Bootstrap panel header and body shorter than panel - css

I'm using bootstrap panels for the first time, and my panel header and panel body are shorter than my panel which looks a bit strange. I'm a bit stuck as to what's actually happening as the bootstrap styling is being called.
Code below:
<div class="software well row hidden">
<div class="info">
<div class="panel panel-success">
<div class="panel-heading"><h3>This INSERT NAME is available to download!</h3></div>
<div class="panel-body">
Or if you've tried that and experienced issues then please fill out the additional info box below and a member of the service desk will be in touch.

From the Comments:
Hmm. I [can't reproduce](https://jsfiddle.net/pbdevch/6t9afwdu/) the error in a JSFiddle. Look if your CSS is overwritten by some theme or by your own styles.
Response:
#chade that was it thanks - it was a css style that was overwriting my panel and not my panel-heading as I was expecting!

Stopping CSS inheritance within an element

I can see lots of answers for this but not quite the right solutions..
Essentially i'm displaying numerous emails in a thread (looks like iMessage a bit) on a page. The messages are looped within a repeated element, with the HTML email displayed inside it.
I have no control over the HTML in the email content as it could be from anywhere.. the problem is that the HTML in the email is inheriting CSS styling from the page style sheets.. this is making it all look weird..
I can't overrule the CSS with a more specific CSS, as there could be any classes or id's coming in the email that match those in the main style sheet..
I've tried adding all:initial to the wrapper div like this:
div.sentMsgBody *{
all: initial !important;
}
This however seems to override any styles that comes with the email and so looks really naff..
Anyone got any ideas how to display the email content with its own HTML without taking on the main styles?
Thanks!!
Addition:
I've been asked to show my code, though that's quite tricky...
there's loops of a certain div in the page like this:
<div id="page">
<div class="sentMsgBody"></div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"></div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"></div>
</div>
Of course each loop of this div could have any HTML at all as its showing emails...
eg:
<div id="page">
<div class="sentMsgBody">
<div class="Header">My Email</div>
<div class="Main">This is my email body</div>
<div class="Footer">Email Footer</div>
</div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"> ... ... </div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"> ... ... </div>
</div>
Here the Header and Footer etc may take css from the main page...
I thought about iFrames but they are messy, i don't know how big the content will be for each one, are a bugger with being responsive too, and there could be dozens that have to be created dynamically from the content of each div that is loaded by ajax from a handler.

Bootstrap page body child rows are pushing beyond parent

I understand the problem, as described and answered here.
I have quite a complicated layout with a sidebar navigation, a top navigation, a fluid-container and then page-title and page-body structure for each page. So just adding another container did not solve the problem as suggested in that answer.
Once I get into the page-body, all the rows are stretching 'outside' the parent page-body.
Notice I have added padding to the default container-fluid to 'pull' all the content in from each side of the page. Removing them does not fix it.
I've tried every change I can think of except removing the padding from the default row, because I'm pretty sure that is a no-no.
Anyone have any idea how to get those pesky form controls to stay 'inside' the page body?
There is two solution either give an additional class to row and manipulate its layout or don't use row use <div class="col-md-*" /> without parent .row class div as many times u want and use <div class="clearfix"> if you want to break forcefully to next row
EDIT:-
For example
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">div1</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div2</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div3</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">div4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div5</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div6</div>
</div>
The same can be achieved without .row class
<div class="col-md-4">div1</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div2</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div3</div>
<div class="clearfix">div4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div5</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div6</div>
<div class="col-md-4">div1</div>

Hiding and Showing Bootstrap Grid Columns

I'm trying to adapt bootstrap's standard practices to speed up some of my development but have a quick question related to showing and hiding cols.
I have the following simple layout
<div class="row" id="contactGrid">
<div class="col-sm-2">Sidebar</div>
<div class="col-sm-10">Content</div>
</div>
When I use AngularJS to show/hide the Sidebar col I expect the Content col to stretch the entire width of the container but it doesn't it says at 'col-10'. Do I need to programmically change the class/width to col-sm-12 when I hide the sidebar?
Thanks for your help, I'm sure this is an easy one!
The element with the class col-sm-10 will always have 10/12 of the width of it's parent row. Therefore you need to update it on the fly, when your sidebar changes to hidden. As you already use AngularJS you might have a variable defining if your sidebar should be visible or not. This variable may also define your class conditionally for your content div.
<div class="row" id="contactGrid">
<div class="col-sm-2" ng-show="booleanVariable">Sidebar</div>
<div ng-class="{col-sm-10: booleanVariable, col-sm-12: !booleanVariable}">Content</div>
</div>
Daniel,
Your answer is the reason I'm trying to learn the BS/NG style of UI. It's just knowling where the shortcuts begin and end. To polish it off I used a ternary expression in the ng-class. showFilterSidebar is my hide/show variable. Thanks Again!
<div ng-class="showFilterSidebar ? 'col-sm-10' : 'col-sm-12'">
Yes you need to change class to col-sm-12 and hide for col-sm-2 to avoid problems with floatin .

css response displays differently

one issue I don't quite understand.
I made an online sample, when I'm resizing the window, the SPANs response one by one.
Online sample http://jsfiddle.net/Pva7y/1/
Online Images
However, I copied the same code to my local html, the SPANs response just together.
Local Image.
why different? Thanks
HTML:
<div class="row ">
<div class="span7 blue">
1
</div>
<div class="span2 red">
2
</div>
<div class="span3 green">
3
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.blue{background-color:blue;}
.red{background-color:red;}
.green{background-color:green;}
First thing is that you forgot to use container div. Correct pattern is
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="span12">
1 2 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
See corrected jsfiddle (1).
Next, if you want your page to be responsive and fit the layout to the size of the viewport you have to also include bootstrap-responsive.css. See jsfiddle (2). In your local HTML you used either both bootstrap.css and bootstrap-responsive.css or prior files merged to one CSS for reducing client-server requests number.
Your <div>s are floated in your Fiddle, but they are not floated in your local html judging from your screenshot. And since bootstrap.css floats the <div> element with a class of span, I am guessing that bootstrap.css is not loaded properly in your local html file.
A way to troubleshoot your issue is to check the Inspector (if you're using Chrome), or Firebug (if you're using Firefox). Look at the computer style of the three <div>s in your fiddle AND your local html, and compare them. They must have been styled differently because they look different on the same browser, so that's the way to start troubleshooting.

Twitter Bootstrap Responsive issue with span4 tags

I have a demo site which is located here to give you an idea of what's going on. If you scroll to the bottom where you see the 9 individual posts they are all laid out properly. How ever if you shrink the screen to anything less then 1232px's youll see that the 7th post breaks away from the others and shifts down.
Now I am using default styles to align them as such, using row and then span4. Can any one explain why this happens? And any way to fix it?
Your span totals should add up to 12. Your example site however adds up to more than 40! I don't think there is any defined behaviour for what should happen if you don't use it as intended.
From Bootstrap homepage
"The default Bootstrap grid system utilizes 12 columns"
So the total of your spans must add to 12 per row. ie.
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">...</div>
<div class="span8">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span3">...</div>
<div class="span3">...</div>
<div class="span3">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span7">...</div>
<div class="span3 offset2">...</div>
</div>
