I am learning Bootstrap. I am using Bootstrap for a design with fixed width. From the online documentation, I know it is easy to position elements starting from a column. For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Bootstrap version</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="author" content="">
<!-- Le styles -->
<link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding-top: 60px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
}
</style>
<link href="css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="learn.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Le HTML5 shim, for IE6-8 support of HTML5 elements -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="span3" style="background-color:grey">span3</div>
<div class="span5" style="background-color:pink"><div id="text">span5 text</div></div>
<div class="span4" style="background-color:navy">span4</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Le javascript
================================================== -->
<!-- Placed at the end of the document so the pages load faster -->
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"><\/script>')</script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
In the above,
<div id="text">span5 text</div>
horizontally starts exactly where the fourth column starts. I would like to know how Bootstrap expert users use CSS to position
<div id="text">span5 text</div>
to make it start between the third and fourth columns or ends between the eighth and ninth columns.
I am thinking about using either:
<style>
#text {
margin-left:-10px;
}
</style>
or
<style>
#text {
position:relative;
left:-10px;
}
</style>
to position the div, but not sure whether which is preferred and would like to know what experts do and some other ways.
Thanks!

By default, there is always a margin-left (or gutter) between the Bootstrap spans (see here: http://bootply.com/64463). If you want to override this, it is possible with CSS, but then you'll lose the responsive benefits of Bootstrap, because the element will be removed from the normal page flow.
A better option may be a custom Bootstrap build with no gutter: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/customize.html#variables
Or, you can create a custom CSS class that you apply to rows as needed like this Gutter-less example: http://bootply.com/61712

I use this solution, that working for me:
<div class="jumbotron" style="height:100%;">
<div>
<table style="height:100%;width:100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
head 1
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
head 2
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
body 1
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
body 2
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
foot 1
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
foot 2
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
</div>
