Bootstrap alignment of button and pagination

Question

I am using Twitter Bootstrap 3 to build my new website. I want to place a button on the left side and a pagination on the right side.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-default pull-left">Default</button>

<ul class="pagination pull-right">
    <li><a href="#">&laquo;</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">5</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">&raquo;</a></li>
 </ul>

My problem is that I am unable to align the both elements properly:

The pagination has a small offset.

What can i do to remove that offset?

Answer 1

Wrap a semantic descriptive class around your button and pagination, such as .navigation-bar and use this to target the margin on the .pagination:

.navigation-bar .pagination {
      margin-top: 0;
    }

You should never override a framework class directly, as it would apply across your entire code base. The alternative is to simply extend the .pagination class:

<ul class="pagination no-margin pull-right"> 

Answer 2

Try adding ths:-

.pagination {
margin: 0px !important;
}

Answer 3

I would go for:

<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar" style="margin: 0;">
      <div class="btn-group">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">1</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">2</button>
      </div>

      <div class="btn-group pull-right">
                <ul class="pagination" style="margin: 0;">
                <li><a href="#">«</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">3</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">4</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">5</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">»</a></li>
            </ul>
      </div>
    </div>

if you replace the <ul><li.... with buttons , you not need to use style="margin: 0;

Answer 4

Put the below styling in the ul element:

<ul style="margin-top:0;" class="pagination pull-right">
