I'm using the Bootstrap 3 grid to hide/show nav bar content based on whether or not the user is using an extra small device.
I'm using .hidden-xs and .visible-xs classes. These classes appropriately hide/show the content, but I'm running into two problems:
(1) Hiding the content also shrinks the column spacing by .col-xs-5 because the div is hidden. I tried adding .visible-xs to a subsequent div and using .col-xs-5 to make up the empty space. This works, but only if I place content inside the divs. I just want the columns to be spaced out.
(2) On XS view size, the final item on the Nav bar "Nav" jumps to the next row. I have only accounted for 12 total columns.
See this JSFiddle. I'm trying to nly show "Welcome" on large view and show nothing on XS view.
I here's an idea, you can try instead of adding content. This CSS trick uses :before and :after CSS pseudo-classes.
.no_content {
display: block;
content: "";
width: 151px;
height: 35px;
background: transparent url(tape.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
}
<div class="no_content"></div>
I would look at the grid system further. I believe there is an offset that you can use to offset the div like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-5 col-xs-offset-5></div>
<div class="col-xs-2></div>
</div>
Use the pull-right bootstrap class instead of trying to make empty div's fill in the space.
Completely remove the div you added in item (1) to "make up the space". On the div containing "Nav" set the class as pull-right col-xs-1. So the code from your JSFiddle becomes:
<div class="container">
<div class="row" id="header">
<div class="col-xs-5" id="brand-wrapper">
<div class="brand">Brand</div>
</div>
<!-- Hidden on XS Devices -->
<div class="hidden-xs col-xs-5">
<p>
Welcome
</p>
</div>
<!-- Nav -->
<div class="pull-right col-xs-1" id="toggle-wrapper">
<p>Nav</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I have a problem with the floating. I'll try to explain my problem. What I have is 6 menu bars I want to float. 3 on the left and 3 on the right. However I want the ones on the right to come after the 3 on the left. As in they are no higher than the bottom of the last left one. Similar to the picture someone else had (Credit goes to the topic here
However instead I am getting all of the bars in the same rows like so.
I have provided ALL CSS proporties below. Can anyone figure out why I can't get it the way I wanted? (The bar-groups go inside the gameplay-info-content)
#gameplay-info-content {width: 688px;}
#bar-group-left {float: left; margin: 8px;}
#bar-group-right {float: right; margin: 8px;}
HTML:
<div class="leftcolums">
<div class="left">1</div>
<div class="left">2</div>
<div class="left">3</div>
</div>
//If you want to achieve the first image add a div with class clear below
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="rightcolums">
<div class="right">4</div>
<div class="right">5</div>
<div class="right">6</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
STYLES:
.leftcolums{float:left;}
.rightcolums{float:right;}
.clear{clear:both;}
I have a CSS question.
<div id="middle">
<div id="middle-left">
<div id="middle-left-top">
MLT
</div>
<div id="middle-left-bottom">
MLB
</div>
<br class="clearFix">
</div>
<div id="middle-right">
MLR
</div>
<br class="clearFix">
</div><!-- #middle-->
the example is at http://jsfiddle.net/Z2yeq/
my questions is why does middle-left not contain the two divs inside?
I want middle-left to expand as middle-left-top and middle-left-bottom
get taller
Thanks for any help
Absoloutely-positioned elements are no longer part of the layout. The parent has no idea how large child items are.
If you want the parent to be as large as the positioned child items to need to calculate and set this using JavaScript.
In general you shouldn't use absolute-positioning for layouts. You should use FLOATS.
The reason it doesn't is because you have it set to position:absolute; Remove position absolute to fix the problem.
#middle-left{
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 800px;
}
I want to create alternating 100% colored blocks. An "ideal" situation is illustrated as an attachment, as well as the current situation.
Desired setup:
Currently:
My first idea was to create an div class, give it a background color, and give it 100% width.
.block {
width: 100%;
background: #fff;
}
However, you can see that this obviously doesn't work. It's confined to a container area. I tried to close the container and that didn't work either.
The container class is intentionally not 100% width. It is different fixed widths depending on the width of the viewport.
If you want to work with the full width of the screen, use .container-fluid:
Bootstrap 3:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8"></div>
<div class="col-lg-4"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Bootstrap 2:
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="span6"></div>
<div class="span6"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span8"></div>
<div class="span4"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span12"></div>
</div>
</body>
QUICK ANSWER
Use multiple NOT NESTED .containers
Wrap those .containers you want to have a full-width background in a div
Add a CSS background to the wrapping div
Fiddles: Simple: https://jsfiddle.net/vLhc35k4/ , Container borders: https://jsfiddle.net/vLhc35k4/1/
HTML:
<div class="container">
<h2>Section 1</h2>
</div>
<div class="specialBackground">
<div class="container">
<h2>Section 2</h2>
</div>
</div>
CSS: .specialBackground{ background-color: gold; /*replace with own background settings*/ }
FURTHER INFO
DON'T USE NESTED CONTAINERS
Many people will (wrongly) suggest, that you should use nested containers. Well, you should NOT.
They are not ment to be nested. (See to "Containers" section in the docs)
HOW IT WORKS
div is a block element, which by default spans to the full width of a document body - there is the full-width feature. It also has a height of it's content (if you don't specify otherwise).
The bootstrap containers are not required to be direct children of a body, they are just containers with some padding and possibly some screen-width-variable fixed widths.
If a basic grid .container has some fixed width it is also auto-centered horizontally.
So there is no difference whether you put it as a:
Direct child of a body
Direct child of a basic div that is a direct child of a body.
By "basic" div I mean div that does not have a CSS altering his border, padding, dimensions, position or content size. Really just a HTML element with display: block; CSS and possibly background.
But of course setting vertical-like CSS (height, padding-top, ...) should not break the bootstrap grid :-)
Bootstrap itself is using the same approach
...All over it's own website and in it's "JUMBOTRON" example:
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/jumbotron/
This is how you can achieve your desired setup with Bootstrap 3:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row"> <!-- Give this div your desired background color -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
... your content here ...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The container-fluid part makes sure that you can change the background over the full width. The container part makes sure that your content is still wrapped in a fixed width.
This approach works, but personally I don't like all the nesting. However, I haven't found a better solution so far.
There is a workaround using vw. Is useful when you can't create a new fluid container.
This, inside a classic 'container' div will be full size.
.row-full{
width: 100vw;
position: relative;
margin-left: -50vw;
left: 50%;
}
After this there is the sidebar problem (thanks to #Typhlosaurus), solved with this js function, calling it on document load and resize:
function full_row_resize(){
var body_width = $('body').width();
$('.row-full').css('width', (body_width));
$('.row-full').css('margin-left', ('-'+(body_width/2)+'px'));
return false;
}
In bootstrap 4, you can use 'w-100' class (w as width, and 100 as 100%)
You can find documentation here:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/sizing/
If you can't change the HTML layout:
.full-width {
width: 100vw;
margin-left: -50vw;
left: 50%;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">a</div>
<div class="col-xs-12">b</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 full-width">c</div>
<div class="col-xs-12">d</div>
</div>
</div>
Demo: http://www.bootply.com/tVkNyWJxA6
Sometimes it's not possible to close the content container.
The solution we are using is a bit different but prevent a overflow because of the
firefox scrollbar size!
.full-width {
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
position: relative;
width: calc(100vw - 10px);
margin-left: calc(-50vw + 5px);
left: 50%;
}
Here is a example: https://jsfiddle.net/RubbelDeKatz/wvt9253q
Instead of
style="width:100%"
try using
class="col-xs-12"
it will save you 1 character :)
Sorry, should have asked for your css as well. As is, basically what you need to look at is giving your container div the style .container { width: 100%; } in your css and then the enclosed divs will inherit this as long as you don't give them their own width. You were also missing a few closing tags, and the </center> closes a <center> without it ever being open, at least in this section of code. I wasn't sure if you wanted the image in the same div that contains your content or separate, so I created two examples. I changed the width of the img to 100px simply because jsfiddle offers a small viewing area. Let me know if it's not what you're looking for.
content and image separate: http://jsfiddle.net/QvqKS/2/
content and image in same div (img floated left): http://jsfiddle.net/QvqKS/3/
I would use two separate 'container' div as below:
<div class="container">
/* normal*/
</div>
<div class="container-fluid">
/*full width container*/
</div>
Bare in mind that container-fluid does not follow your breakpoints and it is a full width container.
I'd wonder why someone would try to "override" the container width, since its purpose is to keep its content with some padding, but I had a similar situation (that's why I wanted to share my solution, even though there're answers).
In my situation, I wanted to have all content (of all pages) rendered inside a container, so this was the piece of code from my _Layout.cshtml:
<div id="body">
#RenderSection("featured", required: false)
<section class="content-wrapper main-content clear-fix">
<div class="container">
#RenderBody()
</div>
</section>
</div>
In my Home Index page, I had a background header image I'd like to fill the whole screen width, so the solution was to make the Index.cshtml like this:
#section featured {
<!-- This content will be rendered outside the "container div" -->
<div class="intro-header">
<div class="container">SOME CONTENT WITH A NICE BACKGROUND</div>
</div>
}
<!-- The content below will be rendered INSIDE the "container div" -->
<div class="content-section-b">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
MORE CONTENT
</div>
</div>
</div>
I think this is better than trying to make workarounds, since sections are made with the purpose of allowing (or forcing) views to dynamically replace some content in the layout.
Though people have mentioned that you will need to use .container-fluid in this case but you will also have to remove the padding from bootstrap.
The following answer is not exactly optimal by any measure, but I needed something that maintains its position within the container whilst it stretches the inner div fully.
https://jsfiddle.net/fah5axm5/
$(function() {
$(window).on('load resize', ppaFullWidth);
function ppaFullWidth() {
var $elements = $('[data-ppa-full-width="true"]');
$.each( $elements, function( key, item ) {
var $el = $(this);
var $container = $el.closest('.container');
var margin = parseInt($container.css('margin-left'), 10);
var padding = parseInt($container.css('padding-left'), 10)
var offset = margin + padding;
$el.css({
position: "relative",
left: -offset,
"box-sizing": "border-box",
width: $(window).width(),
"padding-left": offset + "px",
"padding-right": offset + "px"
});
});
}
});
This must work (Mobile phone as well as Desktop screen):
class: alignfull and class: img-fluid will do the magic.
<div class="alignfull">
<img class="img-fluid" style="background-size: cover;
background-position: center ;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: auto;
min-width: 100%;
width: -moz-available; "
src="{{ $image->image }}" alt="An image">
</div>
I have an HTML "toolbar" containing a number of widgets arranged horizontally. Each item is represented by a div in the source document:
<div id="widget1" />
<div id="widget2" />
<div id="widget3" />
I position the divs using float: left. The problem is that I also want them to be pinned to the top of the toolbar so that they don't wrap around if the user reduces the width of the window. Instead, I just want them to overflow horizontally (with the overflow hidden) so that the behavior is like that of a real toolbar.
In other words, I want something like position: fixed but only for the vertical coordinate. Horizontally they should be positioned one after another in a row. Is there any way to do this with CSS?
Update Here's the real HTML I'm using. The divss with class="row" are the ones that should appear as widgets in the toolbar, arranged horizontally in a single row.
<div class="row" id="titleRow">
<span class="item"> <img src="../images/logo.png" height="26" /> </span>
<span class="item" id="title">Title</span>
<span class="item" id="close" onclick="window.close();"> close </span>
</div>
<div class="row" id="menuRow">
<span class="item"> <ul id="menu"></ul> </span>
</div>
<div class="row" id="searchRow">
</div>
<div class="row" id="pageRow">
<span class="item" id="page-related-data"> Page-related data: </span>
</div>
Rather than float: left; try display: inline-block; vertical-align: top;. Then set white-space: nowrap; and overflow: hidden; on the parent element. See http://jsfiddle.net/rt9sS/1/ for an example.
Note inline-block has some issues. It's white space aware (so white space around elements in the HTML will be visible in the document). It also has limited support in IE6/7, although you can work around that by giving the element layout, e.g. .oldie .widget { display:inline; zoom:1; }. See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html#inlineblock for more.
I know this is an old question, wanted to add a simple jquery answer for those that run across it.
$(window).scroll(function(){
$("#keep-in-place").css("top",$(document).scrollTop()+"px");
});
To make higher or lower on page simply add to $(document).scrollTop()
Works for me
