Foundation 6 resize and centering issues - html

Hello Im having problems with foundation 6. In my footer there is a social list with 4 icons(phone, email, twitter, facebook) I cant get them to stay centered on resize. On my PC it seems fine, however, uploaded onto the web and viewed on my phone(nexus 6) the icons are off center to the left. here is my footer code
<footer>
<!--social icons should be centered -->
<div class="row">
<div class="large-3 medium-centered columns">
<ul class="menu social">
<li>
<a href="http://www.twitter.com">
<i class="fi-social-twitter"></i>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.facebook.com">
<i class="fi-social-facebook"></i>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="tel:12345678901 ;="">
<i class="fi-telephone"></i></a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="mailto:info#example.com">
<i class="fi-mail"></i>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

</footer>
The site is www.gastromob.com. I could really use some suggestions on how to improve this site. I'm having several problems, but I'd like to fix this one first, thanks.

The class medium-centered that you use is meant to center a column within a row; it does not center the text inside that column.
Foundation 6 recommends using the <div class="menu-centered"> wrapper around the <ul class="menu">. If you're using Flexbox, you don't need the wrapper and can add the .align-center class to the ul element instead. Please click here for more information.
Using the row and column wrapper seems unnecessary here.
You could write your code this way to achieve what you need:
<footer>
<div class="menu-centered">
<ul class="menu">
<li>
<a href="http://www.twitter.com">
<i class="fi-social-twitter"></i>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.facebook.com">
<i class="fi-social-facebook"></i>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="tel:12345678901">
<i class="fi-telephone"></i>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="mailto:info#example.com">
<i class="fi-mail"></i>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p class="text-center copyright"> All Rights Reserved Final FInal 2016.</p>
</footer>
By the way, href="tel:12345678901 ;="" is incorrect and should be href="tel:1234567890" instead.
I've also looked at your site, and noticed that you set a fixed height for the element <div id="overlay">. As a result, when viewing the site on a small device, this overlay spills over and covers the elements below it. You should simply remove the fixed height to solve this problem.
The boat logo also obstructs the view when shrinking the size of the screen. You may want to make it responsive as well.
Other than that, all the other elements are responsive and look good!

<span> not starting where it starts where I want it to on new line

In the image you can see that if the title of the sidebar link is too long it goes to the next line. However it starts where the icon is located and not where the start of the span is. How would I style the class "side-nav-item" to where it will format where Administrator when it is shifted to the new line it starts where Give is.
<li class="side-nav-item">
<a data-bs-toggle="collapse" href="#userAccess" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="userAccess"
class="side-nav-link">
<i class="uil-layer-group"></i>
<span>User Access</span>
<span class="menu-arrow"></span>
</a>
<div class="collapse" id="userAccess" data-bs-parent="#accordion">
<ul>
<li class="side-nav-item">
<a href="/task/add-location-access" class="side-nav-link">
<i class="uil-shield-check"></i>
<span> Give user access - Administrator</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="side-nav-item">
<a href="/task/remove-location-access" class="side-nav-link">
<i class="uil-shield-slash"></i>
<span> Remove</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
Style <span> inside <a></a> as an inline-block. The behaviour you are seeing is expected from inline elements like <span> and <i>. Checkout concepts of inline elements, block elements and 'display' property in CSS. I am assuming you are new to HTML and CSS, so I suggest you begin with a good hands on video tutorial.
try this ,
<span
style="width:400px;text-align:start;height:max-content;"
>
Give user access - Administrator
</span>

Bootstrap 3 , different height columns layout?

I've recently started using bootstrap 3 and I'm really loving the grid system.
I am however stuck trying to implement the following layout.
Is it possible to create something like that with bootstrap?
I have read on the documentation about Column wrapping, is that the way to go?
What would be the best approach to achieve it?
What people often forget when using bootstrap is that it is fully customisable. You can use your own css to size and position divs as long as your css code goes after bootstrap.
Here is something similar to what you are trying to achieve: fiddle
<div id="wrapper" class="">
<!-- Sidebar -->
<div id="sidebar-wrapper">
<ul class="sidebar-nav">
<li class="sidebar-brand">
<a href="#">
Start Bootstrap
</a>
</li>
<li>
Dashboard
</li>
<li>
Shortcuts
</li>
<li>
Overview
</li>
<li>
Events
</li>
<li>
About
</li>
<li>
Services
</li>
<li>
Contact
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- /#sidebar-wrapper -->
<!-- Page Content -->
<div id="page-content-wrapper">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<h1>Simple Sidebar</h1>
<p>This template has a responsive menu toggling system. The menu will appear collapsed on smaller screens, and will appear non-collapsed on larger screens. When toggled using the button below, the menu will appear/disappear. On small screens, the page content will be pushed off canvas.</p>
<p>Make sure to keep all page content within the <code>#page-content-wrapper</code>.</p>
Toggle Menu
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /#page-content-wrapper -->
</div>
I don't think that you can do it only with bootstrap.
You should probably use https://github.com/desandro/masonry that solves this exact problem.
Bootstrap uses float to position your columns, while Masonry compute absolute position to put the div on the right place.
You can still use Bootstrap for defining responsive behaviour of your column (the width propriety)

Bootstrap nav collapsing into body of site

I am having issues with my navigation collapsing into the body of my site and I would prefer it to remain fixed when the browser window is re-sized. I have tried adjusting the min/max-widths of the bootstrapresponsive.css but it still seems to disappear into the body. Any help would be amazing. Cheers! I have posted the code below:
<div class="navbar" style="padding-bottom:0px;">
<div class="navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container" style="width: auto;">
<div id="logo"><img src="images/CoHlogo.jpg" class="logoImage";></div>
<div class="nav-right">

Removal of the class .nav-collapse from one of the <div> elements solves this problem. As the name of the class suggests, an element with this class will become hidden on smaller screen sizes (I think below widths of 979px is what the stylesheet says?), by receiving height:0 and overflow:hidden via media query.
Here's a JSFiddle (with externally-loaded Bootstrap CSS) that demonstrates how layout would appear without this class. Try resizing the Result pane to see how it would look at different screen sizes.
I hope this is what you were looking for! If not, let me know and I'll be happy to help further.
(Edit:) On taking a look at your live environment, I can now see that when you say "collapse", you mean the navigation links break to a new line as the parent element becomes too small. This is standard behaviour for floated elements. To stop this from happening, you can try applying min-width:1200px or something to that effect to the .container element (inside of .navbar-fixed-top). Hope this helps!

Center the second row of a bunch of <li>'s without adding divs?

So I have a question that might be relatively simple, but I haven't been able to solve yet.
On my website, I have a of company logos that is within a div that breaks if you add any other divs for organizational purposes (because the first div is used for css animations and adding any other divs in it causes problems for some reason), which is preventing me from centering the second row's logos beneath the first row. I've been kindly warned about posting links so deleted that. Here is the relevant code (i'm hoping it's complete):
<ul id="da-thumbs" class="da-thumbs">
<li>
<a href="#">
<img src="x" />
<div><span>Account Management and Product Intern</span></div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<img src="x" />
<div><span>Advisory Board Member</span></div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<img src="x" />
<div><span>Biz. Intelligence and Web Specialist</span></div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<img src="x" />
<div><span>Marketing Manager</span></div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<img src="x" />
<div><span>Marketing Consultant</span></div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<img src="x" />
<div><span>Product Manager/Developer</span></div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<img src="X" />
<div><span>Tech+Data Lead/Advisor</span></div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
Due to the sizes of the container and the images, these elements show up as 3 in the first row, 4 in the second. Does anyone have any solutions for this? I tried turning them into inline-block elements, or adding margins, but nothing really worked without specifying a new div for the second row's 4 elements.
Thanks in advance!
*Edit: Deleted link, sorry about that.
Is this what you are looking for?
ul{text-align:center;}
li{display:inline-block;}

You might try to target the offending logos with the :nth-oftype CSS pseudo-class.

Bootstrap Inline Elements

So at the top of my page I have a title and a facebook logo. Here's a working example: fiddle
So everything is in a neat row at the top of the page. However, I want the logo and the text Join us on... to be on the right side, and the heading stays where it is. I've tried adding class="pull-right" to the 2nd and 3rd <li> elements, like this. But you can see how that really screws up the vertical alignment. Other than the alignment that's how I want it to look.
Any ideas on how to fix the alignment?
You can apply the pull-right on the li. Also, H4 will cause a break so, you should put the img and "Join Us..." inside the H4.
Try this:
<ul class="inline">
<li><h3 class="muted">Heading</h3></li>
<li class="pull-right">
<div class="media">
<h4 class="media-heading">
<a href="#">
<img src="http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/facebook/facebook_logo_36x36.png" style="max-width:100%;" alt="Join us on Facebook" />
</a>
Join Us on Facebook
</h4>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
you should add another element and give it "pull-right" class. Your join us code should be in that .
So you should have like this;
<ul>
logo
</ul>
<ul class="pull-right">
join us
</ul>
