I'm trying to create a full screen layout that takes up 100% of the viewport with a sticky header and footer, and individually scrollable columns in the main content area.
I've experimented with using .h-100 and .flex-grow-1 on various rows and columns but I can't quite get it to work. The closest I've come is to add h-100 to the container and the middle row, but that pushes the footer off the bottom of the screen.
<body>
<div class="container-fluid h-100">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 border">Navbar </div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-2 border" style="overflow-y: scroll;">Sidebar </div>
<div class="col-4 border" style="overflow-y: scroll;">Article list </div>
<div class="col-6 border" style="overflow-y: scroll;">Article content </div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 border">Footer </div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
I can get it to work with just a single column, but adding more than 1 column breaks the layout in a way I don't understand.
Make the container d-flex and then use flex-grow-1 to make the content area fill the height. You'll also want to use flex-shrink-0 on the Navbar and Footer so they don't "squish" in height.
<div class="container-fluid h-100 d-flex flex-column">
<div class="row flex-shrink-0">
<div class="col-12 border">Navbar </div>
</div>
<div class="row flex-grow-1">
<div class="col-2 border" style="overflow-y: scroll;">Sidebar </div>
<div class="col-4 border" style="overflow-y: scroll;">
Article list
</div>
<div class="col-6 border" style="overflow-y: scroll;">Article content </div>
</div>
<div class="row flex-shrink-0">
<div class="col-12 border">Footer </div>
</div>
</div>

i am not css developer but i am trying to lean bootstrap usage. so i was reading article from this url http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/overview-of-bootstrap-buttons-and-grid-offset/
i am curious to know how bootstrap offset works?

1)
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3col-md-offset-3 ">
<div class="customDiv">column 1</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="customDiv">column 2</div>
</div>
</div>
how col-md-offset-3 push two column at center. see the screen shot.
2) see this one
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="customDiv">column 1</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-6 ">

</div>
</div>

3) how image comes at center see the code and screen shot
<div class="container">
<div class="row"> <img src="one.png" class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4 img-responsive" /> </div>
</div>
please explain my each points and tell me how offset works in bootstrap. thanks
I'm using Bootstrap v. 4 for the first time.
I have a footer that is using the new flex col's and it works great on desktop. But when I switch to mobile they're stacked so closely to each other there is no vertical margin / padding.
Is this the normal behavior?
Also, I would prefer the content is centered or at least have some offset. But using offset results in top padding instead of left or right offset.
Is that normal behavior?
If so, what would be the recommended, "official", approach to adding top margin/padding on mobile only and offset?
Thank you!

"they're stacked so closely to each other there is no vertical margin / padding"
As already mentioned in the comments, and in other questions, there is no vertical spacing between columns in Bootstrap. However, Bootstrap 4 has spacing utility classes you can utilize to adjust the margins or padding...
For example my-3 will add a top and bottom (y-axis) margin to each column.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm my-3">
</div>
<div class="col-sm my-3">
</div>
<div class="col-sm my-3">
</div>
<div class="col-sm my-3">
</div>
</div>
</div>

See my other answer for more info on the spacing utilities.
I am trying to make a single page full screen layout using Bootstrap 3 where the height of the main body is responsive.
The page is going to be displayed in Kiosk mode displaying 3 panels which display different messages, but as the site is going to be displayed on multiple screens of different sizes I am wanting to get the main to be responsive in height.
https://jsfiddle.net/gokcLvtv/7/
<div class="container">
<div class="row header">
<div class="col-xs-6">
Title
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 text-right">
LOGO
</div>
</div><!-- Header-->
<div class="row main">
<div class="col-xs-8">
<div class="well">Panel One</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="well">Panel Two</div>
<div class="well">Panel Three</div>
</div>
</div><!--main-->
<div class="row footer">
<div class="col-xs-12">© Copyright 2016</div>
</div><!--footer-->
</div><!--container-->
As you can see I have had to specify a height of the main content to get the cols to be 100% and then the .wells inside the column. But I am wanting this to be 100%.
You can use the vw value for horizontal and vertical resizing.
For example
HTML
<div class="main">
<div class="well">
Panel one
</div>
</div>
CSS
.main {
border: 1px solid red;
height: 75vw;
}
.well {
width: 30vw;
height: 30vw;
margin: 1vw;
}
It's easy to translate from px to vw. Every 1 vw is 10 pixels.
Thanks for your help with the vw ... I have managed to achieve this using vh for the height..
I have created an example for anyone who would like to use this in the future - here
Using the same layout
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="well">Header</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- main -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-8 main">
<div class="well">
Main Panel
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 side-bar">
<div class="well">
Side Panel One
</div>
<div class="well">
Side Panel One
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Footer-->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="well">Hello</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You will just have to play around with the heights to get it to the screensize that works for you.
Using Bootstrap, I have a grid column class="col-lg-3" that I want to place it in position:fixed while the other .col-lg-9 is normal position (scroll-able through the page).
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
Fixed content
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
Just the same way like the left column in LifeHacker.com
You will see that the left part is fixed however I scroll though the page.
I use bootstrap v3.1.1
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
<div class="affix">
fixed position
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9">
Normal data enter code here
</div>
</div>
iterating over Ihab's answer, just using position:fixed and bootstraps col-offset you don't need to be specific on the width.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3" style="position:fixed">
Fixed content
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9 col-lg-offset-3">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
Following the solution here http://jsfiddle.net/dRbe4/,
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 fixed">
Fixed content
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9 scrollit">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
I modified some css to work just perfect:
.fixed {
position: fixed;
width: 25%;
}
.scrollit {
float: left;
width: 71%
}
Thanks #Lowkase for sharing the solution.
in Bootstrap 3 class="affix" works, but in Bootstrap 4 it does not.
I solved this problem in Bootstrap 4 with class="sticky-top"
(using position: fixed in CSS has its own problems)
code will be something like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
<div class="sticky-top">
Fixed content
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
Updated for Bootstrap 4
Bootstrap 4 now includes a position-fixed class for this purpose so there is no need for additional CSS...
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
<div class="position-fixed">
Fixed content
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
</div>

Bootstrap 5
The solution is very similar to v4, but you can use responsive variations with .sticky-*-top classes.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3">
<div class="sticky-md-top">
Fixed content
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
Docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/helpers/position/#responsive-sticky-top
Use this, works for me and solve problems with small screen.
<div class="row">
<!-- (fixed content) JUST VISIBLE IN LG SCREEN -->
<div class="col-lg-3 device-lg visible-lg">
<div class="affix">
fixed position
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9">
<!-- (fixed content) JUST VISIBLE IN NO LG SCREEN -->
<div class="device-sm visible-sm device-xs visible-xs device-md visible-md ">
<div>
NO fixed position
</div>
</div>
Normal data enter code here
</div>
</div>
With bootstrap 4 just use col-auto
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-auto">
Fixed content
</div>
<div class="col-sm">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
</div>
If you really want to do it that way, you can't do it in "col- *", because it's going to overlap each other, you should do it in the parent class "row", but depending on what you're doing, you might have a problem with the browser scroll that will be "cut" from the screen, however, is simple to solve, just control the column width and everything will be fine.
<div class="row fixed-top h-100">
<div class="col-lg-3">
Fixed content
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9 overflow-auto h-100">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
Use .col instead of col-lg-3 :
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
Fixed content
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9">
Normal scrollable content
</div>
</div>
