I’m having an issue with the bootstrap grid. I’m trying to create (3) four column divs on medium screens, on small screens I’m trying to create six column divs that are offset 3 columns so they are centered. and on extra small screens twelve columns. Seems like something I’ve done a million times… but on medium or larger they are stacking using the .sm class… not sure what’s happening?
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-4">col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-4</div><!-- close col -->
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-4">col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-4</div><!-- close col -->
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-4">col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-4</div><!-- close col -->
</div><!-- close row -->
here is a codepen: https://codepen.io/aaron4osu/pen/Powpezo
Your post is a bit confusing, but I'll try to help.
Your first issue is using .col-offset- improperly which is preventing your columns from operating correctly (read more about offsetting here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/css/#grid-offsetting)
Your second issue is using .col-sm-6 three times.
With the Bootstrap grid system, your column classes must always equal 12 (because it's a 12 column grid). Having .col-sm-6 three times equals 18 (not 12) so Bootstrap will push your 3rd .col-sm-6 column underneath the others.
Also, always wrap a .container or .container-fluid around your .row or you're going to run into problems later like horizontal scrolling.
And finally, to center your divs on sm and xs, just use .col-xs-12 and then your divs will be centered (and 100% width) until they reach the .col-md- breakpoint, and then they will be .col-md-4 (3 columns, because 4 goes into 12 three times):
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">Column 1</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">Column 2</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">Column 3</div>
</div>
</div>

I am trying to change the order of the way my columns are displayed on large, medium and and small screen, its responding well but when it reaches small and below it behaves differently?
<div class="row ben-join-margin-util-top" style="margin-top:-1rem;">
<div class="col-lg-6 order-xs-last order-lg-first join-ben-util">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 why-benefits-util">

How can I get better control over how Bootstrap 3 is scaling my col width.
Lets say for example that i create two columns using the following code:
<div class="xs-col-6"></div>
<div class="xs-col-6"></div>
When I re-size the window I want the the first column to take up 80% of the space and the right one to use 20% of the space. How can i do this?
This is what I tried:
<div class="xs-col-6" style="width:80%;"></div>
<div class="xs-col-6" style="width:20%;"></div>
With bootstrap you can use column, they are 12, so you can have this (9+3 = 12):
<div class="col-xs-9"></div>
<div class="col-xs-3"></div>
also, you can have different behavior depending on the device size with col-sm-*, col-md-* and col-lg-*.
Like this :
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-9 col-md-6"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 col-md-6"></div>
And if you want overwrite bootstrap css, you can, but maybe you need to add !important to your css property
I have this code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-6 col-md-12 col-md-offset-0"></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-12"></div>
</div>
What I want for small (sm) screens is to have two divs that have three columns each, and an offset of 6 columns for the first div.
For medium (md) screens, I would like to have two divs with twelve columns each (one horizontally stacked under the other), with no offsets.
Somehow the browser doesn't recognize the class col-md-offset-0. It still uses the col-sm-offset-6 class. Any ideas why?
Which version of bootstrap are you using? The early versions of Bootstrap 3 (3.0, 3.0.1) didn't work with this functionality.
col-md-offset-0 should be working as seen in this bootstrap example found here (http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-responsive-resets):
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-5 col-md-6">.col-sm-5 .col-md-6</div>
<div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-2 col-md-6 col-md-offset-0">.col-sm-5 .col-sm-offset-2 .col-md-6 .col-md-offset-0</div>
</div>
There is no col-??-offset-0. All "rows" assume there is no offset unless it has been specified. I think you are wanting 3 rows on a small screen and 1 row on a medium screen.
To get the result I believe you are looking for try this:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12">
<p>On small screen there are 3 rows, and on a medium screen 1 row</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12">
<p>On small screen there are 3 rows, and on a medium screen 1 row</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12">
<p>On small screen there are 3 rows, and on a medium screen 1 row</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Keep in mind you will only see a difference on a small tablet with what you described. Medium, large, and extra small screens the columns are spanning 12.
Hope this helps.
If I get you right, you want something that seems to be the opposite of what is desired normally: you want a horizontal layout for small screens and vertically stacked elements on large screens. You may achieve this in a way like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="hidden-md hidden-lg col-xs-3 col-xs-offset-6">a</div>
<div class="hidden-md hidden-lg col-xs-3">b</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="hidden-xs hidden-sm">c</div>
</div>
</div>
On small screens, i.e. xs and sm, this generates one row with two columns with an offset of 6. On larger screens, i.e. md and lg, it generates two vertically stacked elements in full width (12 columns).
So this totally works (goes from 4 columns to 2 on small screens):
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-6"> 1</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-6"> 2</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-6"> 3</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-6"> 4</div>
</div>
As does my 3-column, however the middle column gets stacked on top of the third one (which by then is the right/2nd column).
<div class="row" id="footer">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-6">
1
</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-6">
2
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 col-sm-6">
3
</div>
</div>
How can I tell the middle column to stack above or underneath the first column? col-sm-pull-6 doesn't work for example.
Desired result:
1 - 3
2 - ..
The problem with switching 2 and 3 and then using push and pull, is that the 2nd column still goes a top of the 3rd column. And I need them to be like in my desired result 'diagram'.
Edit: What I can do is give the first column col-sm-12. This will push the other 2 down. That way the order is good, and since it's for a footer, the fact that the paragraph column is at the complete bottom, isn't bad either. But I'm still open for better suggestions.
The grid now looks like this:
1
2 - 3
Be sure to watch out for divs that have different heights. Those will cause things to not wrap all the way to the left like you might expect.
You can address this using the bootstrap clearfix (even conditionally) with something like:
<div class="clearfix visible-sm"></div>
Put that after a div where you'd want to start a new row at the -sm size. Repeat as needed.
So here goes,
first of all you should use the designs for smaller screens BEFORE larger screens like so:
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-3"> (...)
Now for your design to happen you need to to this:
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-3">
1
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-3 col-lg-push-3">
3
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-3 col-lg-pull-3">
2
</div>
...what I did is that I reversed the 2nd with 3rd column so that they fit my needs for the smaller screen and then by using push and pull I adjusted for the larger screens.
edit: here is a working fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/ujrwyrbr/2/
I want to add a grid of images and content in the main content area of my website page.
I have a basic two column template, and I want to place the grid in the large content area. Everything works fine, but as soon as I resize to portrait I loose all my margins between divs. I am not too sure what is the proper way to group these items in skeleton. Do i need to end my container for each row? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
<div class="container">
<div class="four columns"></div>
<div class="twelve columns">
<!-- grid goes here -->
<div class="container">
<div class="six columns alpha"></div>
<div class="six columns omega"></div>
<div class="six columns alpha"></div>
<div class="six columns omega"></div>
</div>
</div><!-- end twelve columns>
</div><!-- end container -->
I see no one's answered this before. I assume you've already solved this, so this answer is for anyone else trying to find
The issue is that the container class has a fixed width of 960 pixels, so you can't nest them. The second problem is that the columns inside (that you're trying to nest) exceed the column count. See the 'clearfix' class. Offhand, this was the cleanest solution I found:
<div class="container">
<div class="four columns">four columns</div>
<div class="twelve columns">
<div class="sixteen columns clearfix">
<div class="three columns alpha"> first</div>
<div class="three columns">second</div>
<div class="three columns">third</div>
<div class="three columns omega">fourth</div>
</div><!-- end clearfix -->
</div><!-- end twelve columns>
</div><!-- end container -->
The part that I missed the first time I saw this answer was that the columns in between Alpha and Omega are just labeled three columns. So for the first column use alpha and the last column use omega. The initial question doesn't work because they have two alpha and omegas. If you look at the css alpha and omega just give them 0px margins on either left(alpha) or right(omega).
