Bootstrap row aligning issue - html

Question

The following is my HTML:
<div class=container">
<div class="row">
<h2 class="text-center">Enter your name below</h2>
<div class="col-md-6 center">
<img class="profile-picture" ng-src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png" src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 center">
<h3>Profile name: N/A</h3>
<h3>Status: Waiting for user input</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
My css is the following (along with bootstrap):
.profile-picture
{
max-width: 200px;
max-height: 200px;
}
.center
{
margin: 0 auto;
float: none;
}
This produces the following output:
The way I want it to display is as shown below:
How can I achieve this? Shouldn't they get displayed on the SAME line seeing as they are part of the same row? Each has a length of 6 so why don't they horizontally align?

Answer 1

The problem is you're removing the necessary float on the columns (by setting float:none to .center). Remove that .center class altogether, it's not needed. You are also missing row divs...
Note, I added a row around the the h2 tag as well. For ease-of-use and proper formatting, that tag needs to be wrapped as well. Helps keep the formatting in check. ;)
Also, you shouldn't have two <h3> tags one after another like that. Use <p> instead of the second h3 - or better yet, just use one <h3> tag and use <br /> to break the one h3 into two lines (see below).
<div class=container">
<div class="row">
<h2 class="text-center">Enter your name below</h2>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<img class="profile-picture" ng-src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png" src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h3>Profile name: N/A <br />
Status: Waiting for user input</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Never apply any styles or classes to elements with grid classes, if you're not really know what you are doing. Use a nested div instead if you need to change something:
<div class=container">
<h2 class="text-center">Enter your name below</h2>
<div class ="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class ="center">
<img class="profile-picture" ng-src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png" src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class ="center">
<h3>Profile name: N/A</h3>
<h3>Status: Waiting for user input</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

With Bootstrap, you have to include a div with an class of row, so something like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 center">
<img class="profile-picture" ng-src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png" src="../Content/images/default-avatar.png">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 center">
<h3>Profile name: N/A</h3>
<h3>Status: Waiting for user input</h3>
</div>
</div>
See Bootstrap's documentation on their grid system.
