Leaflet map and bootstrap 3 - twitter-bootstrap-3

Please have a look at http://www.bootply.com/133473.
I have at least a couple of problems and I didn't find any solution up to now...
First problem:
The leaflet map is 0px height and the next row is not in the correct position.
Second problem (but maybe it is related to the first one):
On a small device the width of the map is the full width but I'd like to have a margin and I wasn't able to get it (I tried but margin-left, margin-right and padding-left, padding-right...) and of course the text row is superimposed to the map and that's not what I want...

Looking at your bootply posting, it looks like your first problem was solved (I see the map so the height must not be 0px).
As for your second problem, it is the Bootstrap Editor that is not able to show your app on smaller screens. This problem may go away when you view your app on its own web page.

Default Shopify CSS seems busted, can't edit site. Attached image

Out of the blue, EVERY browser shows the same problem. The left-most column is squashed and refuses to expand. It makes it impossible to edit the template options. Any ideas? thanks :-)
This looks like a glitch with Shopify and would be better addressed by opening up a support ticket with their support team
Note: If you shrink your screen width to 599px wide or less, the sidebar should expand to be 100% of the window width - this might help if you're in a pinch and need to make updates right now

Bootstrap 3 navbar jumping onto two lines rather than collapsing?

Think I'm missing the obvious here, but I have a Bookstrap 3 navbar that works great in desktop view but as I squeeze the width and it gets to tablet size rather than collapsing into the toggle menu it's jumping the menu onto two lines:

I've tried reducing the text size in the navbar via a media query but that isn't solving it.
What am I missing?
Appreciate it. Thank you.

One solution might be to change the point at which the navbar collapses, you can do this by creating a customized Bootstrap and setting the #grid-float-breakpoint to a larger number.
This variable unfortunately also influences the dt and dd inside a .dl-horizontal which might be a problem.
If you want to use a media query to reduce the font-size you can use the .navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a selector. It however needs to become 9px at the smallest viewport size to still stay on a single row which is quite unreadable.
From the Bootstrap documentation:
Overflowing content
Since Bootstrap doesn't know how much space the content in your navbar needs, you might run into issues with content wrapping into a second row. To resolve this, you can:
Reduce the amount or width of navbar items.
Hide certain navbar items at certain screen sizes using responsive utility classes.
Change the point at which your navbar switches between collapsed and horizontal mode. Customize the #grid-float-breakpoint variable or add your own media query.
It goes on to say:
Changing the collapsed mobile navbar breakpoint
The navbar collapses into its vertical mobile view when the viewport is narrower than #grid-float-breakpoint, and expands into its horizontal non-mobile view when the viewport is at least #grid-float-breakpoint in width. Adjust this variable in the Less source to control when the navbar collapses/expands. The default value is 768px (the smallest "small" or "tablet" screen).

Is there a straightforward way to specifically position bootstrap elements

I'd like to position bootstrap elements - buttons or other, at a given horizontal start position on my page. The exact horizontal position should vary dynamically. It seems html (and to some extent bootstrap) wasn't exactly cut out for this but is there a good way to reliably accomplish that?
My best shot is fiddling with its horizontal margin. Is there something even more straightforward, that will bypass the need to consider all other elements in its column and can directly use the desired height regardless of what's else in the column?

Header of a WP responsive theme won't properly remain on top at the top when scrolling; position:fixed and width:any% throws it out of whack

The WP responsive theme I'm working on:
http://www.wpexplorer.me/tetris/
I use Firebug for Firefox browser addon thingy to make changes before messing with the actual files. So if you have it or something similar, you will see that by adding position:fixed; to the #header section the header width shrinks well more than half its original size and the navigation menu is jacked up within the new shrunken space.
I have added other snippets of coding to the #header section like width:100%;, width:959px; and other percentages and pixels, which messes up the layout; especially when you resize the window down to what you would consider to be for a tablet and a mobile device - it's all out of whack. I can't get the sticky header for this theme to function or do right. Oh, I've also added z-index:200; to the #header section and margin:160px 0; to #main-content; these don't give me issues.
Adding the width: ; code to the #main-content doesn't seem to help either (which I read somewhere online that this was where the width code goes).
Anyway, does anyone know what code I need to make the header of this theme scroll up until it gets to the top of the page where it becomes sticky/static/fixed/on top (whatever the real term for it is) at all times? And, can you get it to work with the layout being in tact when the window is resized all the way down to the size of a mobile device?
Thanks.
This should work
#header-wrap{position:fixed;top:0;z-index:999;}
#pre-header{margin:20px 0 15px;width:960px;}
#main-content{margin:215px 0 30px;}
The position is fixed at the top using 0 with a z-index:999 you then need to set the width of the inner container pre-header 960px to match the rest.
You will need to setup the media queries for the other sizes you have setup. Easy, and Enjoy.
If you want the menu itself and not the social icons to become the top fixed bar without the social icons then you want to make a jquery scroll CSS change so that the #header becomes the fixed position.
It working with fixed header and social:
An illustration of it working without the social bar using a Jquery Scroll CSS change:
This is the way I would do it, I would move the menu down, and add the social icons to the menu itself. (Below is a screenshot of what I mean, the social icons are reduced to 75%)
PS. The social icons stand out to much so I would add a CSS3 Greyscale, and when the visitor hovers over them it turns on the color with a transition effect.
Hope this helps ;)

Experimenting with responsive, absolute positioned child div... (eek!)

So,
I have a fairly simple parent div containing two child divs, one is text (floated left), the other contains an image (floated left against the first child)...the float of the second is kind of irrelevant (I just don't want it to drop down below). But what I want to achieve is for the image to sit in the bottom right of the parent and STAY there. At the same time I want it to be part of a fluid grid and for the distance from the bottom/right to also be responsive.
I tried absolute positioning (with an extra parent added around it to position:relative), which just didn't work at all...it could only be left/top positioned which then wouldn't work in %'s.
I then tried adding padding (top, left) instead of using positioning, thinking I could maybe push it into place...which worked great for keeping it to the right (pushing left), but obviously didn't work for the bottom (pushing from the top), as this value needed to increase as the screen decreased rather than the other way around (doh!).
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or creative solutions?
I know I'm trying to do a number of tricky things all at the same time!!
