I currently have a few buttons on a line that I have horizontally but would like to add margins to push the buttons away from each other.
I was editing my code in a smaller window and the buttons were spaced fine using CSS margins, but when I maximized the window I noticed that the margins between the buttons either pushed some buttons to a new line or pulled them back.
I haven't been able to find a way to set margins for these buttons on the same row in a responsive way so they don't push to a new line or pull back.
Any ideas?
HTML
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-submitpadding">Submit</button>
Select All
Deselect All
<a class="btn btn-info btn-infospacer" role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#helpInfo" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="helpInfo">More Info</a></button>
CSS
.btn-selectspacer {
margin-left: 40em;
}
.btn-infospacer {
margin-left: 2.25em;
}
.btn-submitpadding {
padding-top: 7px;
padding-bottom: 7px;
}

Button Spaced with margins horizontally
Thank you,

You can do this by using the grid system that comes with Bootstrap. For example the Submit taking up 9 col's, the select/all taking up 2 and then more info taking up 1. And then just align the submit button to be on the left of the column.
This is very simple solution for what you need. I tried out my self, results are just like you want in attached image.
As if you are testing it in very large devices, I would recommend you to download the following bootstrap css for extra large devices.
BOOTSTRAP CSS FOR EXTRA LARGE DEVICES
Put this css below your bootstrap css file and you can then use another column class like "col-xl-numbers of columns". For your specific case i am adding "col-xs-12" to the button div.
Note: Upcomming Bootstrap 4 has built in class for extra large devices.
You css should only be
.btns-right {
float:right;
margin-right:5%;
}
.btn-submitpadding {
padding-top: 7px;
padding-bottom: 7px;
}
and your html should be
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-submitpadding">Submit</button>
<div class="btns-right">
Select All
Deselect All
<a class="btn btn-info btn-infospacer" role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#helpInfo" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="helpInfo">More Info</a></button>
</div>

.btn-option {

height: 80px;
}
I have no idea why the buttons is not extended to the end!
It stopped at 95%.
How do I debug this and make it take a full width ?
The cause
The problem was caused by the margin-right: 10px;.
.btn, .btn:hover {
color: white;
margin-right: 10px;
}
A solution
So, what should you do? Setting margin-right: 0px; would produce the result you can see below. This is not what you want because there's no space in-between these two elements.
You need to set margin-right: 0px; only to the right (i.e., last) element. You can do this by adding this:
.btn:last-child, .btn:last-child:hover {
margin-right: 0px;
}
This will produce the result you can see below.
Try removing those two <br> tags inside the <div>
<div style="display:flex; justify-content: space-between;">
<button onclick="updateLog('7873', '🍭' )" class="btn btn-option btn-solidfood">🍭</button>
<button onclick="updateLog('7873', '🍲' )" class="btn btn-option btn-solidfood">🍲</button>
<!-- Try removing these -->
<br><br>
</div>
I don't think you'll need them inside a flexbox anyways.
Or maybe it's the padding-left:14px on the parent div that's causing this.Try changing that too and this should fix it.
I opened your code provided and unchecked "margin-right:10px;" and it removed the margin on the right side of the button so that the buttons take up the full width of the row (parent element) and both buttons are taking half of the row. See image: CSS code highlighted in yellow and Fixed App
There are multiple ways to skin this cat.
The bootstrap way:
This solution uses the built-in bootstrap grid system to accomplish the result you're looking for.
Remove the inline styling from your container div and replace it with bootstrap's row class. Then wrap each contained button inside divs with the class col-lg-6.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<button onclick="updateLog('8014', '🍭' )" class="btn btn-option btn-solidfood">🍭</button>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<button onclick="updateLog('8014', '🍲' )" class="btn btn-option btn-solidfood">🍲</button>
</div>
</div>
Result:
It looks clean require no additional css or overrides. However you are stuck with the bootstrap default column gap between buttons which may not be desirable.
Incidentally, if at all possible, I highly recommend upgrading to bootstrap 4 instead of 3, as it's much more flexible to tweaking this kind of thing without having to resort to writing more css.
Custom CSS way:
If you want more control over the gap between the buttons, bootstrap may not be your best bet.
This is similar to the solution above from Cervus Camelopardalis and uses the :first-child and :last-child pseudo-classes.
Remove the inline style from the container element and instead give it a descriptive class name. I chose "double-btn" but use whatever makes the most sense to you.
HTML:
<div class="double-btn">
<button onclick="updateLog('7997', '🍭' )" class="btn btn-option btn-solidfood">🍭</button>
<button onclick="updateLog('7997', '🍲' )" class="btn btn-option btn-solidfood">🍲</button>
</div>
In your CSS, add a rule for this class to set display: flex.
Then add another rule targeting any .btn's that are children of this class, removing the default bootstrap margin.
Then add one last set of rules targeting the :first-child and :last-child pseudo-classes of those .btns, setting the margin-right and margin-left to half of your desired gap, respectively. I chose a ten pixel gap here, but with this approach you can change it whatever looks best to you.
CSS:
.double-btn {
display: flex;
}
.double-btn .btn {
margin: 0;
}
.double-btn .btn:first-child {
margin-right: 5px;
}
.double-btn .btn:last-child {
margin-left: 5px;
}
Result:
From here, you can adjust the above margin-right and margin-left values to change the size of the gap between buttons.
It looks like you have margin-right on those two buttons, because your buttons have width of 100% and there is space between them and at the end of that div.
Try adding margin: 0; on .btn-option.
If this doesn't do the trick try setting white-space: normal; on parent div.
I have a container div with 2 buttons inside, used in several places on my website, with different content on the buttons. Ideally, they should be placed next to eachother, but if the text in the buttons is too large, they are split over 2 rows, underneath eachother. In that case, there should be a 10px margin between them.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using Bootstrap 3 and SCSS.
Is there a way to put a condition in there in SCSS to add this margin-bottom to the first element ONLY if they are displayed on 2 rows?
I've also tried simply adding margin-top: 10px to both buttons, but then I have an unnecessary extra margin.
I was also thinking of calculating the total width of the child elements (the buttons) and checking if it exceeds the width of the container, but I have no idea how to achieve this without having to use javascript.
You can do this with plain HTML/CSS. Wrap your two buttons in two divs, an outer and an inner one.
Apply Flexbox layout to the outer div.
Add a negative margin to the inner div.
Give your buttons a positive margin, equal to the negative margin of the inner div.
.outer-wrapper {
background: #ddd;
display: flex;
}
.inner-wrapper {
margin: -10px;
}
.btn {
margin: 10px;
}
/* Test the button wrapping */
.narrow-wrapper {
width: 20rem;
}

<div class="outer-wrapper">
<div class="inner-wrapper">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Button with a lot of content inside</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Another button</button>
</div>

<div class="outer-wrapper narrow-wrapper">
<div class="inner-wrapper">

I’m using button element in a bootstrap template.
I was wondering if it is the normal behavior in bootstrap :
When there is not enough space to show all the buttons on one line, or when the window is resized, some buttons are shown on a 2nd line and it’s ok like that but there is no margin-bottom.
I can add it :
.btn {
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
But i find it strange that it is not handled by bootstrap.
Maybe i’m doing something wrong ?

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn_plus_infos" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#plus_infos">Plus d'infos</button>

In Bootstrap's buttons.less and button-groups.less there's nothing about margin-top or margin-bottom. Having a margin by default would likely conflict when combining it with other elements (e.g. a form)
I think the best solution might be adding all buttons inside a btn-toolbar and to style that combination:
.btn-toolbar .btn {
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
Just add the spacing class. m for margin and p for padding.
<button class="btn btn-success mr-2" type="submit">Add</button>
<button class="btn btn-danger mr-2" type="button">Delete</button>
so, here mr is margin-right. similarly, you can add do for other cases.
mb-5 = margin bottom ..just add that :) sorted :)
I think that it's the normal behavior ( not 100% sure ) because it's "cleaner" to add margin ourselves when we want it that having to remove the default margin when we don't want it, from my opinion...
http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-groups
There's no margin on bootstrap's buttons examples, only on the parent div class btn-group but it's coming from a different stylesheet ( docs.min.css ). So I think it's that way for devs to add their own custom margins.
See here:
Is there an easy way to add some margin between the twitter bootstrap btn-group-vertical buttons, and to make them all have rounded corners?
My first attempt was to just add some margin between them, using css, but then I saw that, except for the first and last one, none of them had rounded corners, so instead of "playing on", I hope there is a "decent" way to accomplish this...
I think this is the easiest way to do that.
CSS
.btn-group-vertical > button{
margin-bottom:10px;
border-radius:10px !important;
}
Working Demo
With Bootstrap 5.1 you can now use the gap utilities to achieve this:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/utilities/spacing/#gap
<div class="btn-group-vertical gap-3">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-dark">Button</button>
</div>
I'm looking to make a small sidebar using Twitter Bootstrap.
I want the paragraph text to be able to wrap freely and I always want the buttons on the right side. However, whenever the browser is resized from full screen to have a smaller width the vertical button group drops down to the next row and takes up the width of the while window. Ugly. What can I do to change this?
Basically, I'm looking at code like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="row" style="margin-top: 10px;">
<div class="span9 citation-text">
<p class="citation-text">Here is a ton of text that is supposed to be a citation
but I'm hoping it'll wrap that's why it's not a citation. And yet it doesn't wrap
so it looks like I'll have to keep writing and writing until it does.</p>
</div>
<div class="span3 vertical-btn-group citation-options">
<input type="button" class="btn btn-small btn-block btn-info citation-edit"
value="Edit" /> <input type="button" class=
"btn btn-small btn-block btn-danger citation-remove" value="Remove" />
<input type="button" class=
"btn btn-small btn-block btn-warning citation-highlight" value="Highlight" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is the link to the JSFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/F39R8/
Play around with resizing and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Once the browser is resized to less than 768px, Bootstrap sets all columns (span*) widths to 100% and removes the 'float' which makes the spans stack vertically. You can override this using a #media query in your CSS..
#media (max-width: 767px) {
.row .span9 {
float:left;
width:68%;
}
.row .span3 {
float:left;
width:28%;
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/skelly/F39R8/2/
I only recently began using CSS myself so I am not sure that this is the best way to go about this but it seemed to help when I tried overriding the CSS for that link you gave above: Go into the CSS stylesheet and find the section pertaining to that div tag (it appears to me to be called "#actions"). Put in min-width: 800px; and try to resize the browser window. Then adjust the pixel size to something like 400px and resize again just for comparison. By fine-tuning this you can (hopefully) get the desired behavior you are looking for.
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/F39R8/3/
I see you have the proper Bootstrap CSS classes in place, so I assumed that the bootstrap file you included contains CSS for the responsive layout. I removed it and added the non-responsive version (http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/css/bootstrap.css).
