I can't figure out how to make the grids to extend to the container's full width no matter how many columns there are
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2 first"></div>
<div class="col-md-9 second"></div>
</div>
</div>
In the example above are displayed 2 columns inline and the .row having full width.Yet if i remove the first div(keeping the exact same code), the second div will change its position to left and will keep the original width.I need it to stretch to the full width of the container.The reason i need this is because i'll have some php conditional expression that will prevent it from showing,in which case i want the template to change and the second div to be full width and position on the middle.
I found an answer with the following CSS which indeed worked but it also messed the responsive structure and i'll have to patch it up till no end probably:
CSS:
.row{
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.first, .second{
display: table-cell;
float: none;
}
.second{
width: 100%;
}
Since i'm a newbie with Bootstrap, i was wondering if there is any built in class which solves this problem? Thank you
In this case, just have the first div as col-2 and the second one as col.
col will be 100% width if col-2 is missing, but if it is there, col will fill the remaining columns.
Check out the Grid system documentation.
I'm not sure why you're using display:table. Just use Bootstrap 4 auto-layout grid, and the second will fill the width if the first is missing/hidden.
"Auto-layout for flexbox grid columns also means you can set the width
of one column and have the sibling columns automatically resize around
it."

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2 first"></div>
<div class="col-md second"></div>
</div>
i have same problem . and you can fix it by set (margin : 0px) for row (by style attribute or id in css file) and set (padding : 0px) for col (by style attribute or id in css file)

one take col-md-4, second col-md-8, but the second with a picture is not 100% width, there are gaps on the left and right sides, could anyone please advise how to remove gaps and make image full size ? Thanks. Here is screenshot
.upperDiv{
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background: red;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.fixed-content {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
object-fit: cover;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row upperDiv">
<div class="col-md-4" style="background: #005AA1;">
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<img src="assets/libled.jpg" class="fixed-content">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Bootstrap put that padding for you to better align your content, you can remove it by inserting p-0 (padding = 0px) class name as I remember
<div class="container">
<div class="row upperDiv">
<div class="col-md-4 p-0" style="background: #005AA1;">
</div>
<div class="col-md-8 p-0">
<img src="assets/libled.jpg" class="fixed-content">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Looking at your HTML, you are using bootstrap's grid system (hinted by the col-md-X classes). The gap you see in your example is caused by the padding applied to the cells of the grid system to create the gutter.
You have two possibilities:
You put the picture as a background instead, since padding is part of the element, the picture will cover this space too.
You remove the gutter.
1 is pretty self explanatory so I'll go straight to two. You can read about the .no-gutter helper class. It needs to be applied to a row and will effectively remove all gutters for the columns in it. But that means you'll loose the gutter on your left column too. You could also remove the padding with a custom class that sets padding-left:0 !important;padding-right:0 !important; This will effectively remove the gutter for the specified column element.
Whatever the option you choose, remember that cols are not meant to be used directly for the styling. They are here to help you create columns in which to put your visual elements. Although I pointed 3 different approaches to your problem, the only "pure" solution is to use the .no-gutter. Others might have weird visual impacts such as making the gutter effectively only half wide (since the left col participates in half the gutter too) and will not look right if there are other columns near it.
I know this is a silly question, but I can't seem to find an answer on the net for this. For bootstrap, I know you use rows and cols to specify the size of the row. But if I have something like this:
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-md-12'></div>
</div>
Is there any point in adding that col-md-12? I would of thought just sticking the row class is enough if you wanted the full length of the row??
Any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Yes, you probaly want the col. Inspect it with your browser's developer tools. You'll see margin /padding and other styling gets applied to .col-* to get things to line up properly.
The .row class primarily provides the "float clearing" that columns provide.
Columns as you know allow for a variety of "grid layout" widths / sizes, and automatically adjust to responsive browser size needs.
Run the snippet below to see the difference (click the "Full Page" link, otherwise it's compressed into a small view). (Note that I've added borders to rows / cols to highlight what's going on):
.row {
border: 1px solid red;
}
[class^="col-"] {
border: 1px solid black;
}
.other {
border: 1px solid blue;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
This is a row with a full-width column.
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
This row has a few smaller column.
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
This row has a few smaller column.
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
This row has a few smaller column.
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
This row has no columns.
</div>
<div class="other">This has no columns nor rows.</div>
</div>
A .row and a .col-X-X are different things. Yes, you will need the column + a row.
If you use Bootstrap 4, you can just use the .col class whereas in Bootstrap 3 you must use .col-X-12 for full width.
From the bootstrap 3 docs
1) Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via padding. That padding is offset in rows for the first and last column via negative margin on .rows.
2) The negative margin is why the examples below are outdented. It's so that content within grid columns is lined up with non-grid content.
If you want your row to be 100% width, then there is no need to have a .col div within your .row div. However, having one is useful if you want the default Bootstrap .col styling to be applied to it (such as padding and margin).
I have added content div in which having two column div as col-md-3 and as col-md-9
In <div class="col-md-3"> in between having tabular panel menu and in tabular menu have one accordion with scroll effect.
With having min-height: 329px !important
When i check on browser with 1366*768 it looks good with same height
for <div class="col-md-3"> and for 2nd div` with same height
but when i change resolution of pc it conflicts
I want same height as per 2nd div having class .col-md-9
please give me solution on that.
display:flex is the correct solution for you apply this property in parent div like this
HTML
<div class="parent">
<div class="col-md-3">
// you content here
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
// you content here
</div>
</div>
CSS
.parent{
display:flex;
}
This will make equal height of elements in .parent.
You can add another class on the divs like this class="col-md-3 sameheight" and class="col-md-9 sameheight" and than style it giving a static height if this is what you want.
.sameheight
{
height: 300px //for example
}
For the responsivnes than you can work with media queries. But also the display: flex for the parent of 2 divs is a good solution if it is applicable to you.
I have done some digging on SO and have found a a variety of resources regarding printing and bootstrap.css, but I have not seen a solution to this particular problem.
Lets say I have a setup like seen in this Plnkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/7ETXQyEvY7S16JTU9wYB?p=preview
and HTML like this:
<div class="col-xs-6 red">
testing
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 blue hidden">
123
</div>
The CSS states that during printing the column will be hidden (on my real page the stle is not hidden but hidden-print), which is expected, but is there anyway to now have the col-xs-6 red now take up the empty space left by the hidden blue column.
I know you could override the style col-xs-6 to be width:100%, but that would affect other columns on the page that need to be left at width: 50%.
Has anyone had this problem before, if so how did you address it?
For Bootstrap 4 you need to do a modification from #Lance's answer.
#media print {
.col-print-12 {
max-width: 100%;
flex: 0 0 100%;
}
}
With the same HTML
<div class="col-xs-6 col-print-12 bg-danger">
Red Column is full width for print
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 hidden-print bg-primary">
Blue Column is hidden for print
</div>
I suggest something like:
#media print {
.col-print-12{
width:100% !important;
}
}
Then your HTML can be:
<div class="col-xs-6 col-print-12 bg-danger">
Red Column is full width for print
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 hidden-print bg-primary">
Blue Column is hidden for print
</div>
!important is needed to override the regular col widths since at least one set will also apply at print width.
I updated your plunk using xs as a proxy for the print view here to demonstrate the concept. One red column in mobile, Red and Blue columns in tablet or bigger.
Edit: if you want to do it with CSS only you would have to use the flex property. Take a look at this pen. Change display: flex to display: none on any column and see how they stretch to fit the available space (this renders bootstrap useless).
Create a div container inside the bootstrap column and apply visibility: hidden to it. You want to hide without removing it, meaning the browser will still show the space that the element occupies.
It's a good practice not to add your own classes to bootstrap columns but instead create a container inside it so you can apply your classes to.
display: none gets rid of the element entirely and affects the positioning of the other elements that were around it.
I'm a beginner in css and I have a little problem. I tested different methods to handle a responsive 4 div grid with css, and I failed.
I want to responsively arrange the 4 divs as an grid with 2 columns and, if the display is to narrow it should be floating to a one column layout.
Here is a sketch of the responsive grid:
Here is a simple responsive grid with 4 div boxes in plain CSS and HTML it aranges from two to one columns when the browser width becomes smaller :
DEMO (resize the result window to see the effect)
Note that the max-width value on the #container is set to 450px so that 2 blocks + their margin can fit by width in two colmuns.
When the widow is smaller than 450px the width of the #container adapts to the window width and as the block can't fit anymore, they rearage to one column.
#container {
text-align: center;
max-width: 450px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.block {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
margin: 10px;
display: inline-block;
background: #00CC99;
}
<div id="container">
<div class="block">1</div>
<div class="block">2</div>
<div class="block">3</div>
<div class="block">4</div>
</div>
You may want to check out Bootstrap, and specifically their Grid System. You can easily accomplish what you want with that. Otherwise, you'd want to look into writing your own CSS Media Queries to handle the different screen sizes.
Here's a JSFiddle showing how this can be achieved using Bootstrap. Just drag the side of the Result container to make it smaller and you can see the blocks shift. This may need some tweaking but it should get you going.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-2 col-sm-offset-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="block">1</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="block">2</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 col-sm-offset-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="block">3</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-12">
<div class="block">4</div>
</div>
</div>
In the above code, I'm creating a Bootstrap Grid which uses 12 columns. You can specify the column width at different screen sizes, for example the class col-sm-2 is saying use 2/12ths of the width for small screen sizes, then offset it 3 to center it. col-xs-12 says to use the full width for extra small screen sizes (essentially moving each block to its own row for extra small screens). Note the row class as well which is also Bootstrap specific.
Hopefully this helps!
Bootstrap is a great tool to do this as the above answerer said. Bootstrap allows you to position items in a grid layout (as you want).
Another way to do this is create media queries in css that will take effect when the browser has a smaller or larger min-width.
I recommend using Bootstrap as all of the heavy lifting is done for you and you would just have to make small tweaks to ensure it looks like you want it to.
