Because of inherited html parts when using template engines such as twig (PHP) or jinja2 (python), I may need to nest rows like below:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="row">
</div>
...
<div class="row">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
...
</div>
</div>
Then should I wrap inner rows in column div like below:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<div class="row">
</div>
...
<div class="row">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
...
</div>
</div>
Or should they be wrappered in container again?
You shouldn't wrap the nested rows in .container elements, but you should nest them in columns. Bootstrap's row class has negative left and right margins that are negated by the col-X classes' positive left and right margins. If you nest two row classes without intermediate col-X classes, you get double the negative margins.
This example demonstrates the double negative margins:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- GOOD! Second "row" wrapped in "col" to negate negative margins. -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12" style="background: lime;">
<div class="row">
Here's my text!
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- BAD! Second "row" missing wrapping "col", gets double negative margins -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="row" style="background: tomato;">
Where's my text?
</div>
</div>
</div>
For further reading, The Subtle Magic Behind Why the Bootstrap 3 Grid Works explains the column system in great and interesting detai.
You shouldn't wrap them in another container - containers are designed for a typical one-page layout. Unless it would look good / work well with your layout, you may want to look into container-fluid if you really want to do this.
tl;dr don't wrap in another container.

I am having trouble with my css. I am trying to have my contact information, the quote, and my contact form to be in the same row but different columns. And also why is it that my html doesn't all fit on one page, I can scroll to the rigth and there's just empty white space. I figure its because I added -1.23em in my navbars margin; However, I only did this because my navbar was not filling the whole page. Here is a link to my gist and bitballon. Thank you in advance.

You have a .row div in the nested directly under the body on line 103 that is causing the page to spread past 100% width
Bootstrap requires a containing element to wrap site contents and
house our grid system. You may choose one of two containers to use in
your projects. Note that, due to padding and more, neither container
is nestable. bootstrap containers
Regarding the contact info your nesting and class names are not correct, you currently have the following:
<div class="container-fluid" id="contact">
<div class="row">
<div class="column">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-12">
<div id="quote">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4">
<div class="contact">...</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<form>
you will need to change this to follow bootstrap3 grid conventions, something like the following:
<div class="container">
<div class="row" id="contact">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div id="quote">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="contact">...</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Sorry for the really confusing title. What I'm trying to do should be quite easy in theory.
I think the best way to demontrate it is by showing you an image:
1 row at the top with 2 columns, and every other column coming after that should be positioned under the second column...
Is this doable?
Thanks
That's what the "offset" classes are for. col-md-offset-1 applied to the elements in the second column (as additional class) should do what you want (for medium viewport size)
(probably you use wider columns with classes like col-md-3 that span three columns of the grid. In this case you'd need col-md-offset-3for the offset)
use col-md-offset-* class
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>fixed column</p></div>
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>col</p></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"></div>
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>col</p></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"></div>
<div class="col-md-offset-6" style="text-align=center;"><p>col</p></div>
</div>

I know you can nest rows within nested columns, but is it 'against the rules' to nest rows directly within rows?
eg:
<div class="row">
<div class="row">
cols in here
</div>
<div class="row">
cols in here
</div>
<div class="row">
cols in here
</div>
</div>
Or must these always be within columns?
is it 'against the rules' to nest rows directly within rows?
Not against the rules as such, but not a best practice as per the guidelines.
Per bootstrap guidelines, third point under introduction -
..and only columns may be immediate children of rows".
*Edit: This is still true with Bootstrap 4.0 Beta. The link to the docs above will automatically redirect to the version 3.3 documentation. Thank you #Aakash for pointing this out.
This is because of the padding which Bootstrap uses for its layout, it is a good practice to nest via row-column-row pattern i.e. nest a row with one column across to nest.
See the difference in the snippet below. The first set of markup breaks the Bootstrap layout, although nothing bad happens.
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">One</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">Two</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">One</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">Two</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">One</div>
<div class="col-xs-12">Two</div>
<div class="col-xs-12">Three</div>

I have a screen split in two, using two columns.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Left Box
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Right
</div>
</div>
I need a small (approx 10px) gap between the two columns.
http://www.bootply.com/vaOb1WdR5I
Can this be done?
Both boxes would need to reduce by 5 pix (in the above example), as I need the total width to remain.
Edit: Some ideas nearly work, but I am getting an extra Well that I don't want. With this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
#Html.Action("ShowDuePayments", "Transaction")
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
#Html.Action("ShowRecentTransactions", "Transaction")
</div>
</div>
I get this:
The 'under' well div shouldn't be visible.
A couple of points:
You shouldn't add extra classes to the Bootstrap columns (that's not a hard and fast rule, but a good recommendation)
You are missing the container wrap.
Make changes using those rules and it looks like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="well">Left Top Box</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="well">Left Bottom Box</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="well">Right Box</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
How about this?
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6" style='padding-right:5px'>
<div class='well'>
Left Box
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6" style='padding-left:5px'>
<div class='well'>
Right
</div>
</div>
</div>

If you remove the inline styling, you will have the natural spacing provided by bootstrap, which is 15px padding.
You can change the class of col-md-6 and add width:49%, and to the 2nd div add pull-right class like:
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Left Box
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 well pull-right">
Right
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.col-md-6{
width:49%;
}
You can also try to add padding to the two div tags ie:
.col-md-6{
padding:5px;
}
This would add a bit of padding to all the sides - unless you use padding-left & padding-right and assign different class names to the divs - depending on how you want your code to be layed out.
You could also use an additional class so you only modify special column-6 elements and not all on your site. This example also uses percentage based widths as Flopet17s. You could tweak the percentage number to better fit your desired gap width.
.withgap {
width: 49%;
margin-right:1%;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 well withgap">
Left Box
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 well">
Right
</div>
</div>
I'm having a really simple problem with css but the solution is not coming to me. It's about positioning elements in a grid, I want the grid elements to look like this, but instead they are coming out to look like this. I tried putting one tag inside the other and then attempting to remove the box model from it (margin and padding) but the div is offset. I've tried nesting both inside a div tag but that doesn't work either.
I attempted to do a jsfiddle but it's not loading correctly. Fiddle . required random code below of the html.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12" style="height:85.3px">empty top</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4" style="height:85.3px">logo</div>
<div></div>
<div class="col-md-7" style="height:40px">head text
<div class="col-md-7" style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:40px;box-sizing:border-box;">nav</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Just fyi the bootstrap col-md-1 through col-md-12 are bootstraps grid positioning system. I think they have to add up to 12 to form a single line. Here is the bootstrap html i am using.
and the grid css . and bootstrap
Your jsfiddle is not displaying correctly because the default iframe size is too small, but you can change the width to view the page in a manner consistent with your problem. Your problem is that you have a div nested inside another div by mistake. Try the following instead:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12" style="height:85.3px">empty top</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4" style="height:85.3px">logo</div>
<div class="col-md-8" style="height:45.3px">head text</div>
<div class="col-md-8" style="height:40px;">nav</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- /container -->
