I know Bootstrap is design mobile first. I wonder if the possible layout is possible with just Bootstrap's CSS classes?
Figure A on size col-md or larger
And when screen is col-sm or col-xs, go to B or C. (2 different solutions).
I'm looking for the correct div layouts for A->B and A->C.
The heights for each section are random because the content generated in them will be dynamic. I added heights in the divs just for filler, but they will be dynamic and can't be set.
The following DOES NOT work...
Fiddle ... https://jsfiddle.net/s4jj30wf/
<div class="row">
<div style="background:blue" class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">
<div style="height:100px"></div>
</div>
<div style="background:yellow" class="col-md-8 col-xs-12">
<div class="row">
<div style="background:green" class="col-md-12 col-xs-12">
<div style="height:20px"></div>
</div>
<div style="background:pink" class="col-md-12 col-xs-12">
<div style="height:100px"></div>
</div>
<div style="background:red" class="col-md-12 col-xs-12">
<div style="height:100px"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="background:orange" class="col-md-4 col-md-pull-4 col-xs-12">
<div style="height:50px"></div>
</div>
</div>
Solution: There are 2 ways based on if the columns have static height or dynamic height. If they have static height then we have a pure css solution using the float and clear property as well as margin-top property to achieve this.
Sample pure css with fixed height of columns:

If the height is not fixed and dynamic then we will need use of jquery to adjust the margin-top property in order to dynamically kill the gap between the mis-aligned 2 elements based on A->B and A->C scenario. We will be using the default jquery and modernizr js for this simple solution.

Hope this helps.
I think what you maybe looking for is column ordering where you can .push-md- and .pull-md-
In document there is some flow of elements, you can't just mix them as you like unless you position them absolutely.
Using only bootstrap classes, I think the only way how to do that is to duplicate the content - you will have all A, B and C in the page and based on screen size display the one you want - using classes visible-xs, hidden-sm etc.
But duplicating content is usually not wise idea.

If I have a scenario using Bootstrap 5 like...
<div class="container">
<div class="row row-cols-auto">
<div class="col">One</div>
<div class="col">Two</div>
<div class="col">Three</div>
</div>
</div>
All columns currently take whatever width their content needs.
I want column two to be as wide as it can be without interfering with the display of columns one and two.
Is this possible with Bootstrap alone or would I need to rely on additional CSS styling?
Just found the answer. Make all columns EXCEPT the one I want to take up all the space col-auto. Make that one class="col".
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-auto">One</div>
<div class="col">Two</div>
<div class="col-auto">Three</div>
</div>
</div>
(There's a similar question here, but I am too much of a noob yet to translate this onto Bootstrap)
What I want is to have an area on the page between "header" and "footer" (let's call it "body"), which may have a
some fixed section, like BS4 "row", put on the top,
some variable content, consisting of several BS "rows", AND aligned
vertically on the middle of what is left of the body (or of the body
itself)
Can it be done in a responsive manner, and without JS (using only Bootstrap 4 CSS) ?
I've tried some stuff:
<body>
<div id="root" class="container">
<div style="height: 100%;">
<div><h1>HEADER</h1></div><hr>
<div style="min-height: 60%;">
<div class="h100">
<div>some badge</div><br>
<div>
<div class="row justify-content-between">
<div class="col-3">Item #2</div>
<div class="col-3 text-right">
<div>some stats</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col text-center"><h3>THIS SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLANK SPACE</h3></div>
</div>
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-4 text-right"><button class="btn btn-link">it's just below and left</button></div>
<div class="col-4 text-left"><button class="btn btn-link">it's just below and right</button></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><hr>
<div class="footer">FOOTER</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
(https://jsfiddle.net/f93mhdbr/) but as long as I add "d-flex" onto "body" div, or any of it's children, all the previous "row"/"col"-based layout turns into horrible mess ! (see https://jsfiddle.net/f93mhdbr/2/)
I suspect this is due to Bootstrap itself using Flexbox for column and rows,
but maybe any solution exists?
I will try to work on improving this question, I know it's very poor, but I right now I am too much in a despair to work it all out...
UPDATE: added links to whatever I was trying to reproduce
You need to use the flex property to achieve it. Using flex-grow here will make your variable element to grow and fill the remaining height of its container, if there is any. Then all is left to do is set align-items-center on the element to align it on the x-axis.
Here is the Fiddle
Please note I added background-colors so it's easier for you to see how much space each element uses, or use an inspector.
You can set any fixed height for the header, footer and content-top. The height of content and content-remaining will adapt responsively, because they have the property flex-grow: 1 set on them. Here's an example.
To explain further, because the container wrap has a min-height: 100-vh, the content element will grow to fill the entire viewport relative to the rest of the flexible items inside the wrap container. The same logic applies to content-remaining, the only difference is that its parent is the content element and not the wrap container.
As last, I added the IE fix for the min-height property on flex-items. It's a known bug and a quick and reliable fix is to wrap it in a separate flex container.
Hopefully this was helpful to you, if you have any questions left please comment on this answer.
I don't know how to make this kind of col 3 and 6 size.
Middle column has no padding, but it is not enough.
I was trying to make different sizes of col.
#media (min-width:992px){
.col-md-6 { width: 52,5641%;}
.col-md-3 { width: 23,7179%;}
}
but no success.
With Bootstrap you dont need to add media queries or your own width, just use the BS grid system (you can read more here) and let it handle all the tough work. Based on your picture a 3 column layout would use something like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
</div>
Make sure you columns total 12 like above (3+6+3) If you need extra padding in between columns just add a nested DIV and apply the spacing you want to those.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="myclass">
this will have extra padding
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
</div>
.myclass {
padding: 20px;
}
Updated
Based on your comment if you want column 6 to be slightly larger than it is you will either need to expand that column and "shrink" the outer 2 columns to something like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">.col-md-2</div>
<div class="col-md-8">.col-md-8</div>
<div class="col-md-2">.col-md-2</div>
</div>
If that's not what you are going for then you can create your own table within bootstrap.
<div class="row">
<div class="custom-col">My custom left side</div>
<div class="custom-main">my main column</div>
<div class="custom-col">My custom right side</div>
</div>
Sizing each of the column as you need.
Maybe Bootstrap is not the best option for your problem. It works if only you can divide the screen in 12 equal parts. Rewrite this rule could break other stuff.
What about using flexboxes or other CSS framework more flexible?
I am using Bootstrap 3, and I have a div:
<div class="col-xs-12 col-lg-3">
</div>
In a certain situation, I want to display this div inside another div with a fixed width:
<div style="width:240px;">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-lg-3">
</div>
</div>
Although the width is 240px it still uses col-lg-3 for the grid. I know if I use an iframe, it will pick the col-xs-12 class, and there is no need for the outer div.
I wonder if there is anyway to force using col-xs-12 in this situation?
If you know when the certain situations appear, can't you just remove the "col-lg-3" class from those specific divs?
I am using bootstrap for making responsive website but when I am giving padding to elements to adjust them in particular column it is breaking in other devices.
I am giving padding in % still it's breaking.
What should I do?
What is the best way to adjust elements within a particular column?
You should keep the grid elements intact. Add children inside them to add padding.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="element-with-padding"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="element-with-padding"></div>
</div>
</div>
