Centering a div horizontally - css

I must be missing something really simple here:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<a href="/add" class="btn btn-primary">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus" aria-hidden="true"></span> Add User
</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12" ng-show="users.busy">
<div class="spinner-loader center-block"></div>
</div>
</div>
I've used the bootstrap classes, including center-block. Yet it always looks like this:
Why isn't the spinner icon in the centre of the page?

There is a work around to your problem by changing some HTML as follows
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 text-center" ng-show="users.busy">
<span class="spinner-loader">Loading</span>
</div>
</div>
instead of <div> for spinner I took a <span> which will be centered horizontally because of text-center class to parent <div>.

You can try this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<a href="/add" class="btn btn-primary">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus" aria-hidden="true"></span> Add User
</a>
</div>
</div>
<center>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12" ng-show="users.busy">
<div class="spinner-loader"></div>
</div>
</div>
</center>

Instead of using center-block, add text-center class

I ve been using the bootstrap col-md-offset css to center my divs. For example:
<div class=container>
<div class=row>
<div class=form-horizontal>
<div class="col-md-offset-4 col-md-4">
<div class="your div">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Your div will be responsive, thus as you resize the window the div will remain in the center of the window.

Bootstrap 4 center header elements on mobile

Here is my header setup (bootstrap 4):
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="navbar-brand"><img src="..."></div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 text-right">
<div class="header-btn-grp">
<div class="header-call-us">Get a Quote, Call Today!</div>
<a role="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg header-btn" href="tel:123">Ph : <strong>...</strong></a>
<div class="header-address">XXX</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As expected on desktop the logo sits on the left and the button sits on the right.
When on smaller devices I would like the logo and button to align in the center.
I have tried to add a .text-md-center class to both columns but this caused both elements to center in there columns at all widths (desktop and mobile).
What is the correct way to do this?
An alternate to #cwanjt answer is using the text-center. You just then need to use text-md-left and text-md-right to keep the desired alignment on larger widths.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 text-md-left text-center">
<div class="navbar-brand"><img src="//placehold.it/140x30"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 text-md-right text-center">
<div class="header-btn-grp">
<div class="header-call-us">Get a Quote, Call Today!</div>
<a role="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg header-btn" href="tel:123">Ph : <strong>...</strong></a>
<div class="header-address">XXX</div>
</div>
</div>

#TimothyAURA, if I'm understanding you question correctly, it's how to center the content of your header on smaller screens. If that's the case, you can look at the code in this codeply project to get an idea of how to do that. It seems like you have some familiarity with Bootstrap, but here's a reference to Bootstraps utilities for justifying content.
It uses a justify-content-center class for device sized medium and below, and a justify-content-lg-between on larger displays.
<header class="d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-lg-between">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/65x65" alt="">
</a>
<div class="header-btn-grp">
<div class="header-call-us">Get a Quote, Call Today!</div>
<a role="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg header-btn" href="tel:123">Ph : <strong>...</strong></a>
<div class="header-address">XXX</div>
</div>
</header>

Bootstrap searchbox pull-right

I want to have a searchbox on the right next to another container with pull-left:
<div>
<div class="pull-left"><span>SOME TEXT</span></div>
<div class="pull-right">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" id="txtSearch">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Bootply link:
LINK
It does not work the intended way.
If you are using the grid, you don't need the pull-right class.
As for your example, some text is given col-*-8 and your search bar is given col-*-4 it will place your search in the right.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-*-8">
Some Text
</div>
<div class="col-*-4">
BUTTON
</div>
</div>
</div>
This Documentation and this video are really informative and you can anytime check the Bootstrap Official Grid Documentation.
Here is the Solution.

Center Column Content In Bootstrap

I'm working on a project using Bootstrap 4. I have a row that consists of three columns. My code looks like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 center-block">
<div>
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-time center-text"></i><br />
<h3>On Time</h3>
<h4>Just for you</h4>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 center-block">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-star center-text"></i><br />
<h3>Excellent Service</h3>
<h4>When you need it</h4>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 center-block">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart center-text"></i><br />
<h3>We want to be your favorite</h3>
<h4>Why not?</h4>
</div>
</div>
I need to center the content within each column. However, all of the content is left-aligned and I do not know why. As the code shows, I'm using the center-block and center-text classes. Yet, they do not seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?
You need to use text-center instead of center-block.
There is no default Bootstrap class such as center-text and the class needs to be used for the parent container, not along with any child element.

<div>
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-time"></i><br />
<h3>On Time</h3>
<h4>Just for you</h4>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 text-center">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></i><br />
<h3>Excellent Service</h3>
<h4>When you need it</h4>

Row inside bootstrap collapse

I'm using Bootstrap 2.3.2 for a website which contains an accordion element with one row within it. Accordion is span6 and I expected that the row will be able to contain two span3 elements but it can't. Here is my code simplified:
<div class="span6">
<div class="accordion" id="accordion2">
<div class="accordion-group">
<div class="accordion-heading">
<a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion2" href="#collapseOne">
<p><h3>Some text here</h3></p>
</a>
</div>
<div id="collapseOne" class="accordion-body collapse">
<div class="accordion-inner">
<div class="row">
<br />
<div class="span3 offer">
<div class="offer-wrap">
This one should be on the left
</div>
</div>
<div class="span3 offer">
<div class="offer-wrap">
This one should be on the right, but is BELOW
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I was able to make them appear next to each other, but only with some nasty CSS fiddling, which only works on my screen size.
Expected behaviour: http://imgur.com/O1z4mZN
Actual result: http://imgur.com/fP568Tl
If I put that row outside of accordion element everything looks perfect.
This has to do with the margins of both the accordion and the .span classes.
My tip: never use the .row class, always use the .row-fluid class. With .row-fluid, you can always split up the available width into 12 columns.
<div class="span6">
<div class="accordion" id="accordion2">
<div class="accordion-group">
<div class="accordion-heading">
<a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion2" href="#collapseOne">
<p><h3>Some text here</h3></p>
</a>
</div>
<div id="collapseOne" class="accordion-body collapse">
<div class="accordion-inner">
<br />
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6 offer">
<div class="offer-wrap">
This one should be on the left
</div>
</div>
<div class="span6 offer">
<div class="offer-wrap">
This one should be on the right, but is BELOW
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

How to make a column stretch to fill container div (while being responsive)

I'm using Twitter Bootstrap (latest version - 2.3.2) for a site I'm building, and want to achieve the following while keeping the site responsive, and also applying best practices for it.
Here's a very rough sketch of what I want to have:
The site has a basic header with fixed navbar, a content-fluid div which has three inner divs: a span5, span6, and span1 (for a total of 12 columns). After the content div, a sticky footer with company/copyright info and such.
The problem I'm having is with the span1 column. It is basically decorative (it has 4 vertical color bars, sized at 25% width each), but I'd like to have:
Social link icons vertically-centered in the column (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc), as shown by the black boxes.
Text rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise inside each colored bar. It's only one word each, and is not a priority.
Each bar stretching to fill the full height of the parent container (in this case, the content div), since the height of the page is currently set by the highest div, whether it's span5 or span6.
I know there are probably lots of ways to achieve this (pure CSS, javascript, background-image tiling), but I'm looking for the best practices: avoiding extra markup, using right techniques, in order to learn as much as possible. I've tried setting the parent container (and inner bars) to height: 100%; and playing with min-height as well, but min-height doesn't (seem to) work with percentages.
Any help and/or constructive criticism is very welcome.

I would say your best bet here would be one of the jQuery plug-in out there to accomplish this ... eqHeight.coffee seems to be pretty well documented:
https://github.com/jsliang/eqHeight.coffee/
As for centering those social links in that vertical space, you'd likely have to use more Javascript to do that. Although, honestly I'd probably put them in a div container with position: fixed; and let them slide up and down that column as the user scrolls.
EDIT:
Just noticed you added your HTML file ... in the case of the first plug-in I linked to, you would need to add a class (perhaps 'eq-height') to each of the columns whose heights you wanted to match (that first outer span5 and span6 and then all the bar column divs individually). Then on jQuery document ready, use:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".content").eqHeight(".eq-height");
});
