I'm trying to create a full width page using Bootstrap. I have a setup similar to this:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
The first row goes here
</div>
<div class="row">
The second row goes here
</div>
<div class="row">
The third row goes here
</div>
</div>
</body>
If I wanted to create a row inside a row, how would I do that? This is what I am trying to achieve:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="row text-center">
<h1>Some title</h1>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
<div class="col-md-4">
Grid perhaps
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
More grid
</div>
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
So basically I want to put the title on one row and some grids on another row. The tricky part here is, I want to place some columns that are 4 columns wide in the middle, and then have "2 columns padding" on the left and right.
My question may sound like others, but is unique because of the padding. How do I make this layout properly?
Bootstrap has a smart (but delicate) gutters system providing "natural" (margins + paddings) for content on all devices 1.
This system is based on two simple assumptions:
columns are immediate children of .rows 2
content is placed inside columns
That's why, if you want to place a .row inside another .row (to further divide one of your cols), you'd have to use this markup:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 offset-md-2">
Grid perhaps
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
More grid
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The above doesn't make much sense by itself (you could just use the markup of the child row and you'd get the same result). But it's useful when you want to offset (or limit) an entire area of a layout, like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 offset-md-2 col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col offset-0">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
See this fiddle for a live example.
1 To get rid of Bootstrap's gutters (in v4), one would need to apply no-gutters class on .row.
2 This is a "general principle", not a "strict rule". Other elements are allowed (and even recommended) as direct children of .rows (such as column breaks). At the other end, other elements extend from .rows (such as .form-rows), thus inheriting the gutters system and being valid column parents.
.row should not be the immediate child of another .row
.col* should not be the immediate child of another .col*
From the Bootstrap docs:
"Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be
immediate children of rows."
I don't understand why you think you need a row in a row, and what's wrong with just using your layout w/o the nested row. Do you realize that col-12 is the width of a full row?
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 text-center">
<h1>Some title</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
Grid perhaps
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
More grid
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
</div>
</div>
</div>

Bootstrap 4, the same rule applies:
"Rows are wrappers for columns. Each column has horizontal padding
(called a gutter) for controlling the space between them... In a grid
layout, content must be placed within columns and only columns may be
immediate children of rows" __ Bootstrap 4.1 Docs

I have a 3 column layout with the code here for example. Right now when the browser window gets smaller it stacks from the 1st column on top, 2nd in the middle and then 3rd is last as expected. I want the columns to behave this way when the columns get smaller.
First - This column gets hidden and I have already established that in the CSS
Third - This is the first column on top.
Second- This column is on bottom.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">First</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">Second</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">Third</div>
</div>
Use .order- classes for controlling the visual order of your content.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">
First, but unordered
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 order-12">
Second, but last
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3 order-1">
Third, but first
</div>
</div>
</div>
In the Bootstrap documentation it's stated that to nest content with the grid system I must add a new .row and set of .col-sm-* columns within an existing .col-sm-* column. However, nesting just the .col-sm-* columns w/o adding a new .row seems to work as well.
I wonder what difference does the new .row make?
You can have columns nested in another column but they should generally be inside a row. The rows have negative margins to account for the padding on the columns, so if you have columns nested inside columns without a row in between, it will mess up the alignment of your page.
Rows are used to create horizontal groups of columns. Rows also help in keeping the elements in the same line. Doing this will make all the elements in a well-structured format.
Try this both and you we will understand by yourself.
USING ROW
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>Resize the browser window to see the effect.</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavenderblush;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:red;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:yellow;">.col-sm-4</div>
</div>
WITHOUT USING ROW
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavenderblush;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:red;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:yellow;">.col-sm-4</div>

I would like to have a responsive list of items, dynamically fetched from the server (so the number of items is unknown).
According to Foundation 6, the block grid is the way to go. I have used the block grid successfully to show images, but when I try to create a grid inside a block grid column, it doesn't look too good.
Here is my code:
<div class="foods row small-up-1 medium-up-3 large-up-4">
<div class="food column">
<div class="row">
<div class="small-6 medium-4 large-3 columns picture ar-wrapper ar-4-3">
<div class="ar-container">
</div>
</div>
<div class="small-6 medium-8 large-9 columns data">
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns title">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns description">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns restaurant-name">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
None of the additional classes interfere with the width of change any float settings.
The result looks like this:
The tall block on the left is the "large-3 columns" element and the selected (blue-ish) element is the "large-9 columns" large div (it's made on a large screen). So by the looks of it, the block grid column has more than 12 simple grid columns.
I appreciate any help or alternative solutions on how to solve this.
I'm working with Bootstrap 3.0 and I need one row with three elements. I want one fixed at the center and other two at the left and right sides. The following code shows what I have. This works, but it makes three rows.
<div class="row-centered">
<span class="text-left">text</span>
<div class="center-block" style="width:200px;background-color:#ccc;">...</div>
<div class="text-right">text</div>
</div>
You could use <div class="row"> and <div class="col-sm-4"> (where "col-sm-4" is interchangable with classes like "col-sm-3", "col-md-4", etc.) to put elements in-line on the same row - here's a JSFiddle.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4 text-right">text</div>
<div class="col-xs-4" style="background-color:#ccc;">...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-left">text</div>
</div>
try using a tradition row and take advantage of the Bootstrap Grid. Static widths are a bad idea but if you told me specifically what width you are looking to achieve we can better suit it with a column size.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4 text-left">text</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-center" style="background-color:#CCC;">...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-right">text</div>
</div>
I've used Bootstrap in the past but cannot find how to do a basic stacking of 2 divs, it's basically 2 col-lg-6 divs sat on top of each other but against one div to the left of it (see picture).
How should the HTML look for this? Should it all be in the one row or is there special classes for doing this?
so you will want a row, inside that row you want a col-6 division. on the 2nd division, just add stuff
DEMO: http://jsbin.com/hikopu/1/
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
[left]
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
[right]
<div class="col-lg-12">
[right top]
</div>
<div class="col-lg-12">
[right bottom]
</div>
</div>
</div>
