I'm new to CSS-frameworks.
Normally I start my markup within the body by adding a div with the class "wrap". The purpose of that, is to get the content horizontally centered. And for having a top-, bottom-margin.
Now with Foundation I would like to keep that approach. But I'm not sure where to put the "wrap"-div.
That's what I got currently:
.wrap {
margin: 10px auto;
}
<div class="wrap">
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns">
<div class="callout">
<h1>Lorem Ipsum</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Demo with Foundation added on CodePen: http://codepen.io/mizech/pen/LWBOvQ
I mean: It works but I'm not sure if I do it right.
Shall I keep it the way it is? Or should I put the "wrap"-div somewhere else?
Should I perhaps leave the "wrap"-div at all (when using Foundation) and doing something else instead?
You don't need a wrap div. Foundation has a maximum width set on the .row so anything inside it will conform to that grid. If you need you can add a class with vertical margins or padding to that row. If you need a full width row you just add the class .expanded to it.

Is there a way to create a .col on a bootstrap page so that it goes all the way to the edge of it's container?
I would like the image in the example (which is in a .col-xs-12 inside a .row inside a .container) to use up all the space up until the edge of the container. I can solve this with pure JS resizing it as needed but I would prefer to solve this using pure CSS approach (if possible). As it is now I have tried several different variants of negative margins and relative positioning but all end up with it either not being perfectly aligned to the edge or messes something else up as well.
Here is a base example of how the page is coded: https://www.bootply.com/wVw5jnKa35
Here if you want to achieve your requirement than you can add custom class in your col-xs-12 class
Like this
HTML
<div class="col-xs-12 no-pad">
<img class="FullWidth" src="http://calendar.volego.ru/img/users/wallpapers/20160215081029217.jpg">
</div>
CSS
.no-pad {
padding: 0;
}
You don't need to define and use a custom class for this purpose.
simply, At line 8, change:
<div class="col-xs-12">
to
<div>
I have a fiddle here which shows my issue. You may need to make the 'result' quadrant wider to show the issue.
I have a couple of columns in my bootstrap layout but I can't seem to get my button to layout inside the parent div, it always seems to overlap it:
At first I thought it was due to the padding of the columns in bootstrap but I have removed that and the problem persists. I'm obviously missing something fundamental about how this is supposed to work, so any pointers to some help with css might not go amiss either.
apparently I have to link to some code to include a link to a fiddle so here is some:
My html is:
<div class="col-md-3 col-lg-3 nopadding">
<div class="definition-pallette">
<div class="row nopadding">
<div class="col nopadding"><button data-bind="click: showStepModal">+ Step</button></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and the additional css on top of the bootstrap default is:
.nopadding {
padding-left: 0 !important;
padding-right: 0 !important;
}
Seems to be a few things going on here. The main issue is you are using a lot of divs with a class of 'col' inside your 'row' divs. To get them to start behaving you need to define what size the col is. This fixes most of your problems. So for example, where you have this
<div class="row">
<div class="col">Some content</div>
</div>
Change that to something like
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">Some content</div>
</div>
And it starts behaving.
I also got rid of your .nopadding class as you don't need that.
Here is an updated fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/T4XY4/1/ - it fixes most of the things in the right panel, but I'll leave the rest to you. You may want to choose which classes you actually want inside your 'row' divs, I just chucked in xs-12 for simplicity.
Edit
The Bootstrap docs confirms that if you are nesting columns you need proper col-* classes - http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-nesting
Its caused by bootstraps margins in the row class adding margin:0; to your no padding class will fix this but might cause layout issues in other places or on mobile devices.
.row {
margin-right: -15px;
margin-left: -15px;
}
I have a Bootstrap 3 grid.
I need to add a header image that's 960 pixels wide.
However, if I add it to a row, the usual padding of 10px on a column "offsets" my image since it no longer "fits":
I know how to force this to work, but I was wondering if I am missing some modifier class in BS3 to make this work.
And, yes, I know I could use a css background-image but the client wants an image there.
Add a class to your CSS that removes the margin to make full-width image within the column and then add that class after the column.
.bosom-none {
margin-right: -15px; // Removes the right gap
margin-left: -15px; // Removes the left gap
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="colum-md-6 bosom-none">
<img src="your-image.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</div>
You probably have something else messing it up because as you can see, a container, row and then a img gives you no margins.
<div class="container" style="background:green">
<div class="row">
<img src="http://www.placehold.it/150x150">
</div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/dBNwq/1

<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<div class="container" style="background:green;">

This is a problem I've encountered many times with Bootstrap. You basically have three options:
If you're placing the image inside a column (e.g. .col-sm-12) which is inside a .row, you'll have to apply a negative margin to the image or a parent container equal to the column's padding: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/xEGkaQ
You could also instead make the image (or a wrapping div) a direct child of the .row but Bootstrap discouraged use to do this.
You can move the image outside the .col/.row all together, give it it's own .container and rid of that container's padding: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/WGvAap.
I usually go for option #1.
Please note that this does not answer your question. It meant to write this for future reference for other people encountering the same problem and do not know how to force this to work.
The actual answer to your question: no, Bootstrap does not offer such a modifier class.
Simply replace div class="container" with div class="container-fluid"
and that's it !
You can also create a class that will cover the container it is in...
.heroLg {
size:cover;
-webkit-size: cover;
-moz-size: cover;
-o-size: cover;
}
Then add the class to your image.
put the image into a span12
<div class="row">
<div class="span12">
<img src="image.jpg" />
</div>
</div>
Okay, so this is going to be hard to explain, so please ask questions if I am not clear
In my html page, I have a main "container" div that has multiple divs within it, but each of the divs inside the container are placed into one of two columns (so if there is a div in the container, it is either in the left column or the right column)
<div id="container">
<div id="column1">
<div id="item1-1"></div>
<div id="item1-2"></div>
<div id="item1-3"></div>
</div column1>
<div id="column2">
<div id="item2-1"></div>
<div id="item2-2"></div>
<div id="item2-3"></div>
</div column2>
</div container>
[NOTE: I know the syntax is incorrect, I am just making it easier to read]
So, in other words, I want two columns of divs that can vary in size (so the page size can vary), and so that item1-2 appears below item1-1, etc. The problem here is I want the divs in the container to appear inside of it, so I cannot use absolute or relative positioning. Something is telling me I should be using a table, but I am not sure how to go about doing this.
So, my question is: using only html and css, is there any to do exactly what is above?
First: make </div column1> and </div column2> just say </div>
Second: CSS:
#container {
width: 100%;
}
#column1, #column2 {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
To achieve the look you want you should use CSS float property. However, to avoid problems with parent container not displaying correctly, consider following one of the two possible solutions:
Adding a div after floating elements with
clear: both
or applying code below to your parent div
overflow: hidden
I am trying to create a 4 column <div> layout.
Why are the row containers not drawing a border around the respective row?
Also, is this a good approach, as in is my css written well to be fluid and for dynamic resizing of the browser window?
Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated.
Here is my current attempt.
You need to set the overflow to auto when using float. http://jsfiddle.net/gJJHs/
The problem seems to be that you are floating your columns, and when you float things, they take up effectively zero space.
I think the solution is to cancel the float in you "last" class and add a "dummy column" to each row.
This CSS seems to work:
.col
{
float: left;
width: 25%;
}
.last{
clear: left;
}
.row{
border: 1px solid green;
}
Revised HTML (with dummy last column):
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1</div>
<div class="col">2</div>
<div class="col">3</div>
<div class="col">4</div>
<div class="last" />
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">5</div>
<div class="col">6</div>
<div class="col">7</div>
<div class="col">8</div>
<div class="last" />
</div>
When an element is floated, its parent no longer contains it because the float is removed from the flow. The floated element is out of the natural flow, so all block elements will render as if the floated element is not even there, so a parent container will not fully expand to hold the floated child element.
As such, the border will seem like it is not bordering anything :( Take a look at the following article to get a better idea of how the CSS Float property works:
The Mystery Of The CSS Float Property
As others have said, if you add overflow: auto; to your .row class, it'll take care of the problem. Here's another article that explains why to use overflow.
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html
I hope this helps.

it's the float left. That takes the divs "out of flow" and it's drawing the border around empty space essentially
Yet another option, in addition to the other answers, is to add overflow: hidden; to your .row.
The reason for the behavior you saw is that float takes the div outside of the normal flow. The div then essentially takes up no space in the document.
This makes sense if you think about the ostensible purpose of floating an image in order to wrap text around it. The next p tag (for example) is positioned as if the floated image wasn't there, i.e. overlapping the image. Then, the browser wraps the text within the 'p' tag around the image. (If the floated image was not "removed from the flow", the p tag would naturally appear below the image—not giving the desired effect.)
Here's how I'd write the code.
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1</div>
<div class="col">2</div>
<div class="col">3</div>
<div class="col">4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">5</div>
<div class="col">6</div>
<div class="col">7</div>
<div class="last">8</div>
</div>
CSS:
.col
{
float: left;
width: 25%;
}
.row{
border: 1px solid green;
overflow: hidden; /* "overflow: auto;" works just as well instead */
width:100%; /* Helps older versions of IE */
}
Add a "float:none;clear:both" to your .row and you'll see the rows appropriately. But for the fluid behavior and design that you are looking for, you'll want to apply some javascript (like jQuery Equal Height: http://www.jainaewen.com/files/javascript/jquery/equal-height-columns/) to be consistent across browsers without a ton of CSS hacking.
