I have a header section in a website which consists of:
Logo
Login, Register buttons
Menu
Language picker
And I want to make them in a single row, but the problem is that they overlap each other when I am resizing the window, specifically the login button overlaps the logo and the language picker overlaps the main menu.
<div id="header-container" class="container">
<div id="header-container-nav" class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-md-3">LOGO</div>
<div class="col-md-1">LOGIN BUTTONS</div>
<div class="col-md-5">MENU</div>
<div class="col-md-1">LANGUAGE</div>
</div>
</div>
Instead of using bootstrap here, I would use flex
I'd use this HTML
<div id="header-container-nav">
<div">LOGO</div>
<div>LOGIN BUTTONS</div>
<div>MENU</div>
<div>LANGUAGE</div>
</div>
and this CSS
#header-container-nav {
display: flex;
}
And now you can adjust the size of each item (check out this article http://javascriptkit.com/dhtmltutors/css-flexbox2.shtml)

Hi I feel dumb for asking the following but im at a loss. I am trying to create the following layout for a website but have not been able to create exactly what I want. I know it should be very simple to do but I'm a developer not a UI / UX wizard.
So im looking to have a side bar on the left with menu items, a top nav (fixed to the top of the page) and a footer fixed to the bottom of the page with the main body of the site scrolling within the area left between the top nav and footer.
There are also pages where I would like the content in the main body to be vertically and horizontally aligned (form input)
Ideally im looking to use bootstrap 5.2 but am not against using css grids or whatever magical methods there may be to get to what im looking to do. I'm also looking to try and make this all responsive hence starting to use Bootstrap I didn't want to have to implement my own media queries to do it.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions, I have been hitting my head against a brick wall with this for far too long and thought I would reach out and see if anyone was able to help.
You have two distinct columns, (1) sidebar and (2) everything else.
Within the main row, we can form the two columns: col-2 and col-10, with the first acting as our sidebar and the other acting as our main column.
In the main column, we add a row and then add to it the nav, main content and footers.
<div class="container-fluid h-100">
<div class="row h-100">
<div class="col-2 bg-dark text-light">
sidebar
</div>
<div class="col-10 bg-light">
<div class="row h-100">
<div class="col-12 bg-primary nav">
nav
</div>
<div class="col-12 main">
<p>1</p>
<div style="height: 5000px;">a</div>
<p>2</p>
</div>
<div class="col-12 bg-primary footer">
footer
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
In the CSS we set the height for the nav and footer, and then use calc() to measure the height our main content should be and set the overflow to scroll to get the scrollbar if the content is larger than the height.
.nav {
height: 60px;
}
.main {
height: calc(100vh - 120px);
background: #f1f1f1;
overflow: scroll;
}
.footer {
height: 60px;
}
I have a two columns layout like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-8 content">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
</div>
</div>
If I set the position:sticky to the sidebar column, I get the sticky behaviour of the sidebar: https://codepen.io/marcanuy/pen/YWYZEp
CSS:
.sticky {
position: sticky;
top: 10px;
}
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-8 content">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 sticky">
</div>
</div>
But when I set the sticky property only to the menu that is located in the sidebar, so the related articles section scrolls normally and gets the sticky behaviour with the menu div, it doesn't work:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-8 content">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="menu sticky">
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is the screencast of the first example scrolling the whole sidebar with a sticky behaviour, and then changing the sticky property to the menu that doesn't work:
Bootstrap 4 recommends the sticky property as the dropped support for the Affix jQuery plugin:
Dropped the Affix jQuery plugin. We recommend using a position: sticky polyfill instead.
I have tested it in:
Firefox 47.0 with css.sticky.enabled=“true” under about:config
Chrome 50.0.2661.94 (64-bit) with experimental Web Platform features enabled in chrome://flags
(This is not a duplicate of How to make a sticky sidebar in Bootstrap? because that one is using BS affix)
In the stable Bootstrap 4.0.0 release, this is done using the sticky-top class...
Demo
<div class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-light navbar-expand">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Header</a>
...
</nav>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-8 content">
Content
</div>
<div class="col-4">
<div class="sticky-top">
<h4>Sticky menu</h4>
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
...
</div>
</div>
This works even in the height of the header/navbar, content, and footer are dynamic/unknown.

I solved enabling flexbox. After raising an issue in Bootstrap's Github repository I got an answer by a Bootstrap member:
The .col-xs-4 isn't as tall as the .col-xs-8, so there's basically no
space for the Menu to "float" within when the stickiness kicks in.
Make the .col-xs-4 taller and things work fine:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/OXzoNJ If you enable the Flexbox version
of our grid system (via $enable-flex: true;), you get automatic
equal-height columns for free, which comes in handy in your case.
Polyfill explanation.
You need to include the JS polyfill in order to use it. The polyfills recommended by the link on the Bootstrap page are
https://github.com/wilddeer/stickyfill
https://github.com/filamentgroup/fixed-sticky
Here is an updated codepen: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/zBpNRk
I included the required polyfill (I used stickyfill) and called it with
var stickyElements = document.getElementsByClassName('sticky');
for (var i = stickyElements.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
Stickyfill.add(stickyElements[i]);
}
The library suggested you use this for your css
.sticky {
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
top: 0;
}
.sticky:before,
.sticky:after {
content: '';
display: table;
}
and finally you had the div order mixed up. You need to put the div with the sticky class outside of an entire row so I filled up the rest of the row with another <div class="col-xs-6"></div> that is empty.
The answer by #wrldbt works up to bootstrap 4 alpha 5, but in alpha 6 the -xs infix has been dropped and the grid have been rewritten.
I put something together, a bit cleaner, working with current version of bootstrap & also included a sticky footer using flexbox.

I have created a Bootstrap carousel, and I am using custom css to define a background image for each of the three slides. For some reason, the background image is not appearing on the first slide, although the background images for slides 2 and 3 are appearing ok. I can't work out what is wrong. I think it may be something to do with the active class being applied just to the first slide?? Here is the HTML and CSS for the first slide, the carousel is called myCarousel, thanks:
HTML:
<!-- class item means item in carousel -->
<div id="slide1" class="item active">
<!--
<img src="http://placehold.it/1200x500">
-->
<h1>HELLO THERE</h1>
<div class="carousel-caption">
<h4>High Quality Domain Names</h4>
<p>Domains that can help your business marketing</p>
</div> <!-- close carousel-caption -->
</div> <!-- close slide1 -->
CSS:
#myCarousel .item { height: 400px; }
<!-- top left is the background position of the image, no repeat because we don't want the background image repeating -->
#slide1 {
background: url('images/carousel_medium_01.jpg') top center no- repeat;
}
Instead of putting your code directly on the <div class="item"> I suggest to make a nested div (replacing the image) and apply a height, width and background-image properties there instead. Like this:
HTML
<div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
<div class="item">
<div class="item-custom first"></div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="item-custom second"></div>
</div>
<div class="item active">
<div class="item-custom third"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.item-custom {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
Then for your .first, .second, and .third classes you can add the background-images you want. That should get you going in the right direction. Hope that helps.
The code above is loading the placeholder background image, but it is only visible behind the h1 element due to the lack of the parent #myCarousel div.
The CSS is looking for the parent div on which to apply the explicit height and width.
Try adding the parent div:
<!-- class item means item in carousel -->
<div id="myCarousel">
<div id="slide1" class="item active">
<!--<img src="http://placehold.it/1200x500">-->
<h1>HELLO THERE</h1>
<div class="carousel-caption">
<h4>High Quality Domain Names</h4>
<p>Domains that can help your business marketing</p>
</div> <!-- close carousel-caption -->
</div> <!-- close slide1 -->
</div>
This allows your height/width properties to be applied, and for the background image to display.
Along with crazymatt's suggestion to organize the nested elements a bit more, you can use the background-size and background-position rules to display the image as needed for each individual slide.
jsfiddle example
I have found the solution by ammending the media queries that the site was using. What I had to do was make sure that I had an explicit media query rule to cover all potential screen widths. In the media queries, I specified the background images for the carousel slides. By doing this, I found I always had the background images correctly populated. Previously, for a certain range of screen sizes, I was just letting default CSS define the background images, and this meant the background image for the first slide didn't show. I guess adding media queries for all possible screen sizes meant there was always a "trigger" to populate the background images.
Thanks also to those who offered a reply.
I'm using the Bootstrap 3 grid to hide/show nav bar content based on whether or not the user is using an extra small device.
I'm using .hidden-xs and .visible-xs classes. These classes appropriately hide/show the content, but I'm running into two problems:
(1) Hiding the content also shrinks the column spacing by .col-xs-5 because the div is hidden. I tried adding .visible-xs to a subsequent div and using .col-xs-5 to make up the empty space. This works, but only if I place content inside the divs. I just want the columns to be spaced out.
(2) On XS view size, the final item on the Nav bar "Nav" jumps to the next row. I have only accounted for 12 total columns.
See this JSFiddle. I'm trying to nly show "Welcome" on large view and show nothing on XS view.
I here's an idea, you can try instead of adding content. This CSS trick uses :before and :after CSS pseudo-classes.
.no_content {
display: block;
content: "";
width: 151px;
height: 35px;
background: transparent url(tape.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
}
<div class="no_content"></div>
I would look at the grid system further. I believe there is an offset that you can use to offset the div like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-5 col-xs-offset-5></div>
<div class="col-xs-2></div>
</div>
Use the pull-right bootstrap class instead of trying to make empty div's fill in the space.
Completely remove the div you added in item (1) to "make up the space". On the div containing "Nav" set the class as pull-right col-xs-1. So the code from your JSFiddle becomes:
<div class="container">
<div class="row" id="header">
<div class="col-xs-5" id="brand-wrapper">
<div class="brand">Brand</div>
</div>
<!-- Hidden on XS Devices -->
<div class="hidden-xs col-xs-5">
<p>
Welcome
</p>
</div>
<!-- Nav -->
<div class="pull-right col-xs-1" id="toggle-wrapper">
<p>Nav</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I am using Zurb Foundation 5 to build a site. My site has a navigation panel against the left side of the screen. When open, I want the nav area to take up 3 columns. The actual content will take up the remaining space. Here is the HTML I have thus far:
<body>
<div style="width:100%; max-width:100%; height:100%;">
<div id="navDiv" class="large-3 columns" style="background-color:#2D2D2D;height:100%;">
<!-- Nav Items Go Here -->
</div>
<div class="large-9 columns">
<!-- Main Content Goes Here -->
</div>
</div>
</body>
Each nav item has an icon and some text. I need to be able to collapse the navDiv in a way that it shrinks down so that only the icons are showing. The text goes away. At the same time, I need the main content area to grow to take up the space that was used by the nav area. I cannot figure out how to do this in the realm of zurb. From what I can tell, the grid is not dynamic. Is it possible to do what I'm trying with a grid? If so, how?
THank you!
If you want to use Foundation (with jQuery dependency) and no other add-ons, you can use a jQuery event handler to toggle the classes used by Foundation. It feels like a hack, but it works.
HTML
<body>
<button>Toggle sidebar</button>
<div class="row">
<div id="navDiv" class="small-2 medium-1 columns">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/48"><span>Item 1</span>
</div>
<div id="content" class="small-10 medium-11 columns">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS
.small-2 span {
/* Hide text when sidebar is small */
display: none;
}
JavaScript + jQuery
$(function() {
$('button').click(function() {
// Resize sidebar
var navDiv = $('#navDiv');
navDiv.toggleClass('small-3');
navDiv.toggleClass('small-2');
navDiv.toggleClass('medium-2');
navDiv.toggleClass('medium-1');
// Resize content
var content = $('#content');
content.toggleClass('small-9');
content.toggleClass('small-10');
content.toggleClass('medium-10');
content.toggleClass('medium-11');
});
});
