Put spacing between labels - css

I have the following code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Score Content:</label><label id="lbl_lblcontent"></label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
How do I put some padding between the 2 labels using bootstrap. Note that lbl_lblcontent is dynamically created.

In css you could something like this to add 10px padding to the right of only the first label...
.form-group label:first-child {
padding-right: 10px;
}

This is pretty archaic but you can simply add nbsp;'s if you do not want to go the CSS route.
Code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Score Content:</label> <label id="lbl_lblcontent"></label>
</div>
</div>
</div>

How do I align Bootstrap inline form labels that don't have an input with those that do?

When the content is wide enough to have this all on the same row without line breaking (probably need to go full page with the snippet), the right label text is aligned slightly higher than the left label text. I'm trying to get the text of the two labels aligned to the same baseline.
I've tried to use vertical align in various ways, tried to set the height the same as the left on the right group, but I can't get anything to work.
Of course I could just set a fixed margin, but is there a responsive way to do this?
.main {
margin-top: 20px;
}
#left-input {
width: 100px;
}
.vmiddle {
/* does nothing ? */
vertical-align: middle;
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="container main">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 ">
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Left Label:</label>
<input id="left-input" type="text" class="form-control" value="Some Value" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 vmiddle">
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Right Label: Higher</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Since the second one is technically not a label, you can use Bootstrap's Static form control instead. It's designed to align with form-control and .btn elements.
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="container main">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 ">
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Left Label:</label>
<input id="left-input" type="text" class="form-control" value="Some Value" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 vmiddle">
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<p class="form-control-static"><strong>Right Label</strong></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Add a margin utility class that's half the height of Bootstrap's padding.
<style>
.m-t-7 {
margin-top: 7.5px;
}
</style>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="m-t-7">Right Label: Higher</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Yup.
First, give the right label an id so you can select it individually.
<label id="right">Right Label: Higher</label>
then, in your css add:
#right{
padding-top:2px; /*Insert your own value for paddin*/
}
and to make it dynamic, remove the padding when the left label stacks. Find the pixel width of the browser when this happens, and then create a media query for the event:
#media(max-width:300px){
#right{
padding-top:0;
}
}
Another idea which may not be possible in your layout, would be to limit the width of the content so it never gets wide enough for this.
Yes. Just try to remove the margin bottom of the <label>Right Label: Higher</label>. Please leave a comment if this wont work.

Is there any downside to using .row within bootstrap forms?

I understand that bootstrap .form-horizontal is the standard, and causes .form-group to behave like a row.
This means that <div class="row"> is not needed, but what is the downside to building my layout like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<!--Content-->
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<!--Content-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<!--More Content-->
</div>
In this case (without a .form-xx modifier class as an ancestor), .form-group does nothing but add space at the bottom. From BS's CSS:
.form-group {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
You can simply add that class to the row instead to achieve the same result, like:
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-md-6">
<!--Content-->
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<!--Content-->
</div>
</div>

Add gap between two Divs

I have a screen split in two, using two columns.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Left Box
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Right
</div>
</div>
I need a small (approx 10px) gap between the two columns.
http://www.bootply.com/vaOb1WdR5I
Can this be done?
Both boxes would need to reduce by 5 pix (in the above example), as I need the total width to remain.
Edit: Some ideas nearly work, but I am getting an extra Well that I don't want. With this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
#Html.Action("ShowDuePayments", "Transaction")
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
#Html.Action("ShowRecentTransactions", "Transaction")
</div>
</div>
I get this:
The 'under' well div shouldn't be visible.
A couple of points:
You shouldn't add extra classes to the Bootstrap columns (that's not a hard and fast rule, but a good recommendation)
You are missing the container wrap.
Make changes using those rules and it looks like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="well">Left Top Box</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="well">Left Bottom Box</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="well">Right Box</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
How about this?
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6" style='padding-right:5px'>
<div class='well'>
Left Box
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6" style='padding-left:5px'>
<div class='well'>
Right
</div>
</div>
</div>

If you remove the inline styling, you will have the natural spacing provided by bootstrap, which is 15px padding.
You can change the class of col-md-6 and add width:49%, and to the 2nd div add pull-right class like:
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Left Box
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 well pull-right">
Right
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.col-md-6{
width:49%;
}
You can also try to add padding to the two div tags ie:
.col-md-6{
padding:5px;
}
This would add a bit of padding to all the sides - unless you use padding-left & padding-right and assign different class names to the divs - depending on how you want your code to be layed out.
You could also use an additional class so you only modify special column-6 elements and not all on your site. This example also uses percentage based widths as Flopet17s. You could tweak the percentage number to better fit your desired gap width.
.withgap {
width: 49%;
margin-right:1%;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 well withgap">
Left Box
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Right
</div>
</div>

Reduce spacing between rows

I am using Bootstrap grid system. The spacing between rows is too large.
How can I reduce it?
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<h1 id="Heading"> Heading </h1>
<div class="row" style="margin-left:6px;">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div id="rect"> <span id="Heading" style="margin-left:15px;font-weight:bold; font-size: 18pt;color: #2373B3;"> Span </span> </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div id="rect"> <span id="Heading" style="margin-left:15px;font-weight:bold; font-size: 18pt;color: #2373B3;"> Span </span> </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div id="rect"> <span id="Heading" style="margin-left:15px;font-weight:bold; font-size: 18pt;color: #2373B3;"> Span </span> </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div id="rect"> <span id="Heading" style="margin-left:15px;font-weight:bold; font-size: 18pt;color: #2373B3;"> Span </span> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
There are 2 quick solutions possible for this:
Edit bootstrap core css/sass which will be a bad idea as it will affect core functionality of page scaffolding.
Write a separate class and add it in your div for ex:
.row-bottom-margin { margin-bottom:20px; }
and you can use it as
<div class="row row-bottom-margin">
Option 1 is not suggested until unless you are really looking for this change to be applied at all the relevant places and do consider your future designs.
Hope this helps!
Using Bootstrap 4 now you no more need to use any CSS for this as it has utility classes for this purpose.
By default, row elements expands in related to their childs. So your problem is not in .row class but in #rect
On rect element you have a line-height of 1.4 by default bootstrap css. Make it a class rather than id.
You can reduce it to 1.2 for your case...
Do it on a separate css file and overwrite it. That would be a better design for you.
.rect {
line-height: 1.2; // overwrite it on a different css if you prefer
}
In twitter bootstap there is a default margin-bottom:15px property set between rows of the grid system.You can remove this property or overwrite the margin property
<div class= "row marginRow"></div>
Your Css
.marginRow{
margin-bottom:0px !important;
}
or just remove any margin present using
.marginRow{
margin:0px !important;
}

Avoiding automatic margin set in bootstrap span div

I am using bootstrap fluid layout. The layout I desire is as follows:
My html code
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4 well">span4</div>
<div id="h" class="span8 well ">span8</div>
</div>
<div id='calendar' ></div>
</div>
It gives span4 and span8 column in a row for desktop. On a small device, it puts span4 at the top and displays span8 below it. But, when the screen is resized, I wanted to have span8 at the top and span4 below it.
The solution I tried
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div id="h" class="span8 well pull-right">span8</div>
<div class="span4 well ">span4</div>
</div>
<div id='calendar' ></div>
</div>
It works but it gives following layout for big screen. span4 leaves some margin initially which I want to avoid.
How can I do that?
Try adding this style:
#x{
margin-left: 0px;
}
And updating your html to:
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div id="h" class="span8 well pull-right">span8</div>
<div id="x" class="span4 well">span4</div>
</div>
<div id='calendar' ></div>
</div>
The id is just trumping this portion of the Bootstrap css:
[class*="span"] {
float: left;
min-height: 1px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
