Basically I'm trying to create a simple webpage template which would contain 3 rows. The first being the header which contains two columns, the second just being the mainbody and then the last being a footer.
Coding wise i'm doing this kind of layout
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<header>
</header>
<div id="col2>
</div>
</div>
<div="mainbody"></div>
<footer></footer>
Basically the trouble I'm having now is in regards to the first row with the two columns. Basically I have a picture in the first one and a bunch of buttons on the second one. Ideally what I would like is to have the header at 100% width so it fits the screen and the contents of the first column stick to the left and the buttons to the right. With the blank space left inbetween the two. So the contents stick to the sides so to speak.
At the moment I'm using float:left on CSS for the first column, I've been messing around with float/align/position but I can't seem to get anything to work.
So any advice on that I would appreciate it.
I also had another question in regards to the footer, basically I have no idea how to even go about doing it. So just asking if possible and guidance where to look.
So for the footer I was wondering if it would be possible for it, if in between the footer and the browser x-axis there's white space it fits to the screen and the body would strech. Because as of now my body is only at the height of the contents within. So basically general advice on CSS to help implement the style so it fits to the screen.
Header with 2 columns
<div id="header">
<div id="column1" style="float:left;">Image</div>
<div id="column2" style="float:left;">Buttons</div>
</div>
Now add desired margin-left to second column div. It will create space in between 2 columns
<div id="wrapper">
<header>
<div id="column1" style="float:left;">Image</div>
<div id="column2" style="float:left;">Buttons</div>
</header>
<div class="mainbody">
Content
</div>
<footer></footer>
Use this
It is simple structure that can be created as follows (Here is DEMO)
HTML is
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<header><img src='http://www.topnews.in/files/facebook-yahoo.jpeg' height=200 />
</header>
<div id="col2"><input type=Button value ="button 1" /><br><input type=Button value ="button 1" /><br><input type=Button value ="button 1" /><br>
</div>
</div>
<div="mainbody">mainbody
</div>
<footer></footer>
</div>
And CSS will be
#header{overflow:auto}
header{float:left}
#col2{float:right}
Hope it will help you :)

(There's a similar question here, but I am too much of a noob yet to translate this onto Bootstrap)
What I want is to have an area on the page between "header" and "footer" (let's call it "body"), which may have a
some fixed section, like BS4 "row", put on the top,
some variable content, consisting of several BS "rows", AND aligned
vertically on the middle of what is left of the body (or of the body
itself)
Can it be done in a responsive manner, and without JS (using only Bootstrap 4 CSS) ?
I've tried some stuff:
<body>
<div id="root" class="container">
<div style="height: 100%;">
<div><h1>HEADER</h1></div><hr>
<div style="min-height: 60%;">
<div class="h100">
<div>some badge</div><br>
<div>
<div class="row justify-content-between">
<div class="col-3">Item #2</div>
<div class="col-3 text-right">
<div>some stats</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col text-center"><h3>THIS SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLANK SPACE</h3></div>
</div>
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-4 text-right"><button class="btn btn-link">it's just below and left</button></div>
<div class="col-4 text-left"><button class="btn btn-link">it's just below and right</button></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><hr>
<div class="footer">FOOTER</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
(https://jsfiddle.net/f93mhdbr/) but as long as I add "d-flex" onto "body" div, or any of it's children, all the previous "row"/"col"-based layout turns into horrible mess ! (see https://jsfiddle.net/f93mhdbr/2/)
I suspect this is due to Bootstrap itself using Flexbox for column and rows,
but maybe any solution exists?
I will try to work on improving this question, I know it's very poor, but I right now I am too much in a despair to work it all out...
UPDATE: added links to whatever I was trying to reproduce
You need to use the flex property to achieve it. Using flex-grow here will make your variable element to grow and fill the remaining height of its container, if there is any. Then all is left to do is set align-items-center on the element to align it on the x-axis.
Here is the Fiddle
Please note I added background-colors so it's easier for you to see how much space each element uses, or use an inspector.
You can set any fixed height for the header, footer and content-top. The height of content and content-remaining will adapt responsively, because they have the property flex-grow: 1 set on them. Here's an example.
To explain further, because the container wrap has a min-height: 100-vh, the content element will grow to fill the entire viewport relative to the rest of the flexible items inside the wrap container. The same logic applies to content-remaining, the only difference is that its parent is the content element and not the wrap container.
As last, I added the IE fix for the min-height property on flex-items. It's a known bug and a quick and reliable fix is to wrap it in a separate flex container.
Hopefully this was helpful to you, if you have any questions left please comment on this answer.
I am looking to have all the elements in my div (which is a bootstrap column actually) while keeping the text in there left-align.
So my code looks like this :
I want the p, span and a to be horizontally centered, while their content (the texts) should be left-align.
<div class='col-sm-4 col-md-4'>
<p>...</p>
<span>...</span>
<a>...</a>
</div>
(the number of columns varies, I have 3 here, but that could be more really).
What I tried to do in my css was to add some left-padding in percentages according to the number of columns. It does work quite well, but I am sure there is an easier way to achieve this.
by the way, dont forget to add "class=" ;).
If i understood you right, there are two possibilities.
first:
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-4 .col-md-offset-4">
<p>...</p>
<span>...</span>
<a>...</a>
</div>
</div>
This would create an offset of "col-md-4". Thus, 4 - 4 - 4, it would be centered.
Another, neater solution would be:
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="wrapper" style="width:300px;position:relative;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;">
<p>...</p>
<span>...</span>
<a>...</a>
</div>
</div>
That way you create a wrapper that is centered through setting the margins left and right automatically.
For that solution you need to provide the position(relative etc, but not static) and the width!
hope it helps.
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:

I have a problem where if I write divs like this:
<div class="asdf">
Some content..
</div>
<div class="asdf2">
Some content
</div>
Then the two divs render with a space in between. If I write it has such:
<div class="asdf">
Some content..
</div> <div class="asdf2">
Some content
</div>
Then a space appears between the divs... BUT i I write it as such:
<div class="asdf">
Some content..
</div><div class="asdf2">
Some content
</div>
Then no space appears between the divs. How is it that this is the case? How can I fix this?
In short, HTML renders white space. I assume that you're rendering these div's inline? The solution you gave is, simply put, the solution.
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:
