I'm trying to achieve a dynamic layout option for a site, but I can't nail down how to make this work. The effect I'm trying to create should look like this:
Where:"1" will have text, and have a dynamic height;
"2" will have a background color and also fill the containing div below it, with a small vector image centered horizontally and vertically. I want to use a dynamic height on this so no matter how much text is in "1", it fills the rest of the bottom of this container;
"3" is an image (img-responsive) that fills the right half of the container. It will be what sets the height of the container div, with the possibility of different sized images being implemented.
I want these to display as shown on desktop browsers and landscape tablets, but to fall into a single column when its viewed on a smaller screen format.
I'm currently using two col-md-6 for each of these, and had the desired background color on the container. The problem I'm running into with bootstrap is when the screen is between 992px and 1200px, the content is collapsing to a smaller screen size, but it is making the bottom of "2" extend beyond the bottom of "3".
I've tried using flexbox for this, but when I use it in conjunction with col-md-6, it doesn't collapse to the single column on the smaller screen sizes. It also just doesn't seem to work too nicely with bootstrap 3.
I'm open to any type of solution outside of completely taking out bootstrap. Thank you all so much for your time and assistance!
EDIT 1:
Totally forgot to add the code. What I have so far is as follows:
https://jsfiddle.net/b86k1myr/
<div>
It's kind of wonky because bootstrap isnt also enabled. But that's what I have for that so far. The other attempt with flexbox is as follows:

As a tip for the future, you should always post the markup you're using currently.
Try this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">1</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">2</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">3</div>
</div>

In Figma(not really matter where) template has 1920px width. I want to create a page from it, but in the browser, the page has 1903px. Some of my elements do not fit and wrap down (when using flex-wrap e.g) due to it. So the question is, how to make it properly?
EDIT: On this
screen with clarification I tried to add fourth square but there no space so it wrapped to the bottom. Browser width is 1903px, within template I do from is 1920px. How other people do in situations like this, how it must be done to make it responsive on all pc screens?
Wrap it inside container like in bootstrap you can specify to which screen only it can wrap
For example:
.container-xl will only wrap your content inside container on xLarge screen only.
There are a couple of different ways to tackle this problem. The first would be something along the lines of Rashidtvmr's answer. You can use Bootstrap in your project and simply follow their guide for creating a grid system in your project. With bootstrap, you can solve your issue with something like the below code:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
1 of 3
</div>
<div class="col-6">
2 of 3 (wider)
</div>
<div class="col">
3 of 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
Where a grid system is created of 12 columns and you can specify how many an element should take up with col-2, col-3, col-4, etc. If you want them all to be the same width over all screens, then just specify each as col and bootstrap will take care of the rest.
If you can't or don't want to use Bootstrap, the next solution would be to create your own grid system using CSS. Without an example of your code, it's hard to specify exactly how it should look but following this guide should help you out.

Hi I have made this page using bootstrap it is working fine on Desktops i am mostly using classes like col-xs-4 or 12 but when i open my website on a cellphone it is not optimizing things are behaving awkwardly like the about us divs goes all the way up and etc. any help with the code will be helpful i am not posting the code as you can go to inspect element or view source code to access it.
In order for bootstrap to "work" you should put your columns inside container and row classes.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12"></div>
</div>
</div>
For more information go here Bootstrap Grid System
Container is a parent to content you want to style, it can have multiple rows inside. A row is sort of horizontal group (like a row in a table). Rows have 12 columns, but you can apply different widths to elements to target different views (dektop, mobile) depending on screen width. You need a row element if you want columns to work. For instance if you use:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"></div>
</div>
</div>
Then this will take 50% width (it will be on the left) of parent .container element on larger screens and 100% width of parent .container on smaller screens. Hope that clarifies something. I really recommend reading Bootstrap documentation - it's short and simple.
I got the following constellation of <div>-elements:
<div class="root">
<div class="mainContainer">
<div class="menuBarContainer"></div>
<div class="appBoxContainer"></div>
</div>
<div class="sidebarContainer"></div>
</div>
Now, I want them to arrange on my page as depicted in the follwing picture:
Which would be the best way to arrange the <div> in CSS?
My problem is that the boxes try to fit in one line, even if I set the width-attribute to 100%.
I want the site to be fully responsive and the sidebarContainer-element is linked to a button which toggles its visibility.
What can I do to make the mainContainer-element take the full width of the page (root) when the sidebar is invisible (width: 0)?
Thanks in advance!
Look into flexboxes, they're practically made for this desktop-application like layout.
Row direction for for .root, column direction for .mainContainer
For responsive design you can use media queries to hide the .sidebarContainer below a certain screen size, even depending on device orientation.
Or simply change the root flexbox to column direction to display it below the main content.
If you set (blue) boxes to display:block they should clear automatically both sides and get positioned like your sketch;
Then , assuming your sidebar has a variable width you could set
.mainContainer {width: auto; display:inline-block}
I have a simple site a guy made me using bootstrap. But it has a wide gutter on both sides, and I want to remove that, so the site will stretch from one side to the other.
I tried to do this by editing the css file, specifically the container size for each monitor size, and the padding (default is 15 px on both side).
This did make is slightly wider, but only slightly. Can anyone tell me what part of the css I can edit to do this? The gutters are a bit too wide for me!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
If the content is surrounded by a div with container class, try to change it to container-fluid
Bootstrap doc
Bootstrap 2.3.2 doc
Turn any fixed-width grid layout into a full-width layout by changing
your outermost .container to .container-fluid.
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
...
</div>
</div>
FIRST ISSUE:
Let's say I have a section in my website where I want to break the width of the container 1200px width. In this section I need to position an image on the very left side of the browser screen and on the right side some text.
I assume that in order to make this I have to use container-fluid and I'm using it like this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div> HERE IS THE CONTENT FOR IMAGE AND TEXT </div>
</div>
</div>
When I check this in the browser:
It appears an horizontal scrollbar and I have to remove the negative margins of the .row class in order to get rid of the scrollbar.
Is this the normal way of doing this?
SECOND ISSUE:
Let's say I want to create a section where I want to have a full width background color and the content to be withing the default bootstrap grid width of 1200px.
Is it necessary to create an container-fluid in order to do this? Or is better just to create an extra div an add there the background color ?
In Bootstrap, the grid is defined by three components: the container, the row and the column(s). The container comes in two flavors: container, which sets the max-width of the container for each of the specific breakpoints defined in Bootstrap and centers the container within the viewport; and the container-fluid, which simply sets the width to 100% of the viewport display. Both the containers set the padding to 15px.
The purpose of the row is to contain the columns which float left by default, so it will automatically clear the float. It has a -15px margin to negate the padding added by the container.
The columns go inside your rows. Columns are based on a grid of 12. If you only need one column at the x-small breakpoint and up, then add one col-xs-12. Want two equal columns at that viewport width, add two col-xs-6. Columns have 15px of padding left and right, so there are always consistent gutters.
The row margins negating the container width may sound useless, but it's important and very clever, because it allows you to nest rows and columns inside other columns allowing you to create an endless combination of grid divisions.
So, your issue is that you're not using the grid the way it is designed. You must have at least one column inside a row inside a container.
In bootstrap you need the following structure:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xx-xx">
...content goes here...
</div>
</div>
</div>
The reason of this structure is that the container will try to grab and center the content, in the case of the .container-fluid, it grabs 100% width columns instead of the traditional ~960ish pixels that has been used.
The row will allow you to allocate 12 columns of content in the order you decide, which is the next div.
The class .col-xx-xx will allow you to specify the breaking point of that column, lg for large devices, md for medium devices sm and xs for mobile/tablet devices.
The second dual xx in .col-xx-xx will allow you to specify how many of the 12 columns you're going to take in that container. For Example, .col-lg-3 Will be a column who's breaking point is as large device (1200px or so) and it will take 3 column spaces.
So it is necessary to use the structure above, else you will have that scrollbar on the x-axis bothering.
EDIT
As for your second problem, it is really necessary that you use the structure given above in the code, you want it to be full width? that means, no margins and paddings, I have a small trick for that that I have been using for a while now, I'll explain it below:
Use a container with the class of jumbotron as follows:
<div class="jumbotron my-own-jumbotron">
...content goes here
<div>
Since the jumbotron es designed to be responsive, it will act as a responsive container. on the next class, .my-own-jumbotron specify the background image or color you want for it, and depending on the content you add to it, it will adjust the size of it. I don't know if that's the solution you're looking for, but here's a demo:
https://www.hsoto.me/00295134567891srgsrgsrht36erdrbd5ye546/ipotra/
The third div will be a jumbotron with a custom background-image that expands as needed, and you can resize it and view it on a mobile device, and it is complete responsive, and full width.
I found that this way, it is not necessary to use the .container-fluid div.
