Fit (resize/compress) overflowing content in a div? - html

I am using Bootstrap. I have div with class="row" and three columns inside with divs in each column.
The third column overflows outside the row div, which could be fixed by giving padding-right to row div. But it still repeats when resized to smaller size.
While resizing from md to sm to xs, the column divs overlap during the transition.
How do I fix this?

If all of your columns (col--) add up to 12 you should be alright. If it's an image that's overflowing (which it sounds like it is) you can add the img-reponsive class to it. This will set max-width: 100% which sounds like the issue but I can't be sure without a code sample.

proper usage of container-fluid in bootstrap

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.

Divs overlap and ellipsis not working in fluid layout

I'm creating a fluid layout with 2 divs (named status and status_edit) in a container.
The second div is overlapping when resizing the window, also ellipsis are not working on the status_list spans. Do you have any solution? i have tried a lot.
You can see it in this Fiddle
Thanks
The li inside .status-edit are floating outside the box. You could add overflow: auto to .status-edit. However, when the screensize gets smaller, 'icon1' and 'icon2' disappear. To fix that, you could set a min-width to .status-edit.
You could also set a min-widht to .container. The div than will be resized in ratio, depending on the window size but will keep a defined minimum width. When the window size gets smaller than that value, the horizontal scrollbar will appear.

Horizantal children divs- fixed width and percentage width- percentage width too wide

So, I have this code
http://pastebin.com/W3ggtgZB as css, and the body looks like this:
http://pastebin.com/2tkmhnfW
What I am trying to do is create a div with two children divs, one of which has a fixed width, and the other one I want to fill the rest of the blank space. I'm eventually going to want a div going across the top of this side div, too, but, that comes later. My issue is, the child div sub1 expands to be 100% of its parent width, which is an issue, because then it overlaps out of the parent div and keeps going. I tried things like floating left, using block and inline, I tried setting the width to auto (which makes it disappear for some reason) - but nothing seems to really work. It looks okay, at first, but when you zoom in, sub1 kinda follows its own rules. Can someone help me fix it so that sub1 will just fill in the rest of the space left in the main div?
Here is the answer:

Only need to specify the side column's floating and the rest will take place as you want, adapting the screen size as well.
Hope it helps!

Floating divs like desktop icons

I have 15 Divs with 200px x 200px sized. I also having a container div which height set to 100%.
I need to display the Divs vertically one by one and when its reached the end of the container height, The following divs should display in the second column.
I exactly need my divs to display like floating icons in desktop in PC.
Please help me fix this.
This can be done by setting css column-count property of ul to number of columns

How to stack relative positioned divs?

I am facing a problem: I have a div tag and images of 100px width each on both sides of the div. Now I want to add a number of div tags stacked over each other in the middle of it and they have to be fluid (using % width) and relative to support multiple resolutions. How can I do it?
JSFiddle Code
The only way to do that with the center being position: relative is by knowing the height of the center divs and adjusting margin-bottom of the div immediately above. Look at http://jsfiddle.net/XMkDt/10/ (this is only a single line, not very useful), and http://jsfiddle.net/XMkDt/26/ (this is equal height divs, but could be adapted to accommodate different heights; note: on my FF win7 the border's align correctly but the text is tweaked by a pixel and I'm not sure why--but for your purposes, it would work).
Note: you would want to make sure z-index: 1 was set to the div that you are actually showing at the time (as you make your opacity change), to lift it above the other divs.
Something like this? You'll need a hell of a lot of empty spaces though to make them fill the width...
