Overview
Get the lowdown on the key pieces of Bootstrap's infrastructure, including our approach to better, faster, stronger web development.
HTML5 doctype
Bootstrap makes use of certain HTML elements and CSS properties that require the use of the HTML5 doctype. Include it at the beginning of all your projects.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
...
</html>mobile first
With Bootstrap 2, we added optional mobile friendly styles for key aspects of the framework. With Bootstrap 3, we've rewritten the project to be mobile friendly from the start. Instead of adding on optional mobile styles, they're baked right into the core. In fact, Bootstrap is mobile first . Mobile first styles can be found throughout the entire library instead of in separate files.
To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming, add the viewport meta tag to your <head>.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">You can disable zooming capabilities on mobile devices by adding user-scalable=noto the viewport meta tag. This disables zooming, meaning users are only able to scroll, and results in your site feeling a bit more like a native application. Overall, we don't recommend this on every site, so use caution!
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">Typography and links
Bootstrap sets basic global display, typography, and link styles. Specifically, we
- Set
background-color: #fff;on thebody - Use the
@font-family-base,@font-size-base, and@line-height-baseattributes as our typographic base - Set the global link color via
@link-colorand apply link underlines only on:hover
These styles can be found within scaffolding.less.
normalize.css
For improved cross-browser rendering, we use Normalize.css , a project by Nicolas Gallagher and Jonathan Neal .
Containers
Bootstrap requires a containing element to wrap site contents and house our grid system. You may choose one of two containers to use in your projects. Note that, due to paddingand more, neither container is nestable.
Use .containerfor a responsive fixed width container.
<div class="container">
...
</div>Use .container-fluidfor a full width container, spanning the entire width of your viewport.
<div class="container-fluid">
...
</div>grid system
Bootstrap includes a responsive, mobile first fluid grid system that appropriately scales up to 12 columns as the device or viewport size increases. It includes predefined classes for easy layout options, as well as powerful mixins for generating more semantic layouts .
Introduction
Grid systems are used for creating page layouts through a series of rows and columns that house your content. Here's how the Bootstrap grid system works:
- Rows must be placed within a
.container(fixed-width) or.container-fluid(full-width) for proper alignment and padding. - Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.
- Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be immediate children of rows.
- Predefined grid classes like
.rowand.col-xs-4are available for quickly making grid layouts. Less mixins can also be used for more semantic layouts. - Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via
padding. That padding is offset in rows for the first and last column via negative margin on.rows. - The negative margin is why the examples below are outdented. It's so that content within grid columns is lined up with non-grid content.
- Grid columns are created by specifying the number of twelve available columns you wish to span. For example, three equal columns would use three
.col-xs-4. - If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line.
- Grid classes apply to devices with screen widths greater than or equal to the breakpoint sizes, and override grid classes targeted at smaller devices. Therefore, eg applying any
.col-md-*class to an element will not only affect its styling on medium devices but also on large devices if a.col-lg-*class is not present.
Look to the examples for applying these principles to your code.
Media queries
We use the following media queries in our Less files to create the key breakpoints in our grid system.
/* Extra small devices (phones, less than 768px) */
/* No media query since this is the default in Bootstrap */
/* Small devices (tablets, 768px and up) */
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) { ... }
/* Medium devices (desktops, 992px and up) */
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) { ... }
/* Large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up) */
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) { ... }We occasionally expand on these media queries to include a max-widthto limit CSS to a narrower set of devices.
@media (max-width: @screen-xs-max) { ... }
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) and (max-width: @screen-sm-max) { ... }
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) and (max-width: @screen-md-max) { ... }
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) { ... }Grid Options
See how aspects of the Bootstrap grid system work across multiple devices with a handy table.
| Extra small devices Phones (<768px) | Small devices Tablets (≥768px) | Medium devices Desktops (≥992px) | Large devices Desktops (≥1200px) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| grid behavior | Horizontal at all times | Collapsed to start, horizontal above breakpoints | ||
| Container width | None (auto) | 750px | 970px | 1170px |
| class prefix | .col-xs- |
.col-sm- |
.col-md- |
.col-lg- |
| # of columns | 12 | |||
| Column width | Auto | ~62px | ~81px | ~97px |
| Gutter width | 30px (15px on each side of a column) | |||
| Nestable | Yes | |||
| offsets | Yes | |||
| column ordering | Yes | |||
Example: Stacked-to-horizontal
Using a single set of .col-md-*grid classes, you can create a basic grid system that starts out stacked on mobile devices and tablet devices (the extra small to small range) before becoming horizontal on desktop (medium) devices. Place grid columns in any .row.

</div>Example: Fluid container
Turn any fixed-width grid layout into a full-width layout by changing your outermost .containerto .container-fluid.
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
...
</div>
</div>Example: Mobile and desktop
Don't want your columns to simply stack in smaller devices? Use the extra small and medium device grid classes by adding .col-xs-* .col-md-*to your columns. See the example below for a better idea of how it all works.
.col-xs-12 .col-md-8
.col-xs-6 .col-md-4
.col-xs-6 .col-md-4
.col-xs-6 .col-md-4
.col-xs-6 .col-md-4
.col-xs-6
.col-xs-6
<!-- Stack the columns on mobile by making one full-width and the other half-width -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">.col-xs-12 .col-md-8</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4">.col-xs-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
<!-- Columns start at 50% wide on mobile and bump up to 33.3% wide on desktop -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4">.col-xs-6 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4">.col-xs-6 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4">.col-xs-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
<!-- Columns are always 50% wide, on mobile and desktop -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">.col-xs-6</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">.col-xs-6</div>
</div>Example: Mobile, tablet, desktop
Build on the previous example by creating even more dynamic and powerful layouts with tablet .col-sm-*classes.
.col-xs-12 .col-sm-6 .col-md-8
.col-xs-6 .col-md-4
.col-xs-6 .col-sm-4
.col-xs-6 .col-sm-4
.col-xs-6 .col-sm-4
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-8">.col-xs-12 .col-sm-6 .col-md-8</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4">.col-xs-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4">.col-xs-6 .col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4">.col-xs-6 .col-sm-4</div>
<!-- Optional: clear the XS cols if their content doesn't match in height -->
<div class="clearfix visible-xs-block"></div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4">.col-xs-6 .col-sm-4</div>
</div>Example: Column wrapping
If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line.
.col-xs-9
.col-xs-4
Since 9 + 4 = 13 > 12, this 4-column-wide div gets wrapped onto a new line as one contiguous unit.
Since 9 + 4 = 13 > 12, this 4-column-wide div gets wrapped onto a new line as one contiguous unit.
.col-xs-6
Subsequent columns continue along the new line.
Subsequent columns continue along the new line.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-9">.col-xs-9</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">.col-xs-4<br>Since 9 + 4 = 13 > 12, this 4-column-wide div gets wrapped onto a new line as one contiguous unit.</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">.col-xs-6<br>Subsequent columns continue along the new line.</div>
</div>Responsive column resets
With the four tiers of grids available you're bound to run into issues where, at certain breakpoints, your columns don't clear quite right as one is taller than the other. To fix that, use a combination of a .clearfixand our responsive utility classes .
.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3
Resize your viewport or check it out on your phone for an example.
Resize your viewport or check it out on your phone for an example.
.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3
.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3
.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3">.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3">.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3</div>
<!-- Add the extra clearfix for only the required viewport -->
<div class="clearfix visible-xs-block"></div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3">.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3">.col-xs-6 .col-sm-3</div>
</div>In addition to column clearing at responsive breakpoints, you may need to reset offsets, pushes, or pulls . See this in action in the grid example .
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-5 col-md-6">.col-sm-5 .col-md-6</div>
<div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-2 col-md-6 col-md-offset-0">.col-sm-5 .col-sm-offset-2 .col-md-6 .col-md-offset-0</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-5 col-lg-6">.col-sm-6 .col-md-5 .col-lg-6</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-5 col-md-offset-2 col-lg-6 col-lg-offset-0">.col-sm-6 .col-md-5 .col-md-offset-2 .col-lg-6 .col-lg-offset-0</div>
</div>offset columns
Move columns to the right using .col-md-offset-*classes. These classes increase the left margin of a column by *columns. For example, .col-md-offset-4moves .col-md-4over four columns.
.col-md-4
.col-md-4 .col-md-offset-4
.col-md-3 .col-md-offset-3
.col-md-3 .col-md-offset-3
.col-md-6 .col-md-offset-3
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4">.col-md-4 .col-md-offset-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-3">.col-md-3 .col-md-offset-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-3">.col-md-3 .col-md-offset-3</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">.col-md-6 .col-md-offset-3</div>
</div>You can also override offsets from lower grid tiers with .col-*-offset-0classes.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-xs-offset-3 col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-0">
</div>
</div>Nesting columns
To nest your content with the default grid, add a new .rowand 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 fewer (it is not required that you use all 12 available columns).
Level 1: .col-sm-9
Level 2: .col-xs-8 .col-sm-6
Level 2: .col-xs-4 .col-sm-6
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-9">
Level 1: .col-sm-9
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-8 col-sm-6">
Level 2: .col-xs-8 .col-sm-6
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-6">
Level 2: .col-xs-4 .col-sm-6
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>column ordering
Easily change the order of our built-in grid columns with .col-md-push-*and .col-md-pull-*modifier classes.
.col-md-9 .col-md-push-3
.col-md-3 .col-md-pull-9
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-9 col-md-push-3">.col-md-9 .col-md-push-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-md-pull-9">.col-md-3 .col-md-pull-9</div>
</div>Less mixins and variables
In addition to prebuilt grid classes for fast layouts, Bootstrap includes Less variables and mixins for quickly generating your own simple, semantic layouts.
Variables
Variables determine the number of columns, the gutter width, and the media query point at which to begin floating columns. We use these to generate the predefined grid classes documented above, as well as for the custom mixins listed below.
@grid-columns: 12;
@grid-gutter-width: 30px;
@grid-float-breakpoint: 768px;Mixins
Mixins are used in conjunction with the grid variables to generate semantic CSS for individual grid columns.
// Creates a wrapper for a series of columns
.make-row(@gutter: @grid-gutter-width) {
// Then clear the floated columns
.clearfix();
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) {
margin-left: (@gutter / -2);
margin-right: (@gutter / -2);
}
// Negative margin nested rows out to align the content of columns
.row {
margin-left: (@gutter / -2);
margin-right: (@gutter / -2);
}
}
// Generate the extra small columns
.make-xs-column(@columns; @gutter: @grid-gutter-width) {
position: relative;
// Prevent columns from collapsing when empty
min-height: 1px;
// Inner gutter via padding
padding-left: (@gutter / 2);
padding-right: (@gutter / 2);
// Calculate width based on number of columns available
@media (min-width: @grid-float-breakpoint) {
float: left;
width: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
// Generate the small columns
.make-sm-column(@columns; @gutter: @grid-gutter-width) {
position: relative;
// Prevent columns from collapsing when empty
min-height: 1px;
// Inner gutter via padding
padding-left: (@gutter / 2);
padding-right: (@gutter / 2);
// Calculate width based on number of columns available
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) {
float: left;
width: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
// Generate the small column offsets
.make-sm-column-offset(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) {
margin-left: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
.make-sm-column-push(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) {
left: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
.make-sm-column-pull(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) {
right: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
// Generate the medium columns
.make-md-column(@columns; @gutter: @grid-gutter-width) {
position: relative;
// Prevent columns from collapsing when empty
min-height: 1px;
// Inner gutter via padding
padding-left: (@gutter / 2);
padding-right: (@gutter / 2);
// Calculate width based on number of columns available
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) {
float: left;
width: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
// Generate the medium column offsets
.make-md-column-offset(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) {
margin-left: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
.make-md-column-push(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) {
left: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
.make-md-column-pull(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) {
right: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
// Generate the large columns
.make-lg-column(@columns; @gutter: @grid-gutter-width) {
position: relative;
// Prevent columns from collapsing when empty
min-height: 1px;
// Inner gutter via padding
padding-left: (@gutter / 2);
padding-right: (@gutter / 2);
// Calculate width based on number of columns available
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) {
float: left;
width: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
// Generate the large column offsets
.make-lg-column-offset(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) {
margin-left: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
.make-lg-column-push(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) {
left: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}
.make-lg-column-pull(@columns) {
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) {
right: percentage((@columns / @grid-columns));
}
}example usage
You can modify the variables to your own custom values, or just use the mixins with their default values. Here's an example of using the default settings to create a two-column layout with a gap between.
.wrapper {
.make-row();
}
.content-main {
.make-lg-column(8);
}
.content-secondary {
.make-lg-column(3);
.make-lg-column-offset(1);
}<div class="wrapper">
<div class="content-main">...</div>
<div class="content-secondary">...</div>
</div>Typography

Bootstrap's global default font-sizeis 14px , with a line-heightof 1.428 . This is applied to the <body>and all paragraphs. In addition, <p>(paragraphs) receive a bottom margin of half their computed line-height (10px by default).
Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula.

Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
<p>...</p>Lead body copy
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
<p class="lead">...</p>Built with Less
The typographic scale is based on two Less variables in variables.less : @font-size-baseand @line-height-base. The first is the base font-size used throughout and the second is the base line-height. We use those variables and some simple math to create the margins, paddings, and line-heights of all our type and more. Customize them and Bootstrap adapts.
Inline text elements
Marked text
For highlighting a run of text due to its relevance in another context, use the <mark>tag.
You can use the mark tag tohighlighttext.
You can use the mark tag to <mark>highlight</mark> text.Deleted text
For indicating blocks of text that have been deleted use the <del>tag.
This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.
<del>This line of text is meant to be treated as deleted text.</del>Strike through text
For indicating blocks of text that are no longer relevant use the <s>tag.
This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer accurate.
<s>This line of text is meant to be treated as no longer accurate.</s>Inserted text
For indicating additions to the document use the <ins>tag.
This line of text is meant to be treated as an addition to the document.

<u>This line of text will render as underlined</u>Make use of HTML's default emphasis tags with lightweight styles.
small text
For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the <small>tag to set text at 85% the size of the parent. Heading elements receive their own font-sizefor nested <small>elements.
You may alternatively use an inline element with .smallin place of any <small>.
This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
<blockquote>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
</blockquote>Blockquote options
Style and content changes for simple variations on a standard <blockquote>.
Naming a source
Add a <footer>for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
<blockquote>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
<footer>Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
</blockquote>Alternate displays
Add .blockquote-reversefor a blockquote with right-aligned content.

Horizontal description lists will truncate terms that are too long to fit in the left column with text-overflow. In narrower viewports, they will change to the default stacked layout.
Code
Inline
Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>.
For example,
<section>should be wrapped as inline.

basic example
For basic styling—light padding and only horizontal dividers—add the base class .tableto any <table>. It may seem super redundant, but given the widespread use of tables for other plugins like calendars and date pickers, we've opted to isolate our custom table styles.

</tr>Conveying meaning to assistive technologies
Using color to add meaning to a table row or individual cell only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (the visible text in the relevant table row/cell), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-onlyclass.
Responsive tables
Create responsive tables by wrapping any .tablein .table-responsiveto make them scroll horizontally on small devices (under 768px). When viewing on anything larger than 768px wide, you will not see any difference in these tables.
Vertical clipping/truncation
Responsive tables make use of overflow-y: hidden, which clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this can clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.
Firefox and fieldsets
Firefox has some awkward fieldset styling involving widththat interferes with the responsive table. This cannot be overridden without a Firefox-specific hack that we don't provide in Bootstrap:
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
fieldset { display: table-cell; }

</div>Forms
basic example
Individual form controls automatically receive some global styling. All textual <input>, <textarea>, and <select>elements with .form-controlare set to width: 100%;by default. Wrap labels and controls in .form-groupfor optimum spacing.
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputPassword1">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword1" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputFile">File input</label>
<input type="file" id="exampleInputFile">
<p class="help-block">Example block-level help text here.</p>
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> Check me out
</label>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>Don't mix form groups with input groups
Do not mix form groups directly with input groups . Instead, nest the input group inside of the form group.
inline form
Add .form-inlineto your form (which doesn't have to be a <form>) for left-aligned and inline-block controls. This only applies to forms within viewports that are at least 768px wide.
May require custom widths
Inputs and selects have width: 100%;applied by default in Bootstrap. Within inline forms, we reset that to width: auto;so multiple controls can reside on the same line. Depending on your layout, additional custom widths may be required.
Always add labels
Screen readers will have trouble with your forms if you don't include a label for every input. For these inline forms, you can hide the labels using the .sr-onlyclass. There are further alternative methods of providing a label for assistive technologies, such as the aria-label, aria-labelledbyor titleattribute. If none of these is present, screen readers may resort to using the placeholderattribute, if present, but note that use of placeholderas a replacement for other labeling methods is not advised.
<form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputName2">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputName2" placeholder="Jane Doe">

<div class="input-group-addon">.00</div>
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Transfer cash</button>
</form>horizontal form
Use Bootstrap's predefined grid classes to align labels and groups of form controls in a horizontal layout by adding .form-horizontalto the form (which doesn't have to be a <form>). Doing so changes .form-groupto behave as grid rows, so no need for .row.
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail3" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword3" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> Remember me
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Sign in</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>Supported controls
Examples of standard form controls supported in an example form layout.
Inputs
Most common form control, text-based input fields. Includes support for all HTML5 types: text, password, datetime, datetime-local, date, month, time, week, number, email, url, search, tel, and color.
Type declaration required
Inputs will only be fully styled if their typeis properly declared.
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Text input">input groups
To add integrated text or buttons before and/or after any text-based <input>, check out the input group component .
textarea
Form control which supports multiple lines of text. Change rowsattribute as necessary.
<textarea class="form-control" rows="3"></textarea>Checkboxes and radios
Checkboxes are for selecting one or several options in a list, while radios are for selecting one option from many.
Disabled checkboxes and radios are supported, but to provide a "not-allowed" cursor on hover of the parent <label>, you'll need to add the .disabledclass to the parent .radio, .radio-inline, .checkbox, or .checkbox-inline.
default (stacked)
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" value="">
Option one is this and that—be sure to include why it's great
</label>
</div>
<div class="checkbox disabled">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" value="" disabled>
Option two is disabled
</label>
</div>
<div class="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios1" value="option1" checked>
Option one is this and that—be sure to include why it's great
</label>
</div>
<div class="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios2" value="option2">
Option two can be something else and selecting it will deselect option one
</label>
</div>
<div class="radio disabled">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="optionsRadios" id="optionsRadios3" value="option3" disabled>
Option three is disabled
</label>
</div>Inline checkboxes and radios
Use the .checkbox-inlineor .radio-inlineclasses on a series of checkboxes or radios for controls that appear on the same line.
<label class="checkbox-inline">
<input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox1" value="option1"> 1
</label>
<label class="checkbox-inline">
<input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox2" value="option2"> 2
</label>
<label class="checkbox-inline">
<input type="checkbox" id="inlineCheckbox3" value="option3"> 3
</label>
<label class="radio-inline">
<input type="radio" name="inlineRadioOptions" id="inlineRadio1" value="option1"> 1
</label>
<label class="radio-inline">
<input type="radio" name="inlineRadioOptions" id="inlineRadio2" value="option2"> 2
</label>
<label class="radio-inline">
<input type="radio" name="inlineRadioOptions" id="inlineRadio3" value="option3"> 3
</label>Checkboxes and radios without label text
Should you have no text within the <label>, the input is positioned as you'd expect. Currently only works on non-inline checkboxes and radios. Remember to still provide some form of label for assistive technologies (for instance, using aria-label).
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="blankCheckbox" value="option1" aria-label="...">
</label>
</div>
<div class="radio">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="blankRadio" id="blankRadio1" value="option1" aria-label="...">
</label>
</div>Selects
Note that many native select menus—namely in Safari and Chrome—have rounded corners that cannot be modified via border-radiusproperties.
<select class="form-control">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>For <select>controls with the multipleattribute, multiple options are shown by default.
<select multiple class="form-control">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>static control
When you need to place plain text next to a form label within a form, use the .form-control-staticclass on a <p>.
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<p class="form-control-static">[email protected]</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
</form><form class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only">Email</label>
<p class="form-control-static">[email protected]</p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputPassword2" class="sr-only">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword2" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Confirm identity</button>
</form>focus state
We remove the default outlinestyles on some form controls and apply a box-shadowin its place for :focus.
demo :focusstate
The above example input uses custom styles in our documentation to demonstrate the :focusstate on a .form-control.
disabled state
Add the disabledboolean attribute on an input to prevent user interactions. Disabled inputs appear lighter and add a not-allowedcursor.
<input class="form-control" id="disabledInput" type="text" placeholder="Disabled input here..." disabled>Disabled fieldsets
Add the disabledattribute to a <fieldset>to disable all the controls within the <fieldset>at once.
Caveat about link functionality of<a>
By default, browsers will treat all native form controls ( <input>, <select>and <button>elements) inside a <fieldset disabled>as disabled, preventing both keyboard and mouse interactions on them. However, if your form also includes <a ... class="btn btn-*">elements, these will only be given a style of pointer-events: none. As noted in the section about disabled state for buttons (and specifically in the sub-section for anchor elements), this CSS property is not yet standardized and isn't fully supported in Opera 18 and below, or in Internet Explorer 11, and won't 't prevent keyboard users from being able to focus or activate these links. So to be safe, use custom JavaScript to disable such links.
Cross-browser compatibility
While Bootstrap will apply these styles in all browsers, Internet Explorer 11 and below don't fully support the disabledattribute on a <fieldset>. Use custom JavaScript to disable the fieldset in these browsers.
<form>
<fieldset disabled>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="disabledTextInput">Disabled input</label>
<input type="text" id="disabledTextInput" class="form-control" placeholder="Disabled input">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="disabledSelect">Disabled select menu</label>
<select id="disabledSelect" class="form-control">
<option>Disabled select</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> Can't check this
</label>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</fieldset>
</form>Readonly state
Add the readonlyboolean attribute on an input to prevent modification of the input's value. Read-only inputs appear lighter (just like disabled inputs), but retain the standard cursor.
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Readonly input here…" readonly>Help text
Block level help text for form controls.
Associating help text with form controls
Help text should be explicitly associated with the form control it relates to using the aria-describedbyattribute. This will ensure that assistive technologies – such as screen readers – will announce this help text when the user focuses or enters the control.
<label class="sr-only" for="inputHelpBlock">Input with help text</label>
<input type="text" id="inputHelpBlock" class="form-control" aria-describedby="helpBlock">
...
<span id="helpBlock" class="help-block">A block of help text that breaks onto a new line and may extend beyond one line.</span>Validation states
Bootstrap includes validation styles for error, warning, and success states on form controls. To use, add .has-warning, .has-error, or .has-successto the parent element. Any .control-label, .form-control, and .help-blockwithin that element will receive the validation styles.
Conveying validation state to assistive technologies and colorblind users
Using these validation styles to denote the state of a form control only provides a visual, color-based indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies - such as screen readers - or to colorblind users.
Ensure that an alternative indication of state is also provided. For instance, you can include a hint about state in the form control's <label>text itself (as is the case in the following code example), include a Glyphicon (with appropriate alternative text using the .sr-onlyclass - see the Glyphicon examples ), or by providing an additional help text block. Specifically for assistive technologies, invalid form controls can also be assigned an aria-invalid="true"attribute.
<div class="form-group has-success">
<label class="control-label" for="inputSuccess1">Input with success</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSuccess1" aria-describedby="helpBlock2">
<span id="helpBlock2" class="help-block">A block of help text that breaks onto a new line and may extend beyond one line.</span>
</div>
<div class="form-group has-warning">
<label class="control-label" for="inputWarning1">Input with warning</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputWarning1">
</div>
<div class="form-group has-error">
<label class="control-label" for="inputError1">Input with error</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputError1">
</div>
<div class="has-success">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxSuccess" value="option1">
Checkbox with success
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="has-warning">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxWarning" value="option1">
Checkbox with warning
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="has-error">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="checkboxError" value="option1">
Checkbox with error
</label>
</div>
</div>With optional icons
You can also add optional feedback icons with the addition of .has-feedbackand the right icon.
Feedback icons only work with textual <input class="form-control">elements.
Icons, labels, and input groups
Manual positioning of feedback icons is required for inputs without a label and for input groups with an add-on on the right. You are strongly encouraged to provide labels for all inputs for accessibility reasons. If you wish to prevent labels from being displayed, hide them with the .sr-onlyclass. If you must do without labels, adjust the topvalue of the feedback icon. For input groups, adjust the rightvalue to an appropriate pixel value depending on the width of your addon.
Conveying the icon's meaning to assistive technologies
To ensure that assistive technologies – such as screen readers – correctly convey the meaning of an icon, additional hidden text should be included with the .sr-onlyclass and explicitly associated with the form control it relates to using aria-describedby. Alternatively, ensure that the meaning (for instance, the fact that there is a warning for a particular text entry field) is conveyed in some other form, such as changing the text of the actual <label>associated with the form control.
Although the following examples already mention the validation state of their respective form controls in the <label>text itself, the above technique (using .sr-onlytext and aria-describedby) has been included for illustrative purposes.
<div class="form-group has-success has-feedback">
<label class="control-label" for="inputSuccess2">Input with success</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSuccess2" aria-describedby="inputSuccess2Status">

If you use the .sr-onlyclass to hide a form control's <label>(rather than using other labeling options, such as the aria-labelattribute), Bootstrap will automatically adjust the position of the icon once it's been added.

</div>Control sizing
Set heights using classes like .input-lg, and set widths using grid column classes like .col-lg-*.
height sizing
Create taller or shorter form controls that match button sizes.
<input class="form-control input-lg" type="text" placeholder=".input-lg">
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Default input">
<input class="form-control input-sm" type="text" placeholder=".input-sm">
<select class="form-control input-lg">...</select>
<select class="form-control">...</select>
<select class="form-control input-sm">...</select>horizontal form group sizes
Quickly size labels and form controls within .form-horizontalby adding .form-group-lgor .form-group-sm.
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group form-group-lg">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="formGroupInputLarge">Large label</label>

</div>Buttons
Button tags
Use the button classes on an <a>, <button>, or <input>element.
<a class="btn btn-default" href="#" role="button">Link</a>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Button</button>
<input class="btn btn-default" type="button" value="Input">
<input class="btn btn-default" type="submit" value="Submit">Context-specific usage
While button classes can be used on <a>and <button>elements, only <button>elements are supported within our nav and navbar components.
Links acting as buttons
If the <a>elements are used to act as buttons – triggering in-page functionality, rather than navigating to another document or section within the current page – they should also be given an appropriate role="button".
Cross-browser rendering
As a best practice, we highly recommend using the <button>element whenever possible to ensure matching cross-browser rendering.
Among other things, there's a bug in Firefox <30 that prevents us from setting the line-heightof <input>-based buttons, causing them to not exactly match the height of other buttons on Firefox.
Options
Use any of the available button classes to quickly create a styled button.
<!-- Standard button -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Default</button>
<!-- Provides extra visual weight and identifies the primary action in a set of buttons -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
<!-- Indicates a successful or positive action -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
<!-- Contextual button for informational alert messages -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
<!-- Indicates caution should be taken with this action -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning">Warning</button>
<!-- Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Danger</button>
<!-- Deemphasize a button by making it look like a link while maintaining button behavior -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-link">Link</button>Conveying meaning to assistive technologies
Using color to add meaning to a button only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (the visible text of the button), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-onlyclass.
Sizes
Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add .btn-lg, .btn-sm, or .btn-xsfor additional sizes.
<p>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Large button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg">Large button</button>
</p>
<p>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Default button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Default button</button>
</p>
<p>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Small button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-sm">Small button</button>
</p>
<p>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-xs">Extra small button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs">Extra small button</button>
</p>Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent—by adding .btn-block.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">Block level button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg btn-block">Block level button</button>active state
Buttons will appear pressed (with a darker background, darker border, and inset shadow) when active. For <button>elements, this is done via :active. For <a>elements, it's done with .active. However, you may use .activeon <button>s (and include the aria-pressed="true"attribute) should you need to replicate the active state programmatically.
button element
No need to add :activeas it's a pseudo-class, but if you need to force the same appearance, go ahead and add .active.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg active">Primary button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg active">Button</button>anchor element
Add the .activeclass to <a>buttons.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg active" role="button">Primary link</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-default btn-lg active" role="button">Link</a>disabled state
Make buttons look unclickable by fading them back with opacity.
button element
Add the disabledattribute to <button>buttons.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" disabled="disabled">Primary button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg" disabled="disabled">Button</button>Cross-browser compatibility
If you add the disabledattribute to a <button>, Internet Explorer 9 and below will render text gray with a nasty text-shadow that we cannot fix.
anchor element
Add the .disabledclass to <a>buttons.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg disabled" role="button">Primary link</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-default btn-lg disabled" role="button">Link</a>We use .disabledas a utility class here, similar to the common .activeclass, so no prefix is required.
Link functionality
This class uses pointer-events: noneto try to disable the link functionality of <a>s, but that CSS property is not yet standardized and isn't fully supported in Opera 18 and below, or in Internet Explorer 11. In addition, even in browsers that do support pointer-events: none, keyboard navigation remains unaffected, meaning that sighted keyboard users and users of assistive technologies will still be able to activate these links. So to be safe, use custom JavaScript to disable such links.
images
Responsive images
Images in Bootstrap 3 can be made responsive-friendly via the addition of the .img-responsiveclass. This applies max-width: 100%;, height: auto;and display: block;to the image so that it scales nicely to the parent element.
To center images which use the .img-responsiveclass, use .center-blockinstead of .text-center. See the helper classes section for more details about .center-blockusage.
SVG images and IE 8-10
In Internet Explorer 8-10, SVG images with .img-responsiveare disproportionately sized. To fix this, add width: 100% \9;where necessary. Bootstrap doesn't apply this automatically as it causes complications to other image formats.
<img src="..." class="img-responsive" alt="Responsive image">image shapes
Add classes to an <img>element to easily style images in any project.
Cross-browser compatibility
Keep in mind that Internet Explorer 8 lacks support for rounded corners.
<img src="..." alt="..." class="img-rounded">
<img src="..." alt="..." class="img-circle">
<img src="..." alt="..." class="img-thumbnail">Helper classes
contextual colors
Convey meaning through color with a handful of emphasis utility classes. These may also be applied to links and will darken on hover just like our default link styles.
Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris nibh.
Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.
Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.
Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna.
Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.
Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.
<p class="text-muted">...</p>
<p class="text-primary">...</p>
<p class="text-success">...</p>
<p class="text-info">...</p>
<p class="text-warning">...</p>
<p class="text-danger">...</p>Dealing with specificity
Sometimes emphasis classes cannot be applied due to the specificity of another selector. In most cases, a sufficient workaround is to wrap your text in a <span>with the class.
Conveying meaning to assistive technologies
Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (the contextual colors are only used to reinforce meaning that is already present in the text/markup), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-onlyclass .
Contextual backgrounds
Similar to the contextual text color classes, easily set the background of an element to any contextual class. Anchor components will darken on hover, just like the text classes.
Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.
Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.
Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna.
Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.
Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.
<p class="bg-primary">...</p>
<p class="bg-success">...</p>
<p class="bg-info">...</p>
<p class="bg-warning">...</p>
<p class="bg-danger">...</p>Dealing with specificity
Sometimes contextual background classes cannot be applied due to the specificity of another selector. In some cases, a sufficient workaround is to wrap your element's content in a <div>with the class.
Conveying meaning to assistive technologies
As with contextual colors , ensure that any meaning is conveyed through color is also conveyed in a format that is not purely presentational.
close icon
Use the generic close icon for dismissing content like modals and alerts.
<button type="button" class="close" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>carriages
Use carets to indicate dropdown functionality and direction. Note that the default caret will reverse automatically in dropup menus .
<span class="caret"></span>Quick floats
Float an element to the left or right with a class. !importantis included to avoid specificity issues. Classes can also be used as mixins.
<div class="pull-left">...</div>
<div class="pull-right">...</div>// Classes
.pull-left {
float: left !important;
}
.pull-right {
float: right !important;
}
// Usage as mixins
.element {
.pull-left();
}
.another-element {
.pull-right();
}Center content blocks
Set an element to display: blockand center via margin. Available as a mixin and class.
<div class="center-block">...</div>// Class
.center-block {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
// Usage as a mixin
.element {
.center-block();
}Clearfix
Easily clear floats by adding .clearfix to the parent element . Utilizes the micro clearfix as popularized by Nicolas Gallagher. Can also be used as a mixin.
<!-- Usage as a class -->
<div class="clearfix">...</div>// Mixin itself
.clearfix() {
&:before,
&:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
&:after {
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage as a mixin
.element {
.clearfix();
}Showing and hiding content
Force an element to be shown or hidden ( including for screen readers ) with the use of .showand .hiddenclasses. These classes use !importantto avoid specificity conflicts, just like the quick floats . They are only available for block level toggling. They can also be used as mixins.
.hideis available, but it does not always affect screen readers and is deprecated as of v3.0.1. Use .hiddenor .sr-onlyinstead.
Furthermore, .invisiblecan be used to toggle only the visibility of an element, meaning its displayis not modified and the element can still affect the flow of the document.
<div class="show">...</div>
<div class="hidden">...</div>// Classes
.show {
display: block !important;
}
.hidden {
display: none !important;
}
.invisible {
visibility: hidden;
}
// Usage as mixins
.element {
.show();
}
.another-element {
.hidden();
}Screen reader and keyboard navigation content
Hide an element to all devices except screen readers with .sr-only. Combine .sr-onlywith .sr-only-focusableto show the element again when it's focused (eg by a keyboard-only user). Necessary for following accessibility best practices . Can also be used as mixins.
<a class="sr-only sr-only-focusable" href="#content">Skip to main content</a>// Usage as a mixin
.skip-navigation {
.sr-only();
.sr-only-focusable();
}Image replacement
Utilize the .text-hideclass or mixin to help replace an element's text content with a background image.
<h1 class="text-hide">Custom heading</h1>// Usage as a mixin
.heading {
.text-hide();
}Responsive utilities
For faster mobile-friendly development, use these utility classes for showing and hiding content by device via media query. Also included are utility classes for toggling content when printed.
Try to use these on a limited basis and avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site. Instead, use them to complement each device's presentation.
available classes
Use a single or combination of the available classes for toggling content across viewport breakpoints.
| Extra small devicesPhones (<768px) | small devicesTablets (≥768px) | medium devicesDesktops (≥992px) | Large devicesDesktops (≥1200px) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
.visible-xs-* |
visible | Hidden | Hidden | Hidden |
.visible-sm-* |
Hidden | visible | Hidden | Hidden |
.visible-md-* |
Hidden | Hidden | visible | Hidden |
.visible-lg-* |
Hidden | Hidden | Hidden | visible |
.hidden-xs |
Hidden | visible | visible | visible |
.hidden-sm |
visible | Hidden | visible | visible |
.hidden-md |
visible | visible | Hidden | visible |
.hidden-lg |
visible | visible | visible | Hidden |
As of v3.2.0, the .visible-*-*classes for each breakpoint come in three variations, one for each CSS displayproperty value listed below.
| Group of classes | cssdisplay |
|---|---|
.visible-*-block |
display: block; |
.visible-*-inline |
display: inline; |
.visible-*-inline-block |
display: inline-block; |
So, for extra small ( xs) screens for example, the available .visible-*-*classes are: .visible-xs-block, .visible-xs-inline, and .visible-xs-inline-block.
The classes .visible-xs, .visible-sm, .visible-md, and .visible-lgalso exist, but are deprecated as of v3.2.0 . They are approximately equivalent to .visible-*-block, except with additional special cases for toggling <table>-related elements.
print classes
Similar to the regular responsive classes, use these for toggling content for print.
| classes | Browser | |
|---|---|---|
.visible-print-block.visible-print-inline.visible-print-inline-block |
Hidden | visible |
.hidden-print |
visible | Hidden |
The class .visible-printalso exists but is deprecated as of v3.2.0. It is approximately equivalent to .visible-print-block, except with additional special cases for <table>-related elements.
test cases
Resize your browser or load on different devices to test the responsive utility classes.
Visible on...
Green checkmarks indicate the element is visible in your current viewport.
Extra small
✔ Visible on x-small
small
✔ Visible on small
Medium
✔ Visible on medium
large
✔ Visible on large
✔ Visible on x-small and small
✔ Visible on medium and large
✔ Visible on x-small and medium
✔ Visible on small and large
✔ Visible on x-small and large
✔ Visible on small and medium
Hidden on...
Here, green checkmarks also indicate the element is hidden in your current viewport.
Using Less
Bootstrap's CSS is built on Less, a preprocessor with additional functionality like variables, mixins, and functions for compiling CSS. Those looking to use the source Less files instead of our compiled CSS files can make use of the numerous variables and mixins we use throughout the framework.
Grid variables and mixins are covered within the Grid system section .
Compiling Bootstrap
Bootstrap can be used in at least two ways: with the compiled CSS or with the source Less files. To compile the Less files, consult the Getting Started section for how to set up your development environment to run the necessary commands.
Third party compilation tools may work with Bootstrap, but they are not supported by our core team.
Variables
Variables are used throughout the entire project as a way to centralize and share commonly used values like colors, spacing, or font stacks. For a complete breakdown, please see the Customizer .
colors
Easy make use of two color schemes: grayscale and semantic. Grayscale colors provide quick access to commonly used shades of black while semantic include various colors assigned to meaningful contextual values.
@gray-darker: lighten(#000, 13.5%); // #222
@gray-dark: lighten(#000, 20%); // #333
@gray: lighten(#000, 33.5%); // #555
@gray-light: lighten(#000, 46.7%); // #777
@gray-lighter: lighten(#000, 93.5%); // #eee@brand-primary: darken(#428bca, 6.5%); // #337ab7
@brand-success: #5cb85c;
@brand-info: #5bc0de;
@brand-warning: #f0ad4e;
@brand-danger: #d9534f;Use any of these color variables as they are or reassign them to more meaningful variables for your project.
// Use as-is
.masthead {
background-color: @brand-primary;
}
// Reassigned variables in Less
@alert-message-background: @brand-info;
.alert {
background-color: @alert-message-background;
}scaffolding
A handful of variables for quickly customizing key elements of your site's skeleton.
// Scaffolding
@body-bg: #fff;
@text-color: @black-50;Links
Easy style your links with the right color with only one value.
// Variables
@link-color: @brand-primary;
@link-hover-color: darken(@link-color, 15%);
// Usage
a {
color: @link-color;
text-decoration: none;
&:hover {
color: @link-hover-color;
text-decoration: underline;
}
}Note that the @link-hover-coloruses a function, another awesome tool from Less, to automagically create the right hover color. You can use darken, lighten, saturate, and desaturate.
Typography
Easily set your typeface, text size, leading, and more with a few quick variables. Bootstrap makes use of these as well to provide easy typographic mixins.
@font-family-sans-serif: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
@font-family-serif: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
@font-family-monospace: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace;
@font-family-base: @font-family-sans-serif;
@font-size-base: 14px;
@font-size-large: ceil((@font-size-base * 1.25)); // ~18px
@font-size-small: ceil((@font-size-base * 0.85)); // ~12px
@font-size-h1: floor((@font-size-base * 2.6)); // ~36px
@font-size-h2: floor((@font-size-base * 2.15)); // ~30px
@font-size-h3: ceil((@font-size-base * 1.7)); // ~24px
@font-size-h4: ceil((@font-size-base * 1.25)); // ~18px
@font-size-h5: @font-size-base;
@font-size-h6: ceil((@font-size-base * 0.85)); // ~12px
@line-height-base: 1.428571429; // 20/14
@line-height-computed: floor((@font-size-base * @line-height-base)); // ~20px
@headings-font-family: inherit;
@headings-font-weight: 500;
@headings-line-height: 1.1;
@headings-color: inherit;Icons
Two quick variables for customizing the location and filename of your icons.
@icon-font-path: "../fonts/";
@icon-font-name: "glyphicons-halflings-regular";Components
Components throughout Bootstrap make use of some default variables for setting common values. Here are the most commonly used.
@padding-base-vertical: 6px;
@padding-base-horizontal: 12px;
@padding-large-vertical: 10px;
@padding-large-horizontal: 16px;
@padding-small-vertical: 5px;
@padding-small-horizontal: 10px;
@padding-xs-vertical: 1px;
@padding-xs-horizontal: 5px;
@line-height-large: 1.33;
@line-height-small: 1.5;
@border-radius-base: 4px;
@border-radius-large: 6px;
@border-radius-small: 3px;
@component-active-color: #fff;
@component-active-bg: @brand-primary;
@caret-width-base: 4px;
@caret-width-large: 5px;Vendor mixins
Vendor mixins are mixins to help support multiple browsers by including all relevant vendor prefixes in your compiled CSS.
Box-sizing
Reset your components' box model with a single mixin. For context, see this helpful article from Mozilla .
The mixin is deprecated as of v3.2.0, with the introduction of Autoprefixer. To preserve backwards-compatibility, Bootstrap will continue to use the mixin internally until Bootstrap v4.
.box-sizing(@box-model) {
-webkit-box-sizing: @box-model; // Safari <= 5
-moz-box-sizing: @box-model; // Firefox <= 19
box-sizing: @box-model;
}rounded corners
Today all modern browsers support the non-prefixed border-radiusproperty. As such, there is no .border-radius()mixin, but Bootstrap does include shortcuts for quickly rounding two corners on a particular side of an object.
.border-top-radius(@radius) {
border-top-right-radius: @radius;
border-top-left-radius: @radius;
}
.border-right-radius(@radius) {
border-bottom-right-radius: @radius;
border-top-right-radius: @radius;
}
.border-bottom-radius(@radius) {
border-bottom-right-radius: @radius;
border-bottom-left-radius: @radius;
}
.border-left-radius(@radius) {
border-bottom-left-radius: @radius;
border-top-left-radius: @radius;
}Box (Drop) shadows
If your target audience is using the latest and greatest browsers and devices, be sure to just use the box-shadowproperty on its own. If you need support for older Android (pre-v4) and iOS devices (pre-iOS 5), use the deprecated mixin to pick up the required -webkitprefix.
The mixin is deprecated as of v3.1.0, since Bootstrap doesn't officially support the outdated platforms that don't support the standard property. To preserve backwards-compatibility, Bootstrap will continue to use the mixin internally until Bootstrap v4.
Be sure to use rgba()colors in your box shadows so they blend as seamlessly as possible with backgrounds.
.box-shadow(@shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.25)) {
-webkit-box-shadow: @shadow; // iOS <4.3 & Android <4.1
box-shadow: @shadow;
}Transitions
Multiple mixins for flexibility. Set all transition information with one, or specify a separate delay and duration as needed.
The mixins are deprecated as of v3.2.0, with the introduction of Autoprefixer. To preserve backwards-compatibility, Bootstrap will continue to use the mixins internally until Bootstrap v4.
.transition(@transition) {
-webkit-transition: @transition;
transition: @transition;
}
.transition-property(@transition-property) {
-webkit-transition-property: @transition-property;
transition-property: @transition-property;
}
.transition-delay(@transition-delay) {
-webkit-transition-delay: @transition-delay;
transition-delay: @transition-delay;
}
.transition-duration(@transition-duration) {
-webkit-transition-duration: @transition-duration;
transition-duration: @transition-duration;
}
.transition-timing-function(@timing-function) {
-webkit-transition-timing-function: @timing-function;
transition-timing-function: @timing-function;
}
.transition-transform(@transition) {
-webkit-transition: -webkit-transform @transition;
-moz-transition: -moz-transform @transition;
-o-transition: -o-transform @transition;
transition: transform @transition;
}Transformations
Rotate, scale, translate (move), or skew any object.
The mixins are deprecated as of v3.2.0, with the introduction of Autoprefixer. To preserve backwards-compatibility, Bootstrap will continue to use the mixins internally until Bootstrap v4.
.rotate(@degrees) {
-webkit-transform: rotate(@degrees);
-ms-transform: rotate(@degrees); // IE9 only
transform: rotate(@degrees);
}
.scale(@ratio; @ratio-y...) {
-webkit-transform: scale(@ratio, @ratio-y);
-ms-transform: scale(@ratio, @ratio-y); // IE9 only
transform: scale(@ratio, @ratio-y);
}
.translate(@x; @y) {
-webkit-transform: translate(@x, @y);
-ms-transform: translate(@x, @y); // IE9 only
transform: translate(@x, @y);

}Animations
A single mixin for using all of CSS3's animation properties in one declaration and other mixins for individual properties.
The mixins are deprecated as of v3.2.0, with the introduction of Autoprefixer. To preserve backwards-compatibility, Bootstrap will continue to use the mixins internally until Bootstrap v4.
.animation(@animation) {
-webkit-animation: @animation;
animation: @animation;
}
.animation-name(@name) {
-webkit-animation-name: @name;
animation-name: @name;
}
.animation-duration(@duration) {
-webkit-animation-duration: @duration;
animation-duration: @duration;
}
.animation-timing-function(@timing-function) {
-webkit-animation-timing-function: @timing-function;
animation-timing-function: @timing-function;
}
.animation-delay(@delay) {
-webkit-animation-delay: @delay;
animation-delay: @delay;
}
.animation-iteration-count(@iteration-count) {
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: @iteration-count;
animation-iteration-count: @iteration-count;
}
.animation-direction(@direction) {
-webkit-animation-direction: @direction;
animation-direction: @direction;
}Opacity
Set the opacity for all browsers and provide a filterfallback for IE8.
.opacity(@opacity) {
opacity: @opacity;
// IE8 filter
@opacity-ie: (@opacity * 100);
filter: ~"alpha(opacity=@{opacity-ie})";
}placeholder text
Provide context for form controls within each field.
.placeholder(@color: @input-color-placeholder) {
&::-moz-placeholder { color: @color; } // Firefox
&:-ms-input-placeholder { color: @color; } // Internet Explorer 10+
&::-webkit-input-placeholder { color: @color; } // Safari and Chrome
}columns
Generate columns via CSS within a single element.
.content-columns(@width; @count; @gap) {
-webkit-column-width: @width;
-moz-column-width: @width;
column-width: @width;
-webkit-column-count: @count;
-moz-column-count: @count;
column-count: @count;
-webkit-column-gap: @gap;
-moz-column-gap: @gap;
column-gap: @gap;
}Gradients
Easily turn any two colors into a background gradient. Get more advanced and set a direction, use three colors, or use a radial gradient. With a single mixin you get all the prefixed syntaxes you'll need.
#gradient > .vertical(#333; #000);
#gradient > .horizontal(#333; #000);
#gradient > .radial(#333; #000);You can also specify the angle of a standard two-color, linear gradient:
#gradient > .directional(#333; #000; 45deg);If you need a barber-stripe style gradient, that's easy, too. Just specify a single color and we'll overlay a translucent white stripe.
#gradient > .striped(#333; 45deg);Up the ante and use three colors instead. Set the first color, the second color, the second color's color stop (a percentage value like 25%), and the third color with these mixins:
#gradient > .vertical-three-colors(#777; #333; 25%; #000);
#gradient > .horizontal-three-colors(#777; #333; 25%; #000);Head up! Should you ever need to remove a gradient, be sure to remove any IE-specific filteryou may have added. You can do that by using the .reset-filter()mixin alongside background-image: none;.
utility mixins
Utility mixins are mixins that combine otherwise unrelated CSS properties to achieve a specific goal or task.
Clearfix
Forget adding class="clearfix"to any element and instead add the .clearfix()mixin where appropriate. Uses the micro clearfix from Nicolas Gallagher .
// Mixin
.clearfix() {
&:before,
&:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
&:after {
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage
.container {
.clearfix();
}horizontal centering
Quickly center any element within its parent. Requires widthor max-widthto be set.
// Mixin
.center-block() {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
// Usage
.container {
width: 940px;
.center-block();
}Sizing helpers
Specify the dimensions of an object more easily.
// Mixins
.size(@width; @height) {
width: @width;
height: @height;
}
.square(@size) {
.size(@size; @size);
}
// Usage
.image { .size(400px; 300px); }
.avatar { .square(48px); }Resizable text areas
Easily configure the resize options for any textarea, or any other element. Defaults to normal browser behavior ( both).
.resizable(@direction: both) {
// Options: horizontal, vertical, both
resize: @direction;
// Safari fix
overflow: auto;
}Trunking text
Easily truncate text with an ellipsis with a single mixin. Requires element to be blockor inline-blocklevel.
// Mixin
.text-overflow() {
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
}
// Usage
.branch-name {
display: inline-block;
max-width: 200px;
.text-overflow();
}retina images
Specify two image paths and the @1x image dimensions, and Bootstrap will provide an @2x media query. If you have many images to serve, consider writing your retina image CSS manually in a single media query.
.img-retina(@file-1x; @file-2x; @width-1x; @height-1x) {
background-image: url("@{file-1x}");
@media
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
only screen and ( min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
only screen and ( -o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2/1),
only screen and ( min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
only screen and ( min-resolution: 192dpi),
only screen and ( min-resolution: 2dppx) {
background-image: url("@{file-2x}");
background-size: @width-1x @height-1x;
}
}
// Usage
.jumbotron {
.img-retina("/img/bg-1x.png", "/img/bg-2x.png", 100px, 100px);
}Using Sass
While Bootstrap is built on Less, it also has an official Sass port . We maintain it in a separate GitHub repository and handle updates with a conversion script.
What's included
Since the Sass port has a separate repo and serves a slightly different audience, the contents of the project differ greatly from the main Bootstrap project. This ensures the Sass port is as compatible with as many Sass-based systems as possible.
| Path | Description |
|---|---|
lib/ |
Ruby gem code (Sass configuration, Rails and Compass integrations) |
tasks/ |
Converter scripts (turning upstream Less to Sass) |
test/ |
Compilation tests |
templates/ |
Compass package manifest |
vendor/assets/ |
Sass, JavaScript, and font files |
Rakefile |
Internal tasks, such as rake and convert |
Visit the Sass port's GitHub repository to see these files in action.
Installation
For information on how to install and use Bootstrap for Sass, consult the GitHub repository readme . It's the most up to date source and includes information for use with Rails, Compass, and standard Sass projects.
