I have the following layout:
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
...
</nav>
<div class="jumbotron">
...
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">...</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Navbar and header take up 100% of the screen width. However, the columns don't - huge empty margins remain near the left and right edges of the screen.
If I remove the container div everything takes up 100% of the space and it works fine by me, but I'm not sure if it's a good practice since in alll examples container is used. Also, I want to make the columns take up all the space to the end of the page and not sure if container is necessary to accomplish it.
Per the Bootstrap documentation, a container is required. You can use container-fluid instead of container if you want full-width containers. You can find this in the Bootstrap 3 documentation here:
http://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#grid
You can find info about this in the Bootstrap 4 documentation here:

I just want to be sure about some basic HTML structuring.
Most HTML page body layouts start with a <div class="container"> which of course contains all the HTML in with boostrap v4 it contains rows and columns.
All nice and easy there.
My question is, am I "correct" or not to place columns and rows within separate containers?
This is what I mean:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
Some Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
Some Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
Some Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- end body -->
I think the answer to my question is that "it is ok" because for example what happens if you want a full-page width div container then you'd use a separate container for those elements.
I just want to be sure, thanks!
As per your example, if the content has to be inside the container, then using multiple containers is redundant. Use a single container and then separate the rows.
This approach also depends heavily on the design.
Full page width div, YES, the separate container is correct.
Note : For full width
Use container-fluid for full width, and remove the padding as well.
container-fluid class has padding-left : 15px and padding-right: 15px.
You can remove it to cover the div end to end. You can use pl-0 and pr-0, classes provided by bootstrap to set padding-left and padding-right to 0, respectively.
Why is the fluid-container overlapping like that, but others don't?
Is that correct, or am I missing something? Looks wrong to me.
<nav class="nav flex-column float-left">
{links}
</nav>
<div class="container-fluid"><!-- overlapping -->
<div class="row"><!-- fine -->
<div class="col"><!-- fine -->
<main role="main"><!-- fine -->
{content}
</main>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Edit: Just for you to know: I want to achieve a static left sidebar/nav with a fixed width (see image). Everything on the right is main content. That's why I didn't used col-1 (nav) and col-11 (main). Hope this helps :-)
Give your sidenav a fixed width and set a padding-left (same amount of sidebar width)
Here is an example:

So I want the following layout:
Here is an artists mock-up:
But here is what I ended up with after trying for quite a few days:
I need help to make the last elements line up right. If I use the wrong components you are free to change them. The site needs to be mobile friendly. I have made a fiddle here.
.
I also seem to have the issue of being unable to scroll vertically on the page if overflow occurs.
In bootstrap 3 seems a simple layout like this (just a suggestion)
<div class='container-fluid'>
<div class='navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top'> .... <(div>
</div> <!-- end container full width -->
<div class='container'><!-- begin container center margin auto -->
<div class=' col-md-12'><img src='yourlink'></div>
<div class=' col-md-12' ><h1>Title</h1></div>
<div class='jumbotron col-md-12' </div>
<div class='row col-md-12>
<div class='col-md-6>
... content for left lower box
</div>
<div class='col-md-6'>
<div> content for r2ght lower 1 box</div>
<div> content for right lower 2 box</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- end of container --!>
with a background image
I want an image to stay exactly on the left side of the screen(fix it to the left side). I want the image to "start" from the screen's side. I managed to do this with
position:fixed; left: -15px;
and it works from the viewpoint of the image, it starts at the screen's left side exactly on every screen I tested.
BUT it ruins other things, namely the text on the same row will be on top of the picture, AND if I decrease the windows/screen size it will become more of a mess with the text.
What's a better solution?
My code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3" id="swoosh">
<img class="img-responsive" src="img/img1.png">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h1>Title of the website</h1>
<p class="lead">Use this document as a way to quickly start any new project.<br> All you get is this text and a mostly barebones HTML document.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<img class="img-responsive" src="img/logo.png">
</div>
</div>
I want the first picture, so img1.png to be on the left, the title should be in the middle, and the logo.png on the right. The second image, the logo.png doesn't need to be fixed to the right, just img1 to the left.
I tried to provide the all the info you need, but I'm new here so please tell me if there's anything more you need!
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Added fiddles.
As you can see, the black image does not start at the screen's left side exactly here:
http://www.bootply.com/bGJhH27MQO
The next fiddle shows you how the black image should be positioned, but it ruins the site:

Actually, your html almost works. As you found out, using a fixed position within Bootstrap's grid system doesn't work very well.
Rather than trying to fix the <div> to the left edge, you should try fixing the image to the left edge. You don't need to use absolute positioning to do it. You can use a negative margin-left value to shift the image to the left. See updated code below
#swoosh {
margin-left: -15px;
}
<div class='container-fluid'>
<div class="row outerDiv">
<div class="col-xs-3 col-md-2 imageDiv" >
<img class="img-responsive" id="swoosh" ...
The actual value of the margin-left value is a little fuzzy. The value of -15px is to offset the padding-left value in the Bootstrap's col-xxxx classes. You will need to adjust the the value to meet your needs.
I've created a working version at JSBin
Okay, you have the row element within a container - so unless you use negative margins you won't be able to move the element the whole way across. You could place that row within a container-fluid element which will remove the restrictions on the location but it would stretch the element the whole width of the screen
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar navbar-default">
<p>Navbar Code Here</p>
</div>
</div><!-- /.container -->
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3" id="swoosh">
<img class="img-responsive" src="http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/7/71/Black.png">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h1>Title of the website</h1>
<p class="lead">Use this document as a way to quickly start any new project.<br> All you get is this text and a mostly barebones HTML document.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<img class="img-responsive" src="http://globe-views.com/dcim/dreams/red/red-01.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
You can then remove the padding on that left image by applying
#swoosh {padding-left: 0;}
to your css.
If you need to change the alignment of the columns in responsive views, you should start taking a look at http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-example-mixed-complete to change the layout at the viewport reduces - perhaps using col-xs-6 etc to achieve the alignment you are after
I need to divide the browser window into two fluid rows so that regardless of size, they are stretched across the screen. In the first row i need to add different columns which should be centered automatically. Basically it looks like this:
The problem is that I can not center cols in first row and rows are not stretch to the browser height. My code looks like this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row" style="text-align:center">
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-1</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-1</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-1">.col-md-1</div>
</div>
</div>
You can use offset to center div
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-offset-3 col-md-3">.col-md-1</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-1</div>
</div>
</div>
And you can change padding for ajust space between blocs.
See on fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/JtzE6/
Also take a look at the Alignment Classes on twitter bootstrap documentation (Twitter Bootstrap Documentation). You should be able to apply these to any element tag in html. It worked for me.. Hope this helps..
