see the code is very simple:
<div class="userInfo">
<p>some content above the image</p>
<img src='path_to_image'>
<p>A bunch of content to the right of and underneath the image</p>
</div>
and the css
.userInfo img {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}
This should work:
HTML
<div class="info">
<div class="userInfo">
<p>info here</p>
<img src="image">
<p>paragraph</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.userInfo img { float: left; }
I am using twitter bootstrap, and have a row which has two columns (span6). How do I create a vertical divider between both the spans.
Thanks,
Murtaza
If your code looks like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="span6">
</div>
<div class="span6">
</div>
</div>
Then I'd assume you're using additional DIVS within the "span6" DIVS for holding/styling your content? So...
<div class="row">
<div class="span6">
<div class="mycontent-left">
</div>
</div>
<div class="span6">
<div class="mycontent-right">
</div>
</div>
</div>
So you could simply add some CSS to the "mycontent-left" class to create your divider.
.mycontent-left {
border-right: 1px dashed #333;
}
In Bootstrap 4 there is the utility class border-right which you can use.
So for example you can do:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6 border-right"></div>
<div class="col-6"></div>
</div>
.row.vertical-divider {
overflow: hidden;
}
.row.vertical-divider > div[class^="col-"] {
text-align: center;
padding-bottom: 100px;
margin-bottom: -100px;
border-left: 3px solid #F2F7F9;
border-right: 3px solid #F2F7F9;
}
.row.vertical-divider div[class^="col-"]:first-child {
border-left: none;
}
.row.vertical-divider div[class^="col-"]:last-child {
border-right: none;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="row vertical-divider" style="margin-top: 30px">
<div class="col-xs-6">Hi there</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">Hi world<br/>hi world</div>
</div>
Well here's another option which I've been using for some time now. It works great for me since I mostly need it do visually separate 2 cols. And it's also responsive. Which means that if I have columns next to each other in medium and large screen sizes, then I would use the class col-md-border, which would hide the separator on smaller screen sizes.
css:
#media (min-width: 992px) {
.col-md-border:not(:last-child) {
border-right: 1px solid #d7d7d7;
}
.col-md-border + .col-md-border {
border-left: 1px solid #d7d7d7;
margin-left: -1px;
}
}
In scss you can generate all needed classes probably from this:
scss:
#media(min-width: $screen-md-min) {
.col-md-border {
&:not(:last-child) {
border-right: 1px solid #d7d7d7;
}
& + .col-md-border {
border-left: 1px solid #d7d7d7;
margin-left: -1px;
}
}
}
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-border"></div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-border"></div>
</div>
How it works:
The cols must be inside an element where there are no other cols otherwise the selectors might not work as expected.
.col-md-border:not(:last-child) matches all but the last element before .row close and adds right border to it.
.col-md-border + .col-md-border matches the second div with the same class if these two are next to each other and adds left border and -1px negative margin. Negative margin is why it doesn't matter anymore which column has greater height and the separator will be 1px the same height as the highest column.
It does also have some problems...
When you try to be clever/lazy and use col-XX-X class together with hidden-XX/visible-XX classes inside the same row element.
When you have a lot of columns and need a pixel perfect thing. Since it moves n-1 column 1px to the left.
... But on the other hand it's responsive, works great for simple html and it's easy to create these classes for all bootstrap screen sizes.
To fix the ugly look of a divider being too short when the content of one column is taller, add borders to all columns. Give every other column a negative margin to compensate for position differences.
For example, my three column classes:
.border-right {
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
}
.borders {
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
margin: -1px;
}
.border-left {
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
}
And the HTML:
<div class="col-sm-4 border-right">First</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 borders">Second</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 border-left">Third</div>
Make sure you use #ddd if you want the same color as Bootstrap's horizontal dividers.
If you want a vertical divider between 2 columns, all you need is add
class="col-6 border-left"
to one of your column div-s
BUT
In the world of responsive design, you may need to make it disappear sometimes.
The solution is disappearing <hr> + disappearing <div> + margin-left: -1px;
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-7">
1 of 2
</div>
<div class="border-left d-sm-none d-md-block" style="width: 0px;"></div>
<div class="col-md-5" style="margin-left: -1px;">
<hr class="d-sm-block d-md-none">
2 of 2
</div>
</div>
</div>

tested on Bootstrap 4.1
With Bootstrap 4 you can use borders, avoiding writing other CSS.
border-left
And if you want space between content and border you can use padding. (in this example padding left 4px)
pl-4
Example:
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="row">
<div class="offset-6 border-left pl-4">First</div>
<div class="offset-6 border-left pl-4">Second</div>
</div>
If you are still seeking for the best solution in 2018, I found the way this works perfectly if you have at least one free pseudo element( ::after or ::before ).
You just have to add class to your row like this: <div class="row vertical-divider ">
And add this to your CSS:
.row.vertical-divider [class*='col-']:not(:last-child)::after {
background: #e0e0e0;
width: 1px;
content: "";
display:block;
position: absolute;
top:0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
min-height: 70px;
}
Any row with this class will now have vertical divider between all of the columns it contains...
You can see how this works in this example.
I have tested it. It works fine.
.row.vdivide [class*='col-']:not(:last-child):after {
background: #e0e0e0;
width: 1px;
content: "";
display:block;
position: absolute;
top:0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
min-height: 70px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row vdivide">
<div class="col-sm-3 text-center"><h1>One</h1></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 text-center"><h1>Two</h1></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 text-center"><h1>Three</h1></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 text-center"><h1>Four</h1></div>
</div>
</div>
Must Open in Full Page to See Borders!
Added media width clauses in the CSS so there isn't any nasty borders on the mobile-friendly side of things. Hope this helps! This will resize to the length of the longest column. Tested on .col-md-4 and .col-md-6 and my assumption is it is compatible with the rest. No guarantees though.

Assuming you have a column space, this is an option. Rebalance the columns depending on what you need.

As #WalterV answered above, changed for Bootstrap 5+:
<div class="row">
<div class="offset-6 border-start border-5">First</div>
<div class="offset-6 border-start border-5">Second</div>
</div>
As of bootstrap v4 you can use this code
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6 span6 border-right">
dummy content
</div>
<div class="col-6 span6">
right div content
</div>
</div>
In bootstrap 5 you can use the classes border-start or border-end.
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<div class="container text-center">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6 border-end">
<h3>Column 1</h3>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h3>Column 2</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Also the borders will not be seen in extra small devices.
<style>
.vl {
border-left: 6px solid green;
height: 500px;
}
</style>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title> Vertical Rule </title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="vl"></div>
</body>
</html>
Well what I did was remove the gutter between the respective spans then drawing a left border for the left span and a right border for the right span in such a way that their borders overlapped just to give a single line. This way the visible line will just be one of borders.
CSS
.leftspan
{
padding-right:20px;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.row-fluid .rightspan {
margin-left: -0.138297872340425%;
*margin-left: -0.13191489361702%;
padding-left:20px;
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.row-fluid .rightspan:first-child {
margin-left: -0.11063829787234%;
*margin-left: -0.104255319148938%;
}
HTML
<div class="row-fluid" >
<div class="span8 leftspan" >
</div>
<div class="span4 rightspan" >
</div>
</div>
Try this it works for me
I was looking for a vertical divider in Bootstrap 3.3.7 but they're aren't any by default so I wrote a simple one-line div that did the job for me.
See if it works for you.
<div style="display: inline;border-right: 1px solid gray; padding:0 5px;"></div>
Thank you for reading. Cheers.
Bootstrap V5 introduced the .vr class you place on a <div> element.
If needed, place it inside an <li> element to separate elements inside <ul>element.
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li>Element 1</li>
<li>
<div class="h-100 vr"></div>
</li>
<li>Element 2</li>
</ul>
Note : .navbar-nav class is related to navbars and sets the css property list-style of all children elements to none which is required for the wrapping <li> element to display the vertical rule (separator) correctly.
Use this, 100% guaranteed:-
vr {
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
height: 50px;
border: 0;
border-left: 1px solid #cccccc;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
