Bootstrap Grid Example: Stacked-to-horizontal
We will create a basic grid system that starts out stacked on extra small devices, before becoming horizontal on larger devices.
The following example shows a simple "stacked-to-horizontal" two-column layout, meaning it will result in a 50%/50% split on all screens, except for extra small screens, which it will automatically stack (100%):
col-sm-6
col-sm-6
Example: Stacked-to-horizontal
<div class="container">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6" style="background-color:yellow;">
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6" style="background-color:pink;">
<p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Tip: The numbers in the
.col-sm-classes indicates how many columns the div should span (out of 12). So,.col-sm-1spans 1 column,.col-sm-4spans 4 columns,.col-sm-6spans 6 columns, etc. Note: Make sure that the sum always adds up to 12!
Tip: You can turn any fixed-width layout into a full-width layout by changing the .container class to .container-fluid:
Example: Fluid container
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6" style="background-color:yellow;">
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6" style="background-color:pink;">
<p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
