Bootstrap Columns Not Working

Question

Can't figure out why the columns aren't being structured with this HTML:

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-12">
            <div class="col-md-4">  
                <a href="">About</a>
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-4">
                <img src="image.png">
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-4"> 
                <a href="#myModal1" data-toggle="modal">SHARE</a>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Your Nesting DIV structure was missing, you must add another ".row" div when creating nested divs in bootstrap :

Here is the Code:

<div class="container">
   <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="col-md-4"> <a href="">About</a>

                    </div>
                    <div class="col-md-4">
                        <img src="https://www.google.ca/images/srpr/logo11w.png" width="100px" />
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-md-4"> <a href="#myModal1" data-toggle="modal">SHARE</a>

                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Refer the Bootstrap example description for the same:

Nesting columns

To nest your content with the default grid, add a new .row and set of .col-sm-* columns within an existing .col-sm-* column. Nested rows should include a set of columns that add up to 12 or less (it is not required that you use all 12 available columns).

Answer 2

Try this:

DEMO

<div class="container-fluid"> <!-- If Needed Left and Right Padding in 'md' and 'lg' screen means use container class -->
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
                    <a href="#">About</a>
                </div>
                <div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
                    <img src="image.png" />
                </div>
                <div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
                    <a href="#myModal1" data-toggle="modal">SHARE</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

Answer 3

Have you checked that those classes are present in the CSS? Are you using twitter-bootstrap-rails gem? It still uses Bootstrap 2.X version and those are Bootstrap 3.X classes. The CSS grid changed since.

You can switch to the bootstrap3 branch of the gem https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails/tree/bootstrap3 or include boostrap in an alternative way.

Answer 4

While this does not address the OP's question, I had trouble with my bootstrap rows / columns while trying to use them in conjunction with Kendo ListView (even with the bootstrap-kendo css).

Adding the following css fixed the problem for me:

#myListView.k-widget, #catalog-items.k-widget * {
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-12">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-4">  
                    <a href="">About</a>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-4">
                    <img src="image.png">
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-4"> 
                    <a href="#myModal1" data-toggle="modal">SHARE</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

You need to nest the interior columns inside of a row rather than just another column. It offsets the padding caused by the column with negative margins.

A simpler way would be

<div class="container">
   <div class="row">
       <div class="col-md-4">  
          <a href="">About</a>
       </div>
       <div class="col-md-4">
          <img src="image.png">
       </div>
       <div class="col-md-4"> 
           <a href="#myModal1" data-toggle="modal">SHARE</a>
       </div>
    </div>
</div>
