Automatic floating with twitter bootstrap - css

I have a series of elements within a row-fluid and span12 that are span4. I want to be able to output as many of these as necessary and have them automatically line up in columns of 3. The problem im having is that this happens, but there is an offset (the uncleared float offset).
Is there a way to do this without counting each box and every 3rd one closing the previous row and starting a new one?
<div id="content" class="clearfix row-fluid">
<div id="main" class="span12 clearfix" role="main">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4">Test</div>
<div class="span4">Test</div>
<div class="span4">Test</div>
<div class="span4">Test</div>
<div class="span4">TEst</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

This is practically unavoidable if your boxes have varied height. You can get around this issue by using the Masonry jQuery plugin.
Otherwise, you can use a fixed height for your boxes.
This happens because floated elements fall out of the normal HTML document flow and default to this behaviour when some elements are taller than their siblings.

Bootstrap 5 - several columns with normal width but one that takes up the rest of the space

If I have a scenario using Bootstrap 5 like...
<div class="container">
<div class="row row-cols-auto">
<div class="col">One</div>
<div class="col">Two</div>
<div class="col">Three</div>
</div>
</div>
All columns currently take whatever width their content needs.
I want column two to be as wide as it can be without interfering with the display of columns one and two.
Is this possible with Bootstrap alone or would I need to rely on additional CSS styling?
Just found the answer. Make all columns EXCEPT the one I want to take up all the space col-auto. Make that one class="col".
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-auto">One</div>
<div class="col">Two</div>
<div class="col-auto">Three</div>
</div>
</div>

How to Create a Pyramid Layout Using Foundation Grid

I need to build a pyramid of content blocks using the Foundation grid.
The problem is that for rows that are not divisible by 12, I cannot stack the next row in the pyramid so that it is centered under the row above it.
It is like I need a half column offset or something equivalent.
I thought about using .centered on a nested row, but that seems to have the same problem of dividing half columns.
<div class='row'>
<div class='small-1 small-centered columns'>1</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class='small-5 columns'></div>
<div class='small-1 columns'>1</div>
<div class='small-1 columns'>2</div>
<div class='small-5 columns'></div>
</div>
<!--- This row with 3 content blocks is not centered below the previous row --->
<div class="row">
<div class='small-4 columns'></div>
<div class='small-1 columns'>1</div>
<div class='small-1 columns'>2</div>
<div class='small-1 columns'>3</div>
<div class='small-3 columns'></div>
</div>
Fiddle:

I would use block grid instead. The block grid utility will fill up whatever available space is created by the row above.
See the Foundation docs for examples of how to use it: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/block_grid.html
I use this a lot when I need no padding on the left/right sides of the outer columns.

Bootstrap columns stacking vertically and not horizontally

I have a row divided into 3 columns using col-sm-4. Now i expect this row to be divided horizontally into three parts. But it's divided vertically.
See on Jsfillde
Here's my code
<div class="container">
<div class="row" style="padding:13px 15px;">
<div class="pull-left span4">
<img src="themes/custom/img/logo.png" width="120" alt="logo"/>
</div>
<div class="pull-right span4">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">One</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">Two</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">Three</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I have kept a logo on the left side and on the right side there is a row that i want to divide horizontally in 3 parts.
What am i doing wrong?
Your code works just fine. The .col-sm-* classes are applied for width 768px and above. If you want make this three divs always horizontally, you have to use classes .col-xs-4 in your case. Updated jsfiddle

I was having the same problem and was at my wits end. Then I refreshed the browser and it worked.

Problems with nested grid in Zurb Foundation

I'll just show you a jsfiddle I've created to illustrate what I'm trying to achieve:
http://jsfiddle.net/vraG7/3/embedded/result/
Here's the code for that part:
<div class="row">
<div class="twelve columns">
<h2 class="first_column category_title">Nome Categoria</h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="nine columns thumbnail"><img
src="http://www.placehold.it/125x125" alt=""></div>
<div class="three columns date"><time
datetime="2013-02-28" >28<br>02<br>2013</time></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="twelve columns">
<h2 class="post-title">Titolto del post</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- category-column -->
What I'm trying to do is to have the 125x125 image and the date box to its right to be the same width as the orange box with "Nome categoria". I thought I did everything right, but apparently I'm missing something.
It is hard to say what exactly the problem is. You are overriding a lot of foundation styles. height, margin, etc. on a bunch of divs.
1) You are applying the background color that you hope to align to to an <h2>. I suggest applying it to the containing <div>. the h2 will never to do the edge of the div, therefore you will not be able to align them.
2) for the date you applying the color to the background. it is possible they are already aligned. if you change the above.
3) for troubleshooting nested grids, it is easy to add the panel class to all of them, this will increase the spacing but let you see the relationship of each nested grid to each other.
this is on foundation 4, but might be useful:

How make a growing column in css?

I'm trying to create a web page and I have this problem-question. The idea is to show an article in the main column, to the left, and several comments below the article.
In the right column, we'll show ads.
The problem is this: I have proved several layouts (this is the last one), but always the right column fall below the left (article-and-comments).
How I could do this?. The idea is that the left column (article-and-comments), could grow indefinitely, or even could be very short (if no one has commented), but the right column always keep on the right.
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="header">Header menus etc etc</div>
<div id="main-block">
<div id="article-and-comments">
<div class="article-detail">The Article </div>
<div class="comment">1° Comment</div>
<div class="comment">1° Comment</div>
<div class="comment">1° Comment</div>
</div>
<div class="advertising">
Right Column with Ads
</div>
<div class="push"></div> <!-- This is to push the footer to the bottom
</div> <!-- main-block -->
<div class="footer">
Footer
</div>
you need to make the article-and-comments and advertising widths to add up to the main-block width.
And you need to float them left and right ..
example at http://www.jsfiddle.net/gaby/tBd7L/
There are a few ways to do this. One is to set your content column to a fixed width and float it left, then set your ad column to have a left margin greater than or equal to the width of the content column.
Here's a very rough example:
