I have just started working on turning a graphic design into a responsive website using Bootstrap 3. I would like to know the positioning of the .container in relation to other wrappers like, e.g. <nav>, <header>, <footer> or semantic custom wrappers like, e.g <div class="main-content">, etc.
I am not sure if I should wrap the above mentioned tags in the .container div or vice-versa - wrap the .container div in those tags.
Essentially, the question is whether the following are equal or there is a preference of order:
<div class="container">
<div class="main-content">
...
</div>
</div>
<div class="main-content">
<div class="container">
...
</div>
</div>
If it depends on the project specifics what markup to choose, what might be potential reasons for choosing one over the other?
I personally use following order
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<!-- NAVIGATION -->
</div>
</nav>
<div id="content" class="container">
<!-- (MAIN)CONTENT -->
</div>
<footer>
<div class="container">
<!-- FOOTER -->
</div>
</footer>
</body>
so I can style the navigation nav and footer footer over the full width (e.g. background) and the content still offers the grid.
EDIT : It is based on Template Business Casual.
If you wish to style everthing to the same (responsive .container-)width you should better put everything inside the .container. This also depends on your CSS behind .main-content.
Maybe you could check the different examples (source code) from bootstrap to see which setting/design matches your preferences.

I've read a lot about bootstraps breakpoints and grid system now and perused many stackoverflow questions but remain bamboozled.
I have a simple bootstrap v3 container like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="row col-md vertical-align">
<div class="col-md-5">
image
</div>
<div class="col-md-7 d-flex">
text
</div>
</div>
</div>
And in a web browser this renders beautifully, but on my phone the image and text continue to occupy one row with no break and the image is thus scaled tiny and ugly and I'd like Bootstrap to do what it does best, render that image at the full phone width and the next beneath it, that is, break these two columns.
A live sample is her, at present:
http://hobart.gamessociety.info/
and I would be most grateful if anyone with experience could lend some insight into why this doesn't render as I'd like on my phone.
As I understood bootstrap it's phone first, and md says apply the 5/7 split on medium and larger screens and on smaller ones do what it does sensibly, i.e. not scale that image to tiny proportions and show both columns side by side, but break between them and show one above the other.
The class "vertical-align" adds the css style "display:flex" if you remove that you will see the items behaving as you currently desire (I think). Use chrome and inspect to add/remove css styles.
You could just add col-xs-12 to each div class.
<div class="container">
<div class="row col-md vertical-align">
<div class="col-md-5 col-xs-12">
image
</div>
<div class="col-md-7 col-xs-12 d-flex">
text
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is an alternative to your second question
create a css class
.myClass {
float:none;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
margin-right:-4px;
}
And add it to the inner divs
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5 myClass">
image
</div>
<div class="col-md-7 myClass">
text
</div>
</div>
</div>
Found the answer here Twitter Bootstrap 3, vertically center content
I have a very simple HTML page that in summary includes the Fabric UI CSS file and has a body (body.ms-Fabric) with
<div class="ms-Grid">
<div class="ms-Grid-row">
<div class="ms-Grid-col ms-sm12 ms-u-md4 ms-lg2">
Column 1
</div>
<div class="ms-Grid-col ms-sm12 ms-md8 ms-lg10">
Column 2
</div>
</div>
</div>
but is displaying two rows instead of the expected two columns
What am I doing wrong?
Am I missing any other CSS include or class?
Thanks
It does work. :)
They seem to have forgotten to update their guide when they included rtl support. Simply add dir="ltr" to the html tag or at least the div parent to .ms-Grid-col
<link href="https://static2.sharepointonline.com/files/fabric/office-ui-fabric-core/9.3.0/css/fabric.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="ms-Fabric" dir="ltr">
<div class="ms-Grid">
<div class="ms-Grid-row">
<div class="ms-Grid-col ms-sm6 ms-md4 ms-lg2">A</div>
<div class="ms-Grid-col ms-sm6 ms-md8 ms-lg10">B</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I have the same issue here, I dont know why we are missing float left:
.ms-Grid-col{
position:relative;
min-height:1px;
padding-left:8px;
padding-right:8px;
box-sizing:border-box}
[dir=ltr] .ms-Grid-col{float:left}
[dir=rtl] .ms-Grid-col{float:right}
if you add float:left; to .ms-grid-col class then it will be ok
I have been using owl carousel 1.3 on pages that generally have a wrapper container that sets the width to 1200px.
I started to build responsive sites and don't use a fixed width on any wrappers now, i am also using version 2 of Owl.
I am using the bootstrap grid layout and trying to make my owl carousel responsive. However i can't get this to work and it seems it only works if you set a width on a parent div.
For example if i have this:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="owl-carousel">
<div><h2>Item 1</h2></div>
<div><h2>Item 2</h2></div>
<div><h2>Item 3</h2></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h2> Just a right hand panel</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The owl slider will take up 100% of the screen width, it will ignore the col-md-8 width of 66% so i end up with a broken layout.
Is owl carousel truly responsive or do you have to fix a width to it for it to work?
I know this is old problem but i sloved it with wrapper and little jQ code.
Owl-carousel doesnt support bootstrap class "container-fuild", and when you use this class for owl, will crash width of your page so you need to set width of the wrapper.
Remember add resize event.
My HTML ( div with class owl-wrapper used in jQ ):
<section class="container-fluid">
<div class="owl-wrapper">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="owl-carousel owl-theme ">
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
jQuery file:
$(document).ready(function($){
var windowWidth = $( window ).width();
$('.owl-wrapper').css('width', windowWidth);
$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
loop:true
});
});
Try putting min-width : 100% on the parent container.
I'm recently started to work with bootstrap and i really like it, very easy and strcutured.
Although i dont understand one thing, what is the correct structure?
I've read their getting started and they said for example the the first child of row can be column ...
But they also mentioned about div='container', should then also all of the elements be in a container?
for example
<div class="container">
<nav> </navr>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div ....> BODY </div>
</div>
<div class='container">
<footer></footer>
</div>
Or are all of this containers very optional and can be left not used?
Same question about rows, should then all column elements be a part of row or not?
I have following structure:
<nav></nav>
<row>
<div class="col-md-2> </div>
<div class="col-md-10">
<row>
<div class="col-md-6"> </div>
<div class="col-md-6"> </div>
</row>
</div>
</row>
Is this the correct structure?
Since row has negative margins, it should be placed inside container..
According to the Bootstrap docs (http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid):
"Rows must be placed within a .container for proper alignment and padding."
As you'll see in this demo, the non-contained row causes a horizontal scrollbar:
http://bootply.com/106752
But, container can be used anywhere.. alone, or nested inside other containers / rows.
I know that we can add left and right buttons in a header in Jquery Mobile App.
But can we any more buttons or controls in the header section itself?
I think I have a better solution,
<header data-role ="header" data-theme="b">
<h1 class="ui-title" role="heading">Staff</h1>
<div class="ui-btn-right" data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
filter
move
</div>
</header>

with regard to this info:
you can find it here:
http://www.metaltoad.com/sites/default/files/Responsive-Widths_0.png
you can use this code:
<style type="text/css">
#media all{
.my-header-grid.ui-grid-b .ui-block-a { width: 30%; }
.my-header-grid.ui-grid-b .ui-block-b { width: 40%; }
.my-header-grid.ui-grid-b .ui-block-c { width: 30%; }
}
}
</style>
<div class="my-header-grid ui-grid-b" data-theme="a">
<div class="ui-block-a ui-bar-a" data-theme="a">
<div align="left" style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:3px;height:33px;height:40px;">
Back
Edit
</div>
</div>
<div class="ui-block-b ui-bar-a">
<div align="center" style="padding-top:3px;height:33px;text-align:center;height:40px;">
<div style="padding-top:7px;">
<article role="heading" aria-level="1">expand </article>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="ui-block-c ui-bar-a">
<div align="right" style="padding-top:3px;height:33px;height:40px;">
Add
Refresh
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- /grid-b -->
if by any chance your programming with c# mvc razor engine don't forget to write the css media tag with 2 # like so ##media because the razor engine treats 2 # as one.
you see and can play with all of the designs shown here in this link:
http://jsfiddle.net/yakirmanor/BAat8/
iv added some links but i recommend youll read this:
http://appcropolis.com/blog/advanced-customization-jquery-mobile-buttons/
the simple implantation is:
<header data-role ="header" data-theme="a">
<a data-icon="back" href="/" rel="external">Back</a>
<h1 class="ui-title" role="heading">Staff</h1>
<a class="ui-btn-right" data-icon="back" href="#" rel="external">Refresh</a>
</header>
or this:
<div data-role="header" data-theme="b">
<a data-icon="back" href="/" rel="external">Back</a>
<h1 class="ui-title" role="heading">Staff</h1>
<div class="ui-btn-right" data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
filter
move
</div>
</div>
or this:
<div data-role="header" data-theme="e">
<div class="ui-btn-left" data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
filter
move
</div>
<h1 class="ui-title" role="heading">Staff</h1>
<div class="ui-btn-right" data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
filter
move
</div>
</div>
hope iv helped.
It might be easier to create a custom navbar instead of modifying the header toolbar, Here si the docs: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/#docs/toolbars/docs-navbar.html
This might help:
<div class="ui-btn-right">
<!-- Home Button -->
<a href="index.html" data-role="button"
data-icon="refresh" data-iconpos="notext" data-direction="reverse" data-corners="true"
data-shadow="true" data-iconshadow="true" data-wrapperels="span" data-theme="b" title="Refresh">
</a>
<!-- Home Button -->
<a href="index.html" data-role="button"
data-icon="home" data-iconpos="notext" data-direction="reverse" data-corners="true"
data-shadow="true" data-iconshadow="true" data-wrapperels="span" data-theme="b" title="Home">
</a>
</div>
This gives me those nice rounded buttons, two side by side on the right side.
Just like on the mobile docs.
Works in 1.1.1, haven't tried the latest RC
I was able to achieve this by the following code:
<div data-role ="header" data-theme="b">
Prev
<div data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" style="margin-left:75px;margin-top:5px;" >
<a href="index.html" data-role="button" data-icon="arrow-l" >P.Week</a>
N.Week
</div>
Next
</div>
No, there is a hard limit of 2 as far as I have found. The best I was able to come up with was to get another unstyled link to appear.
There are however, navbars - On one of my projects, I needed a number of buttons in the header area, I placed a navbar directly below it, and was reasonable pleased with the results.
They are explained in detail here:
