I have a situation where i have six columns getting generated dynamically in the row.
<div class ="row">
<div class="col-sm-2">
<!-- content -->
</div>
</div>
I want to add an icon to the end of the row, but it breaks down because there are six columns as the icon is 7th one. Is there anyway we can add/append the icon to the end of the row without breaking it into next row.
You can do this by using absolute positioning for icon. You need to do some setup before that by adding position relative to the row it contains.
HTML below.
<div class="container">
<div class ="row columns-parent">
<div class="col-sm-2 columns">1
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 columns">2
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 columns">3
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 columns">4
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 columns">5
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 columns">6
</div>
<div class="icon">icon here </div>
</div>
</div>
And the CSS
.icon{
position : absolute;
right : 0;
}
.columns-parent{
position:relative;
padding-right:60px;
}
Set the right and top as per your requirements. Also adjust the padding right of the row(60 px here) depending on number of pixels your icon is gonna take so that icon doesnt overlap the content.

I have some html code that has some elements in rows:
<div class = "row">
<div class="col-sm-3 cont-box">
<h1>Title1<h1>
</div>
<div class="col-sm9 cont-box">
<img src="onepic.jpeg" class="img-responsive" alt="dum1">
</div>
</div>
When I add margins to the class cont-boxmy browser displays the two elements underneath each other, a line break is added. I would like them to be next to each other, what am I missing?
I am completely new to CSS and html, so any help is much appreciated.
When you add a margin to bootstrap grid that time when its width reaches above the 12 column grid that time it automatically pushes to down.
To do this add div inside the col-sm-3 and col-sm-9 and add margin to it.
<div class = "row">
<div class="col-sm-3">
<div class="cont-box">
<h1>Title1<h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<div class="cont-box">
<img src="onepic.jpeg" class="img-responsive" alt="dum1">
</div>
</div>
</div>
I am pretty new to bootstrap and have been beating my head up with the following problem. Whenever I use the following code, the padding between the columns is getting lost.
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 col"></div>
<div class="col-sm-4 col"></div>
<div class="col-sm-4 col"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body><!--end body-->
But whenever I move the class col inside the column, then the code works exactly as expected.
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="col"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="col"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="col"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body><!--end body-->
Following is the CSS class that I am using
<style>
.col{
min-height: 500px;
background-color: gray;
}
</style>
Bootstrap does not add space between the columns, it adds space inside each column. So if you put another div inside each column that will give the space you want.
The way I look at it is the columns only act as containers for the actual content, which goes inside them.
jsfiddle of the kind of thing I think you should do instead: https://jsfiddle.net/bqadptzL/
CSS:
.col {
/* just to demonstrate */
background-color: red;
}
.box {
background-color:gray;
min-height: 500px;
}
HTML:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 col">
<div class="box">
Content
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 col">
<div class="box">
Content
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 col">
<div class="box">
Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body><!--end body-->
If you look at the grid system examples, you will see there is no space between the columns, only inside them. http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid
Hope that helps.
Sidenote: you should not put columns inside columns, you should only put columns inside rows. But you can put rows inside columns. So you can alternate row - column - row - column, not row - column - column. This is how Bootstrap system is meant to work.
When you use the second version you get a margin created by the div you added,
if you add a margin to the .col css class you should see the difference.
You can take a look here for a more detailed answer about how to work with the columns in bootstrap with a similar issue
The padding is not getting lost. In Bootstrap, col-sm-* has 15px padding. Remember, the background color fills entire the width of the cell, padding included.
You're putting the bg color on the column with padding, and in the other case it's on the inner column that doesn't have padding.
Put the background-color and a border, only on the col-sm-4. and you'll see the difference. The padding is there, and the same in both cases...

What i have is sidebar and on right side i have content. What i want is that both sides are in container but that are both full width . This is my demo: https://jsfiddle.net/DTcHh/19067/
So i want that left background color start from beging of page but text inside is in container and also i want that background color of right content go to the end of page but text is in container. Any suggestion?
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="left_sidebar">
menu
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<div class="right-content">
content
</div>
</div>
</div>
Its simple, wrap the colored containers above the container class and use two different containers:
<div class="left_sidebar">
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-3">
menu
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="right-content">
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-9">
content
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a working Fiddle
REMOVED other edits because EDIT 3 should do the trick best
EDIT 3
Here it is, that must be it for sure now. The trick is done with a linear gradientand a custom container above your bootstrap container.
See Fiddle
What you're asking, is by default impossible, since the .container class has a set width on different viewports and it is also horizontally "centerised" by margin:auto.
To achieve what you are trying you will have to follow a different "logic".
I would propose something like this:
<div class="left-sidebar col-md-3">
<div class="sidebar-menu col-xs-6 pull-right">
menu
</div>
</div>
<div class="right-content col-md-9>
<div class="content-text col-xs-10>
content
</div>
</div>
I propse this solution in order to stay in the same "flow" as your code. You could also, just play with paddings, which makes more sense.
use class row before col div
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md6"></div>
<div class="col-md-6"><div>
</div>
Is it possible to pad Twitter Bootstrap columns without breaking the grid? I'm building a design that is centred around 'boxes'.
I have done a fiddle of 3 examples: http://jsfiddle.net/w7zS3/1/
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4 box">content...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 box">content...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 box">content...</div>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box">content...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box">content...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box">content...</div>
</div>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box-padded">content...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box-padded">content...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box-padded">content...</div>
</div>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="row box">
<div class="col-xs-6">
header: logo
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
header: ad banner
</div>
</div>
</div>
The first is the most semantic but adding a background colour bleeds into the padding creating the illusion of one 'box'.
Throwing another div in there with a background works well, but the text touches the edge of the box which doesn't look very nice.
On the third example i've padded the div and whilst it works it technically breaks Twitter Bootstraps design pattern... if i was to say, nest a grid it wouldn't work due to the padding up taking up space.
This also causes problems on boxes where i don't need padding (4th example on the fiddle) for instance: i'm adding a header in the first 6 columns and a banner ad in the other 6 columns.. but i want the whole header section to be in the same background color (ie.. no space between grids)... I can't add padding as it will break the grid and adding a background colour bleeds into the padding and look wider than the rest of my padded grids. (hope this bit makes sense)
Is there a correct way to get around this?
I typically use columns within columns to provide an effect similar to padding.
Instead of
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box">content...</div>
</div>
Try this:
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="box row">
<div class="col-xs-1"></div>
<div class="col-xs-10">content</div>
<div class="col-xs-1"></div>
</div>
</div>
See the change in your second row: http://jsfiddle.net/w7zS3/3/
(I modified the background color to red to make it easier to see the difference between the background and the boxes)
In the code below the span #2 appears below span #1, despite the fact that the number of columns is the same as in the parent span (10). This is because of the border on the nested row (class="row well").
Is there an elegant way to apply border to the nested row without pushing the contents down.
I suppose applying top/left/bottom/right borders on the nested spans depending on their location and applying box-sizing: border-box would help, but then there will be problems when reducing the width of the browser and also this would be an ugly solution.
<div class="row">
<div class="span2"> left menu </div>
<div class="span10">
<div class="row well">
<div class="span5" style="background-color: #aca">
#1
</div>
<div class="span5" style="background-color: #aac">
#2
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
dont put the well on the row, make it its own container..
<div class="row">
<div class="span2"> left menu </div>
<div class="span10">
<div class="well">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6" style="background-color: #aca">
#1
</div>
<div class="span6" style="background-color: #aac">
#2
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I replaced the class="row" with class="row-fluid" because the "row" class uses strict widths, while the "row-fluid" class uses percentages and will keep the "span6" classes side by side even though there's extra padding and borders added to its parent.
