I'm building a JSP component (jsp-tag), which should have a bootstrap look,
because we use Bootstrap on some, not all pages. My component needs only
3 bootstrap classes for buttons (CSS classes .btn, .btn-success, .btn-error),
nothing else.
I would like to have that JSP component as self-contained as possible,
so I don't want to add the 100+KB bootstrap.css within my component,
but only a minimal CSS.
And another reason not to include the big bootstrap.css:
I don't want to change (=destroy) current pages with bootstrap styles.
Can I extract easily the styling for Bootstrap buttons somehow?
I copied and pasted the bootstrap stylings from my Firebug, which
works well on modern browsers (IE9+, FF, Chrome), but not on IE8.
So IE8 uses some CSS stylings that I could not reliably find out.
You can create a custom bootstrap build for yourself via the bootstrap website.
Here's the link.
Just select the components you want and download the generated css file.

I have just recently added links and scripts of Bootstrap v4.5 into my project and noticed that by default it changes all of the text, buttons and styling I have previously done.
I added an bootstrap alert for my authentication however I do not want Bootstrap changing all of my CSS that I have implemented to it's default Bootstrap look.
Is there a way for Bootstrap to not alter the pre HTML and CSS I have created. I am only interested in using the Bootstrap elements I manually include such as the alerts and widgets.
Help is much appreciated.
Thank you!
Put link to your custom script and CSS below the links of bootstrap. The bootstrap CSS will get overridden.
PS: You can also download the customized bootstrap files according to just what you need, check this here
I'm building a browser extension and I want to use bootstrap in it. Problem is the bootstrap css is colliding with the page's css messing up some websites.
Is there a way to separate the content script css from the web page's css? Is there some known solution to this?
You can provide a namespaced version of bootstrap, where global styles are not applied outside a namespace CSS selector.
For generating this you must build bootstrap yourself using SASS.
This answer is a good resume of the procedure: How to namespace Twitter Bootstrap so styles don't conflict
I built a site based off a bootstrap template.
I linked to my own CSS to add my own design touches.
It works in dreamweaver, but when uploaded to the hosting site, the css breaks.
The bootstrap CSS links fine, however my added CSS won't load or apply correctly.
I'm kind of a noob, there may be some very simple thing I'm overlooking.

I'm going to be making changes to Twitter Boostrap to generate my own theme and would like some kind of cheat sheet that shows the results from tweaking the styles and CSS.
Ideally maybe a single web page with all the Twitter Boostrap elements in it would be great instead of the Bootstrap documentation which has them spread out.
Even better would be a page with annotations on the various elements to show the result of your changes to the variables.less file.
Does anyone know of any resources that I should look at? Thanks in advance.
I created Bootply exactly for this purpose. Bootply is a "jsfiddle" style app that lets you edit Bootstrap friendly HTML, JS and CSS. It includes Bootstrap and jQuery for you, and there are also Bootstrap snippets that you can select from the toolbar and paste into the editor. Just click 'Run' to see your results.
Bootply features
Toolbar with all Bootstrap CSS, Components, and Javascript
Name, tag and share working Bootstrap examples
Preview in full screen or mobile/responsive
Include FontAwesome, jQueryUI and other Bootstrap-ready extensions
Test different Bootstrap versions

Also, this test page is useful for seeing all of the available elements at once.
Can I use only some certain elements of bootstrap library? For example, if I import the whole library, my page breaks because of conflicts between my CSS and Bootstrap's CSS; they are overwriting each other's properties.
If possible, I want something like just the button and div styling properties of the Bootstrap library.
You can download whatever you need in the customized download of Twitter Bootstrap page. Just select whatever you need and click on download.
Also you can go to the project official repository, download all the less files, and compile only what is necessary for you, commenting the lines of the files that you don't need in the bootstrap.less file.
Well I suggest you take the specific CSS rules out of the bootstrap CSS file and place them in your own CSS file, because it's kind of useless if you include the whole bootstrap CSS file in your website and then just 1 or 2 CSS rules of it.
You could also try to place the bootstrap CSS file first and then your CSS file after it in the HEAD section of your website. Usually your CSS file will be "more important" and then the specific styles which are applied by bootstrap will be overridden with your own rules.
