This works fine, makes the button size 4
<div class="col-xs-4">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-primary">Like</button>
</div>
But the following doesn't work:
<div>
<button class="col-xs-4 btn btn-block btn-primary">Like</button>
</div>
Which doesn't make sense to me, since I thought the div was just a container and its styles/ classes are passed down to its elements.
col-xs-4 sets the current element's width to approximately 33% and btn-block sets the current element's width to 100%.
In this code parent element's width (div) is 33% (because of col-xs-4) and child element's width is 100% (because of btn-block).
<div class="col-xs-4">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-primary">Like</button>
</div>
In the next code, parent div's display is block and its width changes according to what is inside of it. And in child element (Button) it has both col-xs-4 and btn-block classes, but btn-block sets width:100% and disables col-xs-4 (width:33%) effect.
<div>
<button class="col-xs-4 btn btn-block btn-primary">Like</button>
</div>
If you remove btn-block you'll see col-xs-4 just works fine and sets width:33%
<div>
<button class="col-xs-4 btn btn-primary">Like</button>
</div>
I've created a fiddle for you.
In your first example, the div is given class "col-xs-4" and will therefore not change in size depending on what is inside the div.
In your second example, the div is not given any class and will therefore change in size, depending on what is inside the div.
The reason your second example doesn't work is because of your other classes also changes the button size. By reading the "col-xs-4" class first, the size is overruled by one of the other classes.
you can not apply col-xs-* or any with buttons but if you want to adjust the size of your button the refer this ->

I have three buttons and I want them to be on the same line, take all the space and every button has to be the same size.
And as soon as the window is too small to show every button at at least 170px width, I want every button to have their own line and take 100% of it.
I remember seeing websites that have navigation bars which work somewhat like this..
This is what my code currently looks like:
<div class="modal-body">
<button style="min-width:33%;width:170px" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-group">Button A</button><span></span>
<button style="min-width:33%;width:170px" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-group">Button B</button><span></span>
<button style="min-width:33%;width:170px" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-group">Button C</button>
</div>
The first part seems to work fine, but when the window gets too small, the buttons don't take 100% width on their line:
Is there a bootstrap way to achieve that? Or is a css hack necessary?
I would rewrite the HTML to look like this.
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4 col-sm-12">
<button style="width:100%" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-group">Button A</button>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-sm-12">
<button style="width:100%" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-group">Button A</button>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-sm-12">
<button style="width:100%" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-group">Button A</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You will need to add a media query to css
button{
width: 170px
}
#media (max-width: 540px){
button{
width: 100%;
}
}
For best results add a parent class to button
if you are using Bootstrap then you should be able to use the 'col' CSS selector
you should be able to apply a container (or row) class depending how much of the screen you want to fill, then apply 'col-md-4 col-sm-12' (depending on the breakpoint you want it to go 100%) to all the buttons you shouldn't write the CSS inline like the example above use the bootstrap classes...

I am using Bootstrap and I came across the following error in displaying some buttons:
The HTML code is the following:
<div class="row" style="margin-top: 20px">
<div class="col-lg-6 text-left">
<button class="btn btn-primary profile-button">Save</button>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 text-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary profile-button">Reset</button>
</div>
</div>
The CSS for the custom class is:
.profile-button {
min-width: 125px;
}
The error only occurs when I am resizing the browser width. The screenshot attached is when the browser has half the width of the monitor (so 540px, given my resolution). I believe the display error starts at the 768px width value. The resolution I am currently using is 1920x1080.
I've tried wrapping the row inside a container div and also inside of a div that had both container and container-fluid classes.
Just add col-xs-6 class to both div
<div class="row" style="margin-top: 20px">
<div class="col-lg-6 col-xs-6 text-left">
<button class="btn btn-primary profile-button">Save</button>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 col-xs-6 text-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary profile-button">Reset</button>
</div>
</div>
DEMO
Bootstrap Grid
Bootstrap puts columns one under the other on smaller devices... It's likely that your columns are becoming full width and stacking, instead of staying at half the size. This is the standard behaviour.
If the buttons must remain side by side, I would recommend using your own classes and floating them, ensuring the max-width is 50%
I've this Bootstrap HTML markup:
<div class="container">
<div class="field col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-block btn-primary">Large button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">X</button>
</div>
</div>
I would like the large button to fill the column (col-md-6), therefore I've used btn-block. But I would like the X button to float right in the same line, taking a bit of the width of the Large button.
The X button should stay small, and the Large button should fill up the rest of the width.
How can I do that?
See my JSFiddle.
You'll want to use input groups to keep everything together.
http://getbootstrap.com/components/#input-groups
Extend form controls by adding text or buttons before, after, or on
both sides of any text-based . Use .input-group with an
.input-group-addon to prepend or append elements to a single
.form-control.
Buttons in input groups are a bit different and require one extra
level of nesting. Instead of .input-group-addon, you'll need to use
.input-group-btn to wrap the buttons. This is required due to default
browser styles that cannot be overridden.
Here is the modification I made to your fiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/oayw7uhh/5/
All you need to do is surround both elements with a input-group-div
Then, wrap the X button in a span with the class input-group-btn.
https://jsfiddle.net/dennismadsen/oayw7uhh/
Your finished code is
<div class="container">
<div class="field col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<div class="input-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-block btn-primary">Large button</button>
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">X</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
My code looks like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<a class="btn btn-default btn-block" href="#">1</a>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<a class="btn btn-default btn-block" href="#">2</a>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<a class="btn btn-default btn-block" href="#">3</a>
</div>
</div>
This gives me 3 buttons across which is what I want. What I would like to do is make the buttons taller. If at all possible I'd prefer not to specify heights in pixels so that it can scale to different screen sizes better. Could I perhaps specify the height as a ratio (of the width) or a percentage of screen height?
Thanks in advance.
The simple & best solution would be to add top and bottom padding.
.btn-block {
padding: 10% 0;
/* define values in pixels / Percentage or em. whatever suits
your requirements */
}
Use Bootstrap padding property p-. Documentation
<a class="btn btn-default btn-block p-3" href="#">1</a>
Actually, just use py-4 as an extra class on your button.
py-# adds padding on top and bottom at the same time, and you can choose how much by changing the number (I think the max is 4, but I might be wrong).
You can check all the options here (it works at least from Bootstrap 4 onwards).
I have a form with an input and a button, styled with bootstrap.
I am using grid colums to give the input and the button their own width.
But it seems to change the input's width, I have to assign the col-* class to the div surrounding the input, whereas the button can receive the class on itself.
This ends up with the input not using the width I was hoping to give it.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<form name="search" role="search">
<div class="form-group col-sm-10 col-xs-12">
<input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" placeholder="Hey"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg col-sm-2 col-xs-12" type="submit">
Search
</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Here is a jsfiddle where I added a line on the page as a reference to show up to where the input should go on the left. As you make the fiddle window smaller, the button goes under the input and reaches a full lenght, but the input still has a gap on both sides.
It is because the column classes are meant to wrap the elements and give them structure. If you give your button those classes, it will give that element the full width instead of the typical padding.
I moved the column classes onto the form-group instead and made a simple class called .btn-full that sets the width: 100%; and it achieves what you want.
http://jsfiddle.net/SXus5/
If you want the button to be the full width of the container, just add the class 'btn-block' to it. Any inputs inside of a form group will automatically expand to fill their container. Instead of adding the .col classes to the form group, add it to a div the form is contained in.
Here's a modified version of your jsfiddle with the input, button and line all the same width.
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">Search</button>
