So basically I have something like
<div class="col-xs-3">
stuff
</div>
and I want it to change to something like
<div class="col-xs-8 col-xs-offset-2">
stuff
</div
So I essentially want to take a div that's placed on the left and move it to the center and widen the column size when the viewport width is <768px. How can I do this?
Check the grid documentation from their site.
You can define multiple classes for the different breakpoints. If I understand you correctly you need something like this:
<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-8 col-xs-offset-2">stuff</div>
This translates to: 3 columns on small devices (>= 768px) and 8 columns + 2 offset columns for extra small devices (< 768px). They also have col-md and col-lg- classes.

Hi y'all I'm trying to understand why my columns are stacking on top of each other instead of being side by side.
Here's a screenshot of my page: Everything above the shopping cart I want to be to the right of the main page content like a side bar but I'm struggling to make that happen
And here is my html
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8">
<app-grocery-sidebar></app-grocery-sidebar>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8">
<recipes></recipes>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The bootstrap grid system has 12 columns per row. If the total number of columns is greater than 12, then the spare columns will wrap into the next row.
In your example, for small screens you have 2 x col-sm-9 classes, which makes a total of 18 columns. For medium screens you have 2 x col-md-6 classes, which makes a total of 12 columns, so it should work fine for this screen size, each column should have the same width. For large screens you have 2 x col-lg-8 classes, which makes a total of 16 columns.
You need to decide what % of the screen you want your sidebar to take up on large screens. For example, say you want it to take 25% of the screen, then you should give col-lg-3 to the sidebar and col-lg-9 to the recipes. If you want this to be the case on all screen sizes, then use col-3 and col-9 respectively.
If you want to give 33% of the screen to you sidebar, then you should use col-lg-4 and col-lg-8 respectively.
col-lg-2and col-lg-10 will give 16.6% of the screen to the sidebar and 83.3% of the screen to the recipes.
col-md-6 for both, will give each element equal width of the screen on medium sized screens.
If you want all columns to take up equal space, you can also just use the col class on each element.

I'm currently developing a Login/Register page but I need help with the columns. The page currently looks like this on desktop 1920x180: http://prntscr.com/cl4ms8
I am using <div class="col-xs-6"> on both of the forms so they are evenly split on the page. How would I go across making it so it will be responsive on all devices as it currently looks like this on an iPhone 6: http://prntscr.com/cl4ndb
Bootstrap ships with 4 tiers of grids, which have class prefixes of;
.col-xs- , (<768px)
.col-sm- , (≥768px)
.col-md- , (≥992px)
.col-lg- , (≥1200px)
If you've applied a column class of "col-xs-6" what you are saying is that from 0px to 767px i want this column to be 50% of the containers width. And unless you add another class for the next grid tier, it will continue to be 50% of the parent on wider screens as well. So not only up to 768px but beyond unless you add another class.
Your problem here is that most mobiles are simply too narrow to show two columns for this purpose. So change "col-xs-6" to "col-xs-12". And add "col-sm-6" as well.
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6">
That will mean that from 768px and up, the columns wil be 50%.
The reason why the layout looks broken though is probably because your input's have a width or min-width that is greater than the 50% width of the container and are therefore wider than the column grid they are nested in.
You elements with the col-xx-n classes need to be children or descendants of an element with the class container-fluid.
So, this will be responsive:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="col-md-4">This div takes up 1/3 of the available width on a desktop</div>
<div class="col-md-8">This div takes up 2/3 of the available width on a desktop</div>
</div>
Use bootstap's class col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 for both main div of login and registration is and you can reffer the site http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid and http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms
example:
<div class="container-fluid">///or container
<div id="login" class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
///your login form
</div>
<div id="registration" class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
///your registration form
</div>
</div>
Use a bootstrap grid: http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/layout/grid/ (that's the v4 documentation, but v3 (the standard) works the same and v4 documentation is better). See also w3schools' tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_grid_basic.asp
What is the difference in between below two methods?
Method #1
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12">
</div>
Method #2
<div class="col-md-12">
</div>
I'm using the second method and it works for all small and large devices perfectly then when do i need the first method?
This is a good question. I see a few others have answered it already, but I'd like to go a little bit more in depth in case you're curious.
In method 2, you're specifically saying "I want this container to take up the full 12 at 970px and above. Since it's a full 12, though, it will retain the full-width 12 all the way down to the smallest resolution. If, however, you had two col-md-6's, the 6's would become 12's when the screen goes below 970px due to the use of md.
In your first method, you're explicitly stating that you want the column to be the full 100% at all the breakpoints.
To answer your question "Why do I need the first method?", you simply don't. The first method is overkill since bootstrap will make them all 100% by default anyways. The only reason you would want to use something like the first method is if you want to show the content in different layouts at different resolutions.
For example:
<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-3">
</div>
This would make the column a 3 at all resolutions 992px and above (because of the md). By default, bootstrap would make the column a full 12 below 992px using the col-md-3 class but with the declaration of col-sm-6, you're overwriting it and making it a 6 on all resolutions between 768px and 992px. Everthing below 768px (col-xs-*) would still make the column a full 12. You could overwrite this by declaring a 'col-xs-*' class just as you did with the 'col-sm-6'
If a smaller resolution is not explicitly stated, it's going to be a 12. Anything you declare will apply to that resolution and above with the exception of the xs. xs will declare 768px and below.
Here is the official bootstrap documentation to show the grid options and their associated resolutions:
https://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-options
Here's a bootply to help visualize this:
http://www.bootply.com/c0KgRryXcl
I hope that helps!
You won't notice a difference with col-md-12 as it's the full width of the container, but if you had 2 col-md-6's, they would look squished together on a small device, hence why you'd use col-xs-12, then the breakpoint would kick in and it would change from 50% to 100%.
The first method is useful if you want to change your proportions of divs when on a smaller device.
For example, you may have the following
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-6">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-6">
</div>
</div>
So on a small device, instead of each occupy half of the width (which will be small), the two columns will be stacking up
These classes are used for different devices resolution. your first method includes all devices like mobile , laptops, desktops and larger and second method includes only desktop.
This are grid classes in bootstrap,
xs (for phones)
sm (for tablets)
md (for desktops)
lg (for larger desktops)
The classes above can be combined to create more dynamic and flexible layouts.
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12">
</div>
Bootstrap's grid system allows up to 12 columns across the page.
but 12 columns each row. Your code have added 60 columns in one row its wrong.
Basic Structure of bootstrap grid:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-*-*"></div>
<div class="col-*-*"></div>
<div class="col-*-*"></div>
</div>
I started learning bootstrap from GetBootstrap source and I saw an example:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-9">.col-xs-9</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">.col-xs-4<br>Since 9 + 4 = 13 > 12, this 4-column-wide div gets wrapped onto a new line as one contiguous unit.</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">.col-xs-6<br>Subsequent columns continue along the new line.</div>
</div>
Now col-xs-9 means they should take 9 columns on mobile. It is also taking 9 columns on my desktop screen. How is that happening?
Note: Grid System in framework is 12 column layout.
Yes it's functioning properly as expected because whenever you apply a class.
Let suppose xs then it the same property will be applied to xs and screen greater than of that size.
So in your case col-xs-9 will be applied to extra-small screen and screen having resolution greater than that.
If you want it to take 100% of the width on desktop, try <div class="col-xs-9 col-md-12">.
Each column equals 1/12th of 100% width. Therefore if you want to get 100%, then the column sum needs to equal 12.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4"></div>
</div>
This example would make 3 DIVs below each other on mobile(12 = 100% width) but 3 DIVs per 100% width on desktops(4x3 = 100% width). This example is more often used in practice when you want DIVs to take up more width on smaller screens.
See this for a more detailed explanation. Also, I found this tutorial really helpful when I first started out trying to understand the grid system.
You can add different classes based on your Device width.
In Bootstrap grid system, it is scaled to a maximum of 12 columns. In the above example 9+4+6=18.
Sum should always be equal or less than 12.
Example
<div class="col-xs-9 col-md-5"> will take up 9 columns in mobile and 5 columns in desktop.
For Different devices :
col-xs-*(for mobiles)
col-sm-*(for small devices)
col-md-*(for desktops)
col-lg-*(for larger devices)
Adding .col-xs-12 makes my element take up 100% space not only in mobile, how do I make it narrower on desktop? Should I nest additional column classes like .col-md-4 and such?
This is what it looks like on desktop:
.col-xs-12 will render as the default for all viewport sizes if you don't specify a different value for larger screens (eg .col-lg-4 / .col-md-6 / .col-sm-8)
Without seeing your code I can't tell what you are actually trying to achieve, but if you only want the bar to take up 50% in laptop/desktop views for example you would have the html as follows:
<div class="col-md-6 col-xs-12">
Keep in mind that you will need to balance out your grid in the larger views if you go this way (12 columns within the row) http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-options
I'm not quite following you but I think you're after the following behaviour
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
this will allow for full width on xs and sm viewports
