Bootstrap Jumbotron not becoming full width of Body - html

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% }

Full screen image within smaller container

I've been trying all sorts of solutions offered here and other places, and none of them seem to work. I'd like to have an image take up the full width of the browser window, no matter the size (height scaled proportionally). But I need to place this image within a smaller container <div>, as it's part of dynamic content (the body of a blog post). I'm using bootstrap, but I don't think this problem is unique to the framework. Code:
<div class="container">
<div id="content" class="col-md-8">
{dynamic content in here}
<!-- still part of blog post -->
<div class="large"><img src...></div>
{more content}
</div>
</div>
CSS:
div.content { width: 70%; }
div.large img { width: 100%; }
If I put <img src="..." class="large"> inside the container div, it will, of course, be the size of that <div>. If I manually set the width of the image to, say, 1900px, it extends far out to the right of the main content, and I have to experiment to find an appropriate negative margin-left to center the image (margin: 0 auto doesn't center it). And of course that only works on a pixel-specific size. As soon as the window size changes, that code breaks.
If I set position: absolute;, the image appears on top of any following content, which isn't the behavior I want. I also tried this javascript using jQuery:
<script>
$("div.large img").css("width", $(window).width);
</script>
As well as a version without jQuery that iterates over the results of document.getElementsByClassName().
None of these approaches seem to give the results I want. Opening and closing the container would be a Bad Idea(tm), as this would break the isolation between the static layout and dynamic content, and so break the whole site if the static part of the layout changes and the blog posts aren't all manually updated.
It works for me with position absolute
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body{
margin: 0;
}
div#small{
width: 200px;
background-color: green;
}
div#fullscreen{
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
background-color: red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="small">
i am a small div inside your browser window
<div id="fullscreen">
i got the same width as your browser window
</div>
</div>
<div id="small">
i am a small div inside your browser window
</div>
</body>
</html>
I think you'll need to do something like this...
<div class="container">
<div id="content">
<div class="col-md-8 etc..."></div>
{ content in here}
</div>
<!-- still part of blog post -->
<div class="large"><img src...></div>
<div class="col-md-8 etc..."></div>
{more content in here}
</div>
</div>
</div>
Set the .container to 100%, the content to 70% and the .large to 100% too

When Zooming out my website, everything looks wrong

If you zoom out my website, the structure of the header looks bad. I don't know what to do about this. This is the link of my website. This is the CSS and HTML structure. Hope you can help me, I really need help :(
If you want you header to stay in the centre with your content, you will need t do that, it doesn't just happen.
You should start by agreeing on a width you want you content in (you have width: 1100pxon your container div, so I'll go with that for you.)
In you css for .containerchange width: 1100px; to max-width: 1100px.
Then in the css for #header remove the position: absolute;. Add in max-width: 1100px; margin: 0 auto;
You will need to modify the structure of your HTML and place the header div inside the container div. Currently, that part of your HTML is like this:
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="container">
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="navigationposition"></div>
<div id="position"></div>
</div>
but it should be like this instead:
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="navigationposition"></div>
<div id="position"></div>
</div>
After modifying your HTML, you can add the following CSS to your stylesheet:
#header {
margin-left: -100px;
}
your header is positioned absolute
so when you zoom in and out it will stay absolute positioned. In the top left corner when the page is zoomed out
Also you do not have a wrapper for your code.... you may want to wrap everything in a container,
This will also take care of the image size thats over lapping your other content.
I do not know id you wanted the header to overlap like that but if it was intended just use margin-left
a wrapper will also contain your other divs sizes to stay within that wrapper.
Not going to work with zooming in and out
#header {
position:absolute;
z-index:101
}
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="underheader">
</div>
</div>
</body>
css
#wrapper{
width:800px;
} or whatever width you want
#header{
maegin-left:50px;
} or whatever px you desire

bootstrap giving extra width on left hand side

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;
}

Bootstrap - default width extended slightly to the right

I'm having this strange behavior of Twitter Bootstrap. I have a full-width layout which I divide a row into an 8:4 grid ratio.
Now, it happens to me that there is a little bit of the width being extended to the right, causing the horizontal scroll bar to appear. The extending bit is just around 20px, but I can't seem to find where it comes from.
I tried to set any possible padding to 0px to my html and body tag, but there's no luck.
Screenshot:
EDIT:
Some code, though I'm pretty sure you will not find anything interesting, quite a basic code.
HTML:
<body>
<div class="row">
<div id="left-pan" class="col-md-8">
<div id="control">
Lorem
</div>
</div>
<div id="right-pan" class="col-md-4">
Lorem
</div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/default.js"></script>
</body>
CSS:
html, body {
background-color: darken(#slate, 10%);
font-family: 'Carme', sans-serif;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.row {
height: 100%;
}
#left-pan {}
#right-pan {}
I could be wrong but using the Twitter bootstrap requires you wrap all "rows" in a container... see this link here
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid
I created a jfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/JgPaa/4/ with your code ..note if u remove the container you get the effect you mention...the scroll bars ..with the container ...no scroll bars. Now the container will not go full width because its padded..you can tweak that yourself via custom css.
from the bootstrap css
container{padding-right:15px;padding-left:15px;margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto}
Does that cover it?

div being pushed down in Firefox

Please check out this website --> http://justicecup.radiantwebtools.com/
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.
