I've searched on google and this site for answers on how to vertically align columns to be centered. I've found entries with this exact title but none of them work, they all show how to align horizontally. Even the bootply's etc. links to examples which centers horizontally and not vertically.
I've followed the guide on bootstraps official site, and it is telling me to just use the class align-items-center on the row, or adding align-content-center on the column, but these doesn't work for me at all, I get no response.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
This is the guide I used: http://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/#alignment
And I am using the latest bootstrap v4.0.0.beta-2.
Example from my code:
<div class="container">
<div class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-3"><span>test</span></div>
</div>
</div>
Expected result: Column with the text "test" should be located vertically centered on my page.
Actual result: Text is showing in the left upper corner of the page.
Bootstrap row will contain flex property. With that only we can able to use flex properties for child divs. But here in your example you haven't used row class or d-flex class in your code.
I suggest you to add row into your code..
<div class="container">
<div class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-3"><span>test</span></div>
</div>
</div>
Now your code will center the text vertically, But within the container height. It won't be center to your html page.
Vertical Center: JS Fiddle
To make Your text to center of your page, make row div to full height 100vh

I am currently trying to learn the Bootstrap grid system. I have the following html code that attempts to simply make a row with three columns:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">
left column
</div>
<div class="col-4">
middle column
</div>
<div class="col-4">
right column
</div>
</div>
</div>
I believe this should just create three columns that align horizontally (fill up the same row), however, in Chrome, they stack vertically. Anyone know why?
Maybe a silly reply but have you checked that you have the css file correctly coming through?
row is automatically flex and col-4 is correct for 3 wide.
I cannot help but think the css file is in place.
Open up inspect element on the row element and you should see css like:
display:flex;
So imagine a bootstrap column full of elements (divs, paragraphs, links.. ) how do I space those elements equally inside that column, like space-between alignment or space-around. I don't want margins or padding. I want elements to automatically equally space around the free space vertically inside a column.
In the documentation for flex everything seems to be focused on rows and what little there is for columns it's aligning elements inside a column horizontally.
Any ideas how I can get the desired effect?
The solution could be adding flex positioning to your column as well. So you can add those additional classes that are provided by bootstrap.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col d-flex flex-column justify-content-between">
<!-- Here comes your content -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
Since you want to evenly space the element is the y axis, you need to add flex-column. Also remember you can nest any number of flex boxes inside another.
I have:
<div id="root" class="container-fluid">
<div>
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col">
<form>
and the form (which is small widthwise) is not centering. If I add a number to the col div (ie. col-4) then the small column will be centered but the form left-justified within it and starts wrapping weirdly in a small viewport. Moving the justify-... part to the col didn't do anything either.
How am I supposed to go about centering that form element?
I had to include the form-inline class on the form and put the justify-content class on the form as well. the justify class didn't need to go anywhere else.
I have a web template that I am using with a top and left nav and I want to have the three column elements left aligned. Even in a simple example, the columns want to be center aligned.
Can anyone tell me how to get the columns to snuggle up to the left margin?
*disclaimer - I am Learning Bootstrap so my ability to answer this myself is probably limited by my Bootstrap vocabulary.
I tried searching a bunch of different ways and settle don this as the most relevant search query:
bootstrap left align columns -nav -navbar
That search produced this answer, but it didn't seem to solve my problem, or I didn't do it right.
I have created a bootply that simulates my problem so if anyone wants to try it out, they can.
You can left align the container as described in this question, or simply use a full-width container-fluid, and then only use a portion of the 12 Bootstrap columns, for example 8 columns..
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
.. page layout here
</div>
</div>
</div>

On smaller screens you'd probably want the layout to be full-width instead of left aligned.
in your main div (page-wrapper), change the class from container, to container-fluid.
<div id="page-wrapper" class="container-fluid">
and you should see those elements all with left alignment.
I have an issue with my CSS layout
I have a form that is contained in a 500 pixel fixed width. It is set to be centered in the page with margin auto;
Inside that div I made a table using div's. Since each div's that act as a table row have different height, I have used the overflow:hidden property. I did that to minimize the size of the form.
Inside that div I have 3 other divs that act like table data "td". They are floating inside the row.
What I am trying to achieve is to display another div on top of them all when there is an error in the form. Just like the one you see on Stackoverflow reminding you that you have code in your text that need to be set as code. The red div on the right. Now I am a bit stuck because I can't overflow that div to the sides.
So what other option do i have to set the height of the "row" div without using overflow:hidden. I dont want to use tables and the content is always changing.
Any solution is welcome.
Here is simple code so you get the picture;
<div class="row">
<div class="overflowing"></div>
<div class="float_left"></div><div class="float_left"></div> <div class="float_right"></div>
</div>
The overflowing div should not push the floating divs around and is not visible until I change it's property and fill it with content.
Use clearfix class with row if you are using bootstrap
<div class="row clearfix">
OR
<div class="clearfix"></div>
before end of row tag
If it is not using bootstrap
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
before end of row tag
`
<div class="float_left"></div><div class="float_left"></div> <div class="float_right"></div>
</div>`
I think it will work, and about the alternative to overflow use fixed height width thenoverflow:auto wolud be useful
