How to make Bootstrap Panel body with fixed height

Question

I am using bootstrap's panel to display text and image, but as the text grows, the body of the panel also increases. I want to know how to create the body with fixed height, e.g. 10 rows or at most 10 rows. Here is my code:

<div class="span4">   <div class="panel panel-primary">     <div class="panel-heading">jhdsahfjhdfhs</div>     <div class="panel-body">fdoinfds sdofjohisdfj</div>   </div> </div> 

Answer 1

You can use max-height in an inline style attribute, as below:

<div class="panel panel-primary">   <div class="panel-heading">jhdsahfjhdfhs</div>   <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 10;">fdoinfds sdofjohisdfj</div> </div> 

To use scrolling with content that overflows a given max-height, you can alternatively try the following:

<div class="panel panel-primary">   <div class="panel-heading">jhdsahfjhdfhs</div>   <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 10;overflow-y: scroll;">fdoinfds sdofjohisdfj</div> </div> 

To restrict the height to a fixed value you can use something like this.

<div class="panel panel-primary">   <div class="panel-heading">jhdsahfjhdfhs</div>   <div class="panel-body" style="min-height: 10; max-height: 10;">fdoinfds sdofjohisdfj</div> </div> 

Specify the same value for both max-height and min-height (either in pixels or in points – as long as it’s consistent).

You can also put the same styles in css class in a stylesheet (or a style tag as shown below) and then include the same in your tag. See below:

Style Code:

.fixed-panel {   min-height: 10;   max-height: 10;   overflow-y: scroll; } 

Apply Style :

<div class="panel panel-primary">   <div class="panel-heading">jhdsahfjhdfhs</div>   <div class="panel-body fixed-panel">fdoinfds sdofjohisdfj</div> </div> 

Hope this helps with your need.

HTML :
