Bootstrap 3: text on the left and right in the page header - html

Question

I'm trying to make a simple page header with bootstrap 3. Here's the code:
<div class="page-header">
<h1>Text on the left</h1>
<h3 class="text-right">This to the right but on the same line</h3>
</div>
Here's a jsfiddle to try: http://jsfiddle.net/DTcHh/2450/
Basically I just want to have text on the left and right inside the page-header, but on the same line.
The usual tricks of using float:left and float:right as with normal html "break" the page-header, meaning the text is properly aligned but is displayed outside (under) the page-header, which remains empty.
Any clues?

Answer 1

you can use "pull-right" and "pull-left" classes, with "clearfix" class after.
(Bootstrap 3)
<div class="page-header">
<div class="pull-left">
<h1>Text on the left</h1>
</div>
<div class="pull-right">
<h3 class="text-right">This to the right but on the same line</h3>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
also you can adjust line height on the h3 tag in the right, if you want to match with h1

(as of Bootstrap 4.1)
use float-left and float-right instead. You still need the clearfix.
<div class="page-header">
<div class="float-left">
<h1>Text on the left</h1>
</div>
<div class="float-right">
<h3 class="text-right">This to the right but on the same line</h3>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>

Answer 2

if you are using Bootstrap, you should do something like
<div class="page-header">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<h1>Text on the left</h1>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h3 class="text-right">This to the right but on the same line</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
if you want to "stylize" the h1, h2, etc, change it to "display:block" and you'll have to add a "width" attribute anyway

Answer 3

use the following structure to position with bootstrap:
<div class= 'container'>
<div class='row'>
<div class ='md-col-4'>
<h1>Text on the left</h1>
</div>
<div class = 'md-col-4.col-md-offset-4'>
<h3 class='text-right'>This to the right but on the same line</h3>
</div>
</div>
Think of the row as a grid across of 12. So fist 4 left 3rd. 2nd div is the 3rd third with a 4 grid offset or gap.
