I have the following HTML:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="STYLE.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap-3.3.5-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<header class="row"></header>
<section class="row section1"></section>
<section class="row section2"></section>
<section class="row section1"></section>
<section class="row section2"></section>
<section class="row section1"></section>
<footer class="row"></footer>
</body>
</html>
For some reason the entire web page is wider than the browser window. When I remove the row
class everything goes back to normal. The local CSS file has nothing to do with the issue. My guess is that the bootstrap CSS modifies the row in a way that makes it wider for some reason. So I wanted to ask if anyone has any idea that would fix this.
You may either use .container class or .container-fluid. .container maintains some margin space from actual screen and don't stretch the page view. On the other hand .container-fluid stretches the page as it can. See your html script modified below:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="STYLE.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap-3.3.5-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<header class="row"></header>
<section class="row section1"></section>
<section class="row section2"></section>
<section class="row section1"></section>
<section class="row section2"></section>
<section class="row section1"></section>
<footer class="row"></footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Also, you must use .col-md-6 like class to specify width of your section within a row where md is replaceable by lg and sm as well.
md
stands for Medium sized devices like laptop,desktop etc.
lg
stands for Large sized Devices like projector or some bigger screens etc.
sm
stands for Small sized devices like mobiles etc.
You are free to use a combination of these three. For example,
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-1 col-lg-12">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hope it helps you get started and resolve your problem.
