I am trying to make a simple example where I have a row and inside that row is columns. One column is for the name of the left-hand side and on the right-hand side is the three buttons that exist. However, I am having issues placing the buttons properly on the right side as well as spacing them at an appropriate distance. I tried using the max-width in my CSS but I just ended up screwing up the project even more. Below is my HTML/CSS file:
#submitGPBtn {
margin-right: 30px;
}
<div class="row">
<div>
<h4> Group Pattern Test</h4>
</div>
<div class="mx-auto">
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</div>
<div class="mx-auto">
<button class="btn btn-primary">Close</button>
</div>
<div class="ml-auto">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="submitGPBtn">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
You would want to use a btn-toolbar to group your buttons in-line.
#submitGPBtn {
margin-right: 30px;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
Group Pattern Test
</div>
<div class="col">
<div class="btn-toolbar">
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Close</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="submitGPBtn">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This question has been answered well here. But here's an example below, add float-right class to your button bar, you can put a breakpoint in the class like float-sm-right but float-right works on any viewport width.
#submitGPBtn {
margin-right: 30px;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
Group Pattern Test
</div>
<div class="col">
<div class="btn-toolbar float-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Close</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="submitGPBtn">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
In bootstrap ml-auto is fine to align buttons to the right, but you should apply it only to the first item after the "offset".
I added ml-1 to space the other buttons and a lightyellow background just to show where the container ends.
My personal suggestion when you use bootstrap is to code inside a container, you can't set its size to what you want but it prevents stretching in wide monitors.
.container {
background-color: lightyellow;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col text-left">
<h4> Group Pattern Test</h4>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-success ml-auto">Save</button>
<button class="btn btn-success ml-1">Close</button>
<button class="btn btn-success ml-1" id="submitGPBtn">Submit</button>
</div>

Hi guys using bootstrap and struggling to understand how to get a my main div box to have other divs inside of it
For example i am trying to make this:
This big box is just a div.
What i got so far:
<div class="container">
<div class="MainBox">
<div class="Leftbox">
<h3>Box</h3>
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-responsive">P</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-responsive">B</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-responsive">L</button>

</div>
</div>
</div>
I am not so sure how to do the boxes on the right hand side , i have tried different methods but it mucks up the whole div. Any help would be great. Thanks xx
You really want to look into Bootstraps grid system, as suggested by #Sringland in his comments, found here: Bootstrap Docs
The grid system creates 12 columns on any screen size (from xtra small - large), and can be defined as a class by col-(screensize)-(span). For example - if you want 12 columns spanning a large sized screen add the class: col-lg-12 to your div.
These columns are "embeddable", and will create a new 12-column layout inside one another. So if you want to split up an 8 column layout into two equal sized containers within it, it would like like this:
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="col-md-6"> </div>
<div class="col-md-6"> </div>
</div>
So remember, each time you "open" a column regardless of its size, that container will have another 12 columns to work with.
After all this is said, your layout will look something like this:
<div class="row height-500px">
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3 border height-500px">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-7 border height-500px">
<!-- CONTENT GOES HERE -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-2 height-500px">
<div class="col-md-12 height-125px border">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-12 height-125px border">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-12 height-125px border">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-12 height-125px border">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a link to a Bootply to see it in action. Please see the bootply for a better understanding of the height classes and border classes. I created these simply to represent your layout.
Now, gutters (the space between the columns) are not working as intended, and I hope someone help there. But, hopefully this will be a good starting point for you.
Jus try using bootstrap grid system. I used buttons for the right column, but you can use whatever you need.
<div class="container MainBox border-on">
<div class="col-md-2 left border-on">
<h3>Box</h3>
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-responsive">P</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-responsive">B</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-responsive">L</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-responsive">R</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-responsive">T</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-responsive">F</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8 CentreBox border-on">
<h3>
center
</h3>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2 right border-on">
<h3>
right
</h3>
<div class="col-md-12">
One
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
Two
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
Three
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">

I am building a responsive calendar that has full-width buttons on it (events), and it shows extra info with the collapse component under it. But the button keeps appearing superimposed so it doesn't display the info correctly...
This is one of my event buttons:
<!--Event 1-->
<div class="div-event col-md-6">
<span class="date-event col-xs-2 col-md-1"><span class="num-date-event">22</span><br>SEP</span>
<button class="btn btn-event btn-block col-xs-8 col-md-4" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-1">Kate's Super Party<br>at her house</button>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-gift icon-event col-xs-2 col-md-1" aria-hidden="true"><span class="text-event"><br>PARTY</span></span>
<div class="collapse" id="collapse-1">
<div class="well">
Hi, I'm a collapsable well that shows something but I can't be seen because of the weird css I have!
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
I have tried using margin-top and position but it hasn't worked.
Is there a way to "separate" the collapse from the parent row? Or any other way to do it?
Here is the full calendar: https://jsfiddle.net/mrndrmrj/16/
In following span add margin-bottom:10px
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-gift icon-event col-xs-2 col-md-1" aria-hidden="true"><span class="text-event"><br>PARTY</span></span>
Well, I found that the problem was grouping the event with the collapsable "well", so putting the well outside the div-event made it work!
This is one of the events corrected:
<!--Event 1-->
<div class="div-event">
<span class="date-event col-xs-2 col-md-2"><span class="num-date-event">22</span><br>SEP</span>
<button class="btn btn-event btn-block col-xs-8 col-md-8" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-1">Kate's Super Party<br>at her house</button>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-gift icon-event col-xs-2 col-md-2" aria-hidden="true"><span class="text-event"><br>PARTY</span></span>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<div class="collapse" id="collapse-1">
<div class="well">
Hi, I'm a collapsable well that shows something and now I can be seen, but not the last two guys.
</div>
</div>
And this is the updated fiddle with the first two events corrected and the last two wrong so you can see the difference...

I am trying to place my elements inside a bootstrap row (inside columns) to fit my needs, however, I faced with problems. The column width is 97px approx. for large screens.
What should I do, to place inside such a column a control element (date picker or button) that oversizes the column width? The only options is to override standard bootstrap styles (generate new css) or merge several columns? What other options do I have?
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-1">
<input type="checkbox" /> /* How han I change the margine between elements?*/
<div class="arrow-down">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<!--- Date Time Picker control-->
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="glyphicon glyphicon-time">7 h 49 min</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-md btn-block">Add work time</button>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-md btn-block">Add break</button>
</div>
</div>
You may add styles within <style> in the header section of your html, after the link to the bootstrap css, or use inline styles.
I am building a form in Twitter Bootstrap but I'm having issues with centering the button below the input in the form. I have already tried applying the center-block class to the button but that didn't work. How should I fix this?
Here is my code.
<!-- Button -->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="singlebutton"></label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<button id="singlebutton" name="singlebutton" class="btn btn-primary center-block">
Next Step!
</button>
</div>
</div>
Wrap the Button in div with "text-center" class.
Just change this:
<!-- wrong -->
<div class="col-md-4 center-block">
<button id="singlebutton" name="singlebutton" class="btn btn-primary center-block">Next Step!</button>
</div>
To this:
<!-- correct -->
<div class="col-md-4 text-center">
<button id="singlebutton" name="singlebutton" class="btn btn-primary">Next Step!</button>
</div>
Edit
As of BootstrapV4, center-block was dropped #19102 in favor of m-*-auto
According to the Twitter Bootstrap documentation: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#helper-classes-center
<!-- Button -->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="singlebutton"></label>
<div class="col-md-4 center-block">
<button id="singlebutton" name="singlebutton" class="btn btn-primary center-block">
Next Step!
</button>
</div>
</div>
All the class center-block does is to tell the element to have a margin of 0 auto, the auto being the left/right margins. However, unless the class text-center or css text-align:center; is set on the parent, the element does not know the point to work out this auto calculation from so will not center itself as anticipated.
See an example of the code above here: https://jsfiddle.net/Seany84/2j9pxt1z/
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="text-center">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="singlebutton"> Next Step!</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
add to your style:
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="col-sm-12 text-center">
<button class="btn btn-primary" title="Submit"></button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" title="Cancel"></button>
</div>
</div>
You can do it by giving margin or by positioning those elements absolutely.
For example
.button{
margin:0px auto; //it will center them
}
0px will be from top and bottom and auto will be from left and right.
I tried the following code and it worked for me.
<button class="btn btn-default center-block" type="submit">Button</button>
The button control is in a div and using center-block class of bootstrap helped me to align the button to the center of div
Check the link where you will find the center-block class
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#helper-classes-center
use text-align: center css property
Update for Bootstrap 4:
Wrap the button with a div set with the 'd-flex' and 'justify-content-center' utility classes to take advantage of flexbox.
<!-- Button -->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="d-flex justify-content-center">
<button id="singlebutton" name="singlebutton" class="btn btn-primary">
Next Step!
</button>
</div>
</div>
The benefit of using flexbox is being able to add additional elements/buttons on the same axis, but with their own separate alignment. It also opens up the possibility of vertical alignment with the 'align-items-start/center/end' classes, too.
You could wrap the label and button with another div to keep them aligned with each other.
e.g. https://codepen.io/anon/pen/BJoeRY?editors=1000
You can do the following. It also avoids buttons overlapping.
<div class="center-block" style="max-width:400px">
Accept
Reject
</div>
It works for me
try to make an independent <div>then put the button into that.
just like this :
<div id="contactBtn">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary ">Send</button>
</div>
Then Go to to your CSSStyle page and do the Text-align:center like this :
#contactBtn{text-align: center;}
For Bootstrap 3
we divide the space with the columns, we use 8 small columns (col-xs-8), we leave 4 empty columns (col-xs-offset-4) and we apply the property (center-block)
<!--Footer-->
<div class="modal-footer">
<div class="col-xs-8 col-xs-offset-4 center-block">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Enviar</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" data-dismiss="modal">Cerrar</button>
</div>
</div>
For Bootstrap 4
We use Spacing, Bootstrap includes a wide range of abbreviated and padded response margin utility classes to modify the appearance of an element.
The classes are named using the format {property}{sides}-{size} for xs and {property}{sides}-{breakpoint}-{size} for sm, md, lg, and xl.
more info here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/utilities/spacing/
<!--Footer-->
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary ml-auto">Enviar</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger mr-auto" data-dismiss="modal">Cerrar</button>
</div>
I had this problem. I used
<div class = "col-xs-8 text-center">
On my div containing a few h3 lines, a couple h4 lines and a Bootstrap button.
Everything besides the button jumped to the center after I used text-center so I went into my CSS sheet overriding Bootstrap and gave the button a
margin: auto;
which seems to have solved the problem.
or you can give specific offsets to make button position where you want simply with bootstrap grid system,
<div class="col-md-offset-4 col-md-2 col-md-offset-5">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-block" value="submit"/>
this way, also let you specify button size if you set btn-block.
sure, this will only work md size range, if you want to set other sizes too, use xs,sm,lg.
