Bootstrap Grid Example: Medium Devices
Extra small | Small | Medium | Large | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Class prefix | .col-xs | .col-sm | .col-md | .col-lg |
Screen width | <576px | >=768px | >=992px | >=1200px |
In the previous chapter, we presented a grid example with classes for small
devices. We used two divs (columns) and we gave them
a
25%/75% split:
<div class="col-sm-3">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">....</div>
But on medium devices the design may be better as a 50%/50% split.
Tip: Medium devices are defined as having a screen width
from 992 pixels to 1199 pixels.
For medium devices we will use the .col-md-*
classes.
Now we will add the column widths for medium devices:
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6">....</div>
Now Bootstrap is going to say "at the small size, look at classes with
-sm- in them and use those. At the medium size, look at classes with
-md- in them and use those".
The following example will result in a 25%/75% split on small devices and a
50%/50% split on medium (and large) devices. On extra small devices, it will
automatically stack (100%):
Example
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6" style="background-color:yellow;">
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6" style="background-color:pink;">
<p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Note: Make sure that the sum always adds up to 12.
Using Only Medium
In the example below, we only specify the .col-md-6
class (without .col-sm-*
). This means that medium
and large devices will split 50%/50% - because the class scales up. However,
for small devices, it will stack vertically (100% width):
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6" style="background-color:yellow;">
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6" style="background-color:pink;">
<p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
</div>
</div>

The next chapter shows how to add a different split percent for large devices.
