I am creating my first site using bootstrap, and as its a joomla site its version 2.3
I am having some problems getting going
here is the code so far:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row logobar">
<div class="span12">
<div class="logoholder">
<img src="templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/images/open-plan-design-logo.jpg" alt="Open Plan Design Logo " />
</div>
</div>
<!-- row --></div>....
and the css
body {
background:#231f21;
background-color:#DCDBDB;
color:#fff;
}
.container {
background-color:yellow;
}
.logoholder{
width:499px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.logobar {
margin-bottom:20px;
background-color:green;
}
At reduced screen widths everything looks fine - the image is centered, and reduces in size
However, at full width the image is not exactly centered, and there is an odd bit of green (from .logobar) sticking out at the left. If I take out the .row then the green disappears but of course nothing is resonsive
I guess I am doing something wrong...
you can see what I mean here www.opd.ee-web.co.uk
You need to change your row to row-fluid which will remove this negative margin.
<div class="row-fluid logobar">
Documentation [1].
More info [1].
The elements with .row have a negative margin applied to ensure and contained .span elements are correctly aligned.
You can remove this negative margin with some custom css, but that is likely to cause more problems.
The ideal solution is to simple move the logobar to the span level.
<div class="span12 logobar">
Add following code in your custom css file
body .row{
margin-left:0 !important;
}

I am using bootstrap 3 to design a HTML page and right now I am facing a problem. I want my div tag container to take 100% height of the browser window but using CSS only (no javascript).
I went through lots of questions in stack overflow itself but couldn't find a solution that could help me. I don't want to use vh, as when you resize your window it wont work properly or wont show the container properly and I have 5 div tag containers and want every container to be the same size of the browser window.
p.s I don't think html or css is required as it can be answered without the code.
Is this what you want?
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#thediv{
min-height:100%;
min-width:100%;
background-color:red;
display:flex;
align-items:stretch;
position:relative;
}
.interiordiv{
background-color:blue;
width:50px;
margin:15px auto 15px auto;
}
<div id="thediv">
<div class="interiordiv">A</div>
<div class="interiordiv">V</div>
<div class="interiordiv">C</div>
<div class="interiordiv">D</div>
<div class="interiordiv">E</div>
</div>
If not please try to make it clearer, if you don't want to post code that's ok but post a mockup image or something.
All that is required is to set the 'min-height' CSS attribute of the Div you wish to re-size:
<div style="min-height: 100%"></div>
Ensure your html & body tags have a height of 100% also.
Here you go.. as you said you are using bootstrap, you might override the row class and achieve this easily.
.row{
height:100%;
}
<div class="row bg-success"></div>
<div class="row bg-danger"></div>
<div class="row bg-warning"></div>
<div class="row bg-info"></div>
<div class="row bg-primary"></div>
Here are the screen sizes I tested it with.
THESE TWO WERE FULL SCREEN DESKTOPS
THESE WERE NON-FULL SCREEN BROWSER
THESE WERE IPHONE RESOLUTION IN PORTRAIT MODE
THESE WERE IPHONE RESOLUTION IN LANDSCAPE MODE
Hi I am trying to fix my Jumbotron to be full width of the screen but somehow it need a 15px padding-left, padding-right. If I remove the padding the horizontal scrollbar appears with a 30px right margin. I am using the default Bootstrap ver 3.0.3 and default VS2013 layout. As per this link I removed the Jumbotron outside all .container my page looks sth like this
<body>
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">.... Navigation stuff</div>
<div class="jumbotron specialjum">
<div class="over container body-content">
....page headers and other stuff
</div>
</div>
<p class="just container body-content">
... body text
</p>
</body>
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
body {
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
/*background:url("../Images/ps_neutral.png") repeat;*/
}
/* Set padding to keep content from hitting the edges */
.body-content {
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
.just {
text-align: justify;
}
.specialjum {
background: url('http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/339/7/1/princess_kenny_korosu_by_theshadowstone-d6wu2zo.png') center;
color:#fff;
background-size: cover;
}
Edit:
Firefox + Chrome + IE10 results ===|================|===
Any Ideas on how to fix the layout? I haven't touch the Bootstrap CSS which I updated using Nuget.
Just to share my experience after creating an MVC web application in Visual Studio 2013 I could not get the jumbotron to stretch the width of the screen no matter what I did. I ultimately found that it was being blocked by a default **container body-content tag on the Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml page. After removing the tag it displayed correctly. Hope that helps anyone with a similar situation to mine.
The solution was simple. This is how I div it:
<body>
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">.... Navigation stuff</div>
<div> <===================this Div wrapping jumbotron
<div class="jumbotron specialjum">
<div class="over container body-content">
....page headers and other stuff
</div>
</div>
<p class="just container body-content">
... body text
</p>
</div>
</body>
No changes to any part of the CSS. I don't know why it works, but it just works.
If you're just trying to remove the padding, then you'll want to put padding:0; in your .specialjum and make sure that the custom stylesheet is called after bootstrap. Otherwise add padding:0!important; if it needs to be called before. Also repeat this for margin-right: and add in width:100%; if it isn't stretching to the width of the page which I believe it should already.
See this jsFiddle
For anyone else that may end up here I have an alternative solution. I ran into this problem, but I just couldn't take my Jumbotron outside of it's container. What I did is just wrapped it in a <div class="row"></div>.
I'm still learning bootstrap so I don't know if this will cause any problems down the road, but for now it works pretty good.
In order to make the jumbotron full width, and without rounded corners, place it outside all .containers and instead add a .container within.
Another option in _Layout.cshtml (Where "Home" is the page you want to be full width):
#if (ViewData["Title"].Equals("Home"))
{
#RenderBody()
}
else
{
<div class="container container-main">
<main role="main">
#RenderBody()
</main>
</div>
}
Change width of .container to 100%:
container { width: 100% }

The section underneath the nav/logo/social-media area is further apart in Firefox as opposed to Chrome/Safari (the desired separation).
The issue seems to have to do with this part of the HTML:
<div class="header-container">...</div> <!--- Okay... --->
<div class="row content"> <!--- DevTools shows this the right underneath the header area...okay, thats correct --->
<div class="width-container">...</div> <!--- on Chrome/Safari it's good. On Firefox, this is pushed down further....why? --->
</div>
I have tried giving the header area some css to work against this, to no avail
.header-container { overflow:none;}
This screenshot shows the difference too --> http://screencast.com/t/CrF9HEaki
Thanks for your help.
I think the issue might have something to do with collapsing margins.
One fix for the issue, is to change the two rules below:
#template .content .story-primary {
margin-top: 28px;
}
#template .content .story {
margin-top: 62px;
}
to:
#template .content .story-primary {
padding-top: 28px;
}
#template .content .story {
padding-top: 62px;
}
Your page layout is quite complex and I think part of your problem stems from using .width-container in two unsuitable places. I've been fiddling with the css using the browser's inspect element, however when I change the styling in one it cascades to the other. I think a redesign of your page would be helpful. I would suggest enclosing the whole page content (excluding the background) in a div and applying the width-container styling to that.
<div id="body">
<div class="width-container">
<div id="templatewrapper"> ... </div>
<div id="templatefooter"> ... </div>
</div>
</div>
Next you should rename the width-container around the header stuff to something more appropriate.
<div id="page-header">
<div class="logo"> ... </div>
<div class="rwtmodule navigation-module meganav"> ... </div>
<div class="social-media"> ... </div>
</div>
After doing this you should replace the float:left; on the logo, navigation and social media to display:inline-block and get rid of the various margins. Then apply a padding or margin to the #page-header to push them down. The .logo and .social media will be in the wrong place but you can use position:relative and top:/*some value*/ to correct this.
After doing this, the site should look like the current firefox version in both firefox and chrome. You can then move the main body of the page up using relative positioning as you did with the logo and social media.
Remember to test this out in a safe location first!
Hope this helps.
I am having trouble making the <h2 class="feature_description_content"> vertically align with the image to it's left. You can see that it's quite a bit lower than the top of the image, and I can't seem to find the css that is responsible for it.
Here's an image:
Here is the code:
<div class="feature feature-item-248">
<img class="main" src="http://www.bolistylus.com/wp-content/uploads/uclaproduct.png" alt="" /></p>
<div class="feature_description">
<div class="feature_description_header">
<h2 class="descript-heading">PERFECTLY WEIGHTED</h2>
</div>
<div class="feature_description_content">
<p>Touch screens have simplified technology, but there has yet to be a way to capture the precision of a calligrapher or the stroke of an artist. Not only should it meet your needs, but a stylus should have style.</p>
</div></div>
</p></div>
Thanks
This issues is must be due to default margin and padding of default HTML elements you must try out by setting
h2
{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
and then change padding as required
Set its margin-top: 0; - simple :)
The image suppose to be floated to the left and cleared both ways, so text can be aligned properly...
img .main {
float: left;
clear: both;
}
I am trying to create a 4 column <div> layout.
Why are the row containers not drawing a border around the respective row?
Also, is this a good approach, as in is my css written well to be fluid and for dynamic resizing of the browser window?
Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated.
Here is my current attempt.
You need to set the overflow to auto when using float. http://jsfiddle.net/gJJHs/
The problem seems to be that you are floating your columns, and when you float things, they take up effectively zero space.
I think the solution is to cancel the float in you "last" class and add a "dummy column" to each row.
This CSS seems to work:
.col
{
float: left;
width: 25%;
}
.last{
clear: left;
}
.row{
border: 1px solid green;
}
Revised HTML (with dummy last column):
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1</div>
<div class="col">2</div>
<div class="col">3</div>
<div class="col">4</div>
<div class="last" />
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">5</div>
<div class="col">6</div>
<div class="col">7</div>
<div class="col">8</div>
<div class="last" />
</div>
When an element is floated, its parent no longer contains it because the float is removed from the flow. The floated element is out of the natural flow, so all block elements will render as if the floated element is not even there, so a parent container will not fully expand to hold the floated child element.
As such, the border will seem like it is not bordering anything :( Take a look at the following article to get a better idea of how the CSS Float property works:
The Mystery Of The CSS Float Property
As others have said, if you add overflow: auto; to your .row class, it'll take care of the problem. Here's another article that explains why to use overflow.

I hope this helps.

it's the float left. That takes the divs "out of flow" and it's drawing the border around empty space essentially
Yet another option, in addition to the other answers, is to add overflow: hidden; to your .row.
The reason for the behavior you saw is that float takes the div outside of the normal flow. The div then essentially takes up no space in the document.
This makes sense if you think about the ostensible purpose of floating an image in order to wrap text around it. The next p tag (for example) is positioned as if the floated image wasn't there, i.e. overlapping the image. Then, the browser wraps the text within the 'p' tag around the image. (If the floated image was not "removed from the flow", the p tag would naturally appear below the image—not giving the desired effect.)
Here's how I'd write the code.
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1</div>
<div class="col">2</div>
<div class="col">3</div>
<div class="col">4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">5</div>
<div class="col">6</div>
<div class="col">7</div>
<div class="last">8</div>
</div>
CSS:
.col
{
float: left;
width: 25%;
}
.row{
border: 1px solid green;
overflow: hidden; /* "overflow: auto;" works just as well instead */
width:100%; /* Helps older versions of IE */
}
Add a "float:none;clear:both" to your .row and you'll see the rows appropriately. But for the fluid behavior and design that you are looking for, you'll want to apply some javascript (like jQuery Equal Height: http://www.jainaewen.com/files/javascript/jquery/equal-height-columns/) to be consistent across browsers without a ton of CSS hacking.
