Bootstrap page body child rows are pushing beyond parent - css

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 .

How to remove or hide a div(or div class) but not its content with twitter-bootstrap

This is an easy question. But what I want to know is: Is there a way to delete a div without removing its content USING bootstrap? I can also refactor the question to: Is there a way to delete a div CLASS dynamically with Bootstrap?
My code is simple:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
<div class="col-md-8">
GOOGLE MAP
</div>
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
</div>
</div>
I know there already exists a way to make it visible and or hide it (hidden-phone ..), but what I want to do is actually remove the container, the row and the cols and leave the google map to fill the whole width.
What I have right now is:
<div class="container hidden-phone">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="googleMap"> ... </div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
</div>
</div>
And then, right after that, I add the div of the google map again. But instead of hidden-phone, now:
<div class="googleMap visible-phone"> ... </div>
This way, when you switch to a phone, the container and separations of the map with the screen are none.
This is the easiest way, but it seems a little unpractical, because maybe I don't see one, but it is there, so I'm downloading the map into the client twice, I believe that is not clever.
I could always use JavaScript(jQuery) to listen to the event of resizing and remove it my self.. That is not a problem at all, but maybe bootstrap has a build-in functionality already, something like a data attribute like "data-hidden-phone-class='someClass'", or maybe a class that hides some classes when resizing like: "hidden-classes-phone" this way when the screen resizes to a phone one, boostrap would hide all the classes of that element? Or something.
I know the names for attributes and classes are not attractive, but is for the purpose of the question.
I hope I made myself clear enough, let me know if you don't understand something, thanks!

Foundation 5 div heavy

I have started work on a new project and decided to give Foundation 5 a bash to see what it's like. The first thing I noticed in the documentation when creating forms with horizontal fields is they use a large number of divs for styling. So I tried an example below (second example I tried it without divs):
<!-- Example with extra divs -->
<div class="row">
<div class="large-2 columns">
<label>Contact</label>
</div>
<div class="large-6 columns left">
<select></select>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Example without extra divs -->
<div class="row">
<label class="large-2 columns">Contact</label>
<select class="large-6 columns left"></select>
</div>
These both achieve the same thing with slightly different styling. I was wondering if anyone could explain why I would use the first one (follows foundation documentation) and not the other ... with less html! I am guessing it has something to do with how foundation is used and I am just not up to speed with it enough yet.
Thanks
Having <label> in <div> will give you lot of flexibility in styling. Defining a class for <label> will restrict your styling options. For a <div> you can define height, background color, border, width, background image, gradient fill, margins, padding, and lot more. Whereas giving <label> a class name would not let you do those styling. You could try it.
Basically, a <div> works as a box or container holding some content element in it, and that gives you lot of power and flexibility in styling. Whereas defining classes for content element doesn't give you that flexibility and power.

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>

Blueprint CSS boxes

I am currently testing out Blueprint to create the layout for a site. So far it has been going great, but now I've run into a problem I'm wondering if there is any elegant solution to.
I am using the default 24 column layout and have a situation where I would like to do something similar to:
<div class="span-8 box">..</div>
<div class="span-8 box">..</div>
<div class="span-8 box last">..</div>
Problem is that the box-class adds a padding which causes the three div's to not fit into the 24 columns.
One "solution" is to use span-7 instead for all three, but this doesn't fill the entire width.
Any ideas?
You can use the class this way:
<div class="span-8">
<div class="box">..</div>
</div>
<div class="span-8">
<div class="box">..</div>
</div>
<div class="span-8 last">
<div class="box">..</div>
</div>
You could change the "span-7" css rule:
...
.span-7 {width:274px;}
...
And change the divs to "span 7".
Simplest thing I could think of :)
