In an attempt to learn responsive web design, I am teaching myself how to design with bootstrap. I have created a basic grid; the code for the grid is shown below.
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="span6 red01">span6</div>
<div class="span6 green01">span6</div>
</div>
CSS:
body { padding: 0px; }
.red01 { background: #ff0000; }
.green01 { background: #00ff00; }
I can see the two divs on my web page, but my problem is with how they are aligned. I'd like to align them horizontally across my laptop's screen. I've tried fiddling with this, but can't get it to work. Could anyone please lend their expertise?
Please check this JSfiddle for you
See the result here Result of 2 col
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="span12">
<h1>Bootstrap 12 col spanning full page</h1>
</div>
<div class="span6">
<p> Paragraph test col1</p>
</div>
<div class="span6">
<p> Paragraph test col2.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.container class -> Its a wrapper with fixed width , predefined in bootstrap.css .
.container-fluid -> which is fluid wrapper
.row --> This class is built to contain a row of columns. Each new row creates a new zone for laying out columns as desired.

Responsive web design is working on desktop but not on mobile device

Closed 5 years ago.
Good day,
I have a little gallery section on a web page where I make use of a css grid. it works perfectly fine on a normal web browser and when i scale it down i have managed to have it adjust as i wish using Media Queries (one image after the other), To my disappointment this didn't work when viewing on a mobile devise.
This is my first web site i have created so i expected issues. but I am now stuck on this one.
I need the images to arrange themselves below each other on a mobile browser. How would I go about this? see below html & css, the webpage is redneckrebellion.co.za if you want to see what I'm talking about or see https://codepen.io/underlight/pen/eyYLBa.
<content class="main-body">
<div class="main-content">
<div class="portfolio">
<div class="portfolio-item medium-one">
<div class="description">
<h1 class="text">Coffee Table</h1>
<p class="text">Custom Union Jack Coffee Table</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="portfolio-item medium-two">
<div class="description">
<h1 class="text">Laser Cut Logo</h1>
<p class="text">Redneck Rebellion Laser Cut Logo</p>

thanks!
There are many ways of doing this, and, based on your question, I'm assuming that these divs are being displayed horizontally already? Which means that they are using the display property of inline or inline-block, or, using float already. If you want to have something that will be re-usable (like Bootstrap framework), you can do something like this:
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.medium-one, .medium-two .wide-one .tall .wide-two {
display:block;
}
}
Also, I would highly recommend using a library that is already made for something like this, such as Bootstrap
The simplest way is to surround your .portfolio-item with a media query like this:
#media(min-width: 500px) {
.portfolio-item {
margin: 10px;
box-shadow: 1;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
border: 5px solid white;
border-radius: 3%;
}
}
The grid is a 12-column fluid grid with a max width of 960px, that shrinks with the browser/device at smaller sizes. The max width can be changed with one line of CSS and all columns will resize accordingly. The syntax is simple and it makes coding responsive much easier. Go ahead, resize the browser.
<!-- .container is main centered wrapper -->
<div class="container">
<!-- columns should be the immediate child of a .row -->
<div class="row">
<div class="one column">One</div>
<div class="eleven columns">Eleven</div>
</div>
<!-- just use a number and class 'column' or 'columns' -->
<div class="row">
<div class="two columns">Two</div>
<div class="ten columns">Ten</div>
</div>
enter code here
<!-- there are a few shorthand columns widths as well -->
<div class="row">
<div class="one-third column">1/3</div>
<div class="two-thirds column">2/3</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="one-half column">1/2</div>
<div class="one-half column">1/2</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Note: columns can be nested, but it's not recommended since Skeleton's grid has %-based gutters, meaning a nested grid results in variable with gutters (which can end up being *really* small on certain browser/device sizes) -->
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...

Hi all I'm using this bit of code
<section id="post1">
<div class="container-fluid post-1">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="col-lg-8 oblongbig">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<div class="row">
<div class="=col-lg-6 oblong">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6 oblong">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
to create three boxes, have a look at http://deliciousproductions.com.au
My problem is that the first and larger box is fine but the second two boxes should start after the first col-lg-8, but they just start right up against the large box, as though there's no padding/margin. I added a 10px margin so it's easier to understand. So the col-lg-8 isn't making it's width 8/12's of the screen?
The 2 boxes in rows also aren't responsive, they are but when you make the page smaller this happens: https://gyazo.com/4929147de70b0a88ac54d29f4ff2c243
and then finally: gyazo[.]com/c57374233a4e0f14fc4f757841893cc5
What would you recommend to make it so when the page resizes the 2 smaller boxes resize so they fit next to each horizontally under the larger box. This is for a blog style site btw.
cheers, Nik
here's the css for each box too
.oblongbig {
float: left;
width: 600px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #050505;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: rgba(0,0,0,.2);
margin: 10px;
}
.oblongbig:hover, .oblong:hover {
background-color: #121212;
}
.oblong {
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 150px;
background-color: #050505;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: rgba(0,0,0,.2);
margin: 10px;
}
similar to this: demo
There is some problem with your grid code. Use this one
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div style="height:330px;background:#000;"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div style="height:150px;background:#000;margin-bottom:30px;"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div style="height:150px;background:#000;"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Also don't apply styles directly on grid column. Place content div inside grid column and apply whichever styles you want on that div.
Check out this URL for better understanding of Bootstrap grid system - http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial/bootstrap-grid-system.php
To count a column you need to consider the value of the intervals between them.
Here you can see a visual explanation
There are a couple of issues going on in your code. For Bootstrap columns to work properly, you can't have a column div inside another column div without starting a row. For example, you must format it like this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
</div><!-- .row -->
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4"></div>
</div><!-- .row -->
</div>
In your example you have two nested columns with no row in between. This will mess up your column padding & margins.
Refer to the docs: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-nesting
Next, you're applying your own classes (.oblong, .oblongbig) with set float, fixed width, and margin to the Bootstrap column div. These are overriding the Bootstrap styles and preventing your columns from working properly.
The best idea is to use elements with Bootstrap classes to build your layout, then put elements inside these layout elements with your own custom classes. For example:
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="oblong">Your content here, separate from the Bootstrap element</div>
</div>
Avoid overriding the framework's styles, as this results in confusing code. Once you reformat your code so that columns are correctly nested and you're not overriding the Bootstrap classes with your own custom widths, it should come together how you want.
Hopefully this image explains exactly what I'm trying to accomplish:
Since the blue block represents a simple list, I think it may be easier to just output the block twice, and apply a "desktop-only" and "mobile-only" class, then use that class to dictate visibility, but I was curious to know if the above is possible with pure HTML/CSS out of box for Bootstrap 3?
This should work:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">First</div>
<div class="col-md-8" id="big">Big</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Second</div>
</div>
And CSS:
#media (min-width: 769px) {
#big {
float: right;
}
}
Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/8r4g20cr/1/
I'm not sure if it possible but from your layout you need something like:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="marron"></div>
<div class="blue"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="green"></div>
</div>
</div>
When you the screen resized, the div in rows will be stacked up orderly. I don't think I can reorder it for mobile devices. Stay tune for other opinions.
I'm using bootstrap in my RoR project. I have 2 columns, span3 and span9, which move while resizing the browser window: the span9 falls below and then returns to the side of the other span.
Here is the code, however the displayed result is different for some reason: http://jsfiddle.net/jUJn7/3/
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="span3 well" style="min-height:600px;">
</div>
<div class="span9 well" style="min-height:600px;">
</div>
</div>
I want the 2 spans to stay together in the same line. span3 must have a fixed width of 300px, span9 must adjust itself to the remaining space in the window.
I've tried the solutions in all other related questions with no success, and I've been trying to solve this problem for weeks, so I'll appreciate any help!
Fixed span3 and flexible span9
html:
<div class="row">
<div class="span3 well" style="min-height:600px;">
</div>
<div class="span9 well" style="min-height:600px;">
</div>
</div>
css:
.span3 {
float: left;
width: 300px;
}
.span9 {
margin-left: 350px;
}
