Botstrap sidebar with background color

Question

I have a simple bootstrap layout that gives me 2 columns - one LEFT and one RIGHT. Using a 12-column grid in Bootstrap format - there should be 8 wide and 4 right columns on the left, as shown below.

<div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8">Left Content</div> <div class="col-md-4">Right Content</div> </div> 

Problem? How can I add a CONTAINER to a row so that everything is focused, but give the correct column a background color that extends to the edge of the browser. Therefore, if the left background color is blue and the right background is pink, the colors are executed over the entire width, keeping the contents in the center with the help of the container.

Answer 1

You can try this, it works for me, you need to add an extra css class.

 <div class="container col-md-12 nopadding"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8" style="background-color:blue;">Left Content</div> <div class="col-md-4" style="background-color:pink;">Right Content</div> </div> </div> 

and CSS as shown below

 .nopadding { padding: 0 !important; margin: 0 !important; }

Answer 3

<div class="_100"> <div class="container col-md-8 nopadding" style="background-color:blue;">
<div class="col-md-8 right nopadding" style="background-color:blue;border:white 1px solid;margin:5px">Left Content</div>
</div> <div class="container col-md-4 nopadding" style="background-color:pink;"> <div class="col-md-6 nopadding" style="background-color:pink;border:white 1px solid;margin:5px">Right Content</div> </div>
</div>

CSS

 .nopadding{padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;} ._100 {width:100%;} .right{float:right;} 

Answer 4

You should get pretty specific with your widths that will be elusive at the breakpoint, but this will work as a starting point:

DEMO: http://www.bootply.com/F9PCGnQr6Y

 <div class="container bg-grey">Example Container</div> <div class="col-md-8 bg-info" style="height:100px"> <div class="row"> <div class="left-container bg-warning pull-right" style="height:50px"> <div class="col-xs-12">Left Content - is wider than in-container col-md-8, because it 8/12ths of full-width</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4 bg-danger" style="height:100px"> <div class="row"> <div class="right-container bg-success" style="height:50px"> <div class="col-xs-12">Right Content</div> </div> </div> </div> 

You definitely need to write some kind of custom behavior at the breakpoint, and it may also be necessary that the inner containers be col-7 and col-5, since the original col-8 turned out to be very wide, but these settings are up to you ...

Answer 5

I am surprised to find only a few of these questions. I had a similar requirement, and I was able to solve it using a combination of absolute positioned elements and vw blocks.

Basically, a wrapper element has a background color of the left side so that it looks as if it extends to the border of the screen, and an absolute positioned div with the same width of the viewport expands as the background of the right side.

You can see that it works in this code

The markup is as follows

 <div class="wrapper"> <!-- to style bg without with messing with container margins --> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8 left"></div> <div class="col-md-4 right"> <div class="bg"><!-- additional element that will act as background --></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> 

And css:

 /* Wrapper has the bg color of left side */ .wrapper, .left { background-color: blue; } /* Right container */ .right { background-color: pink; position: relative; /* Let it have absolute positioned children */ z-index: 0; } .right .bg { background-color: pink; /* Following will make our bg element the same size as its parent and will put it behind it making it look like a background */ position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; height: 100%; z-index: -1; width: 100%; // fallback for old browsers, bg will be same size as its parent width: 100vw; // Have the bg the same width as the screen, making the bg hang outside the screen } 

Note that since bg will be hanging outside the container, you will need a wrapper div or one of its parent objects in order to have the overflow-x property as hidden , otherwise horizontal scrollbars will appear.

If you have certain elements inside your right column, you can use css pseudo elements like :before to avoid declaring a bg element.

In addition, you need to set appropriate screen breakpoints to create this for smaller screen sizes.

Check out my solution. I think you need this one - codepen But you need to enable bootstrap 4 instead of bootstrap 3

 html, body, .wrapper{ height:100%; } .wrapper{ padding:10px; } .right { position: relative; z-index: 0; padding:0 !important; } .wrapper { background-color: #00a2ff; overflow-x: hidden; } .right:before { content:""; background-color: #f7469e; height: 100%; position: fixed; top: 0; width: 100%; width: 100vw; z-index: -1; } body { background-color: #999; color: #fff; } .left, .right { outline: 1px solid #fff; } 

 <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-8 left">Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</div> <div class="col-4 right">Right Content -THIS CONTENT MUST NOT BE FULL WIDTH. MUST ONLY BE WIDTH OF col-md-4. THE BACKGROUND COLOR must be full-width.</div> </div> </div> </div>

Here is the solution. The blocks are adaptive, you can set any height for both blocks, the height is also set automatically depending on the content. codepen

 <section> <div class="container"> <div class="block block_left"> <div class="block__content"> <p>              ,   .  ,  ,           ,   . !              . !            ,   .    ,             ,   .      -         ,      . </p> <p>  ,              ()      .  ,  ,             .              .                . </p> <p>            .    ,             ,      .      -       ()     .   ,             .    ,             .               . </p> <p>                 .             ,   . </p> <p>               . !             . </p> <p>            .   ,   -         . </p> </div> </div> <div class="block block_right"> <div class="block__content"> <p>            .    ,             ,      .      -       ()     .   ,             .    ,             .               . </p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <style> body { overflow-x: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .container { width: 100%; max-width: 1170px; margin: 0 auto; font-size: 0px; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } .block { display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; color: white; vertical-align: top; } .block_left { width: 70%; } .block_right { width: 30%; } .block::before { content: ''; width: 150vw; height: 100%; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 0px; z-index: -1; background: #3f80cb; min-height: 100vh; } .block_right:before { background: #d55bc3; right: auto; left: 0px; } .block__content { outline: 1px solid #ffffff91; margin: 20px; padding: 1px 10px; } @media screen and (max-width: 700px) { .block { width: 100%; } .block::before { min-height: 0px; } } </style>

you can try this and you can change as you want, no need to add extra css.

 <div class="container col-md-12"> <div class="row col-md-6 col-md-offset-3"> <div class="col-md-8" style="background-color:blue;">Left Content</div> <div class="col-md-4" style="background-color:pink;">Right Content</div> </div> </div>
