Twitter-bootstrap – Missing visible- and hidden- in Bootstrap v4

bootstrap-4twitter-bootstrap

In Bootstrap v3 I often use the hidden-** classes combined with clearfix to control multi column layouts at different screen widths. For example,

I could combine multiple hidden-** in one DIV to make my multi columns appear correctly at different screen widths.

As an example if I wanted to display rows of product photos, 4 per row on larger screen sizes, 3 on smaller screens, then 2 on very small screens. The product photos might be different heights so I need the clearfix to ensure the row breaks properly.

Here's an example in v3…

Now that v4 has done away with these classes, and replaced them with the visible/hidden-**-up/down classes I seem to have to do the same thing with multiple DIVs instead.

Here's a similar example in v4…

http://jsbin.com/sagowihowa/edit?html,css,output

So I've gone from single DIVs to having to add multiple DIVs with lots of up/down classes to achieve the same thing.

From…

<div class="clearfix visible-xs-block visible-sm-block"></div>

to…

<div class="clearfix hidden-sm-up"></div>
<div class="clearfix hidden-md-up hidden-xs-down"></div>
<div class="clearfix hidden-md-down"></div>

Is there a better way of doing this in v4 that I have overlooked?

Update for Bootstrap 5 (2020)

Bootstrap 5 (currently alpha) has a new xxl breakpoint. Therefore display classes have a new tier to support this:

Hidden only on xxl: d-xxl-none
Visible only on xxl: d-none d-xxl-block

Bootstrap 4 (2018)

The hidden-* and visible-* classes no longer exist in Bootstrap 4. If you want to hide an element on specific tiers or breakpoints in Bootstrap 4, use the d-* display classes accordingly.

Remember that extra-small/mobile (formerly xs) is the default (implied) breakpoint, unless overridden by a larger breakpoint. Therefore, the -xs infix no longer exists in Bootstrap 4.

Show/hide for breakpoint and down:

hidden-xs-down (hidden-xs) = d-none d-sm-block
hidden-sm-down (hidden-sm hidden-xs) = d-none d-md-block
hidden-md-down (hidden-md hidden-sm hidden-xs) = d-none d-lg-block
hidden-lg-down = d-none d-xl-block
hidden-xl-down (n/a 3.x) = d-none (same as hidden)

Show/hide for breakpoint and up:

hidden-xs-up = d-none (same as hidden)
hidden-sm-up = d-sm-none
hidden-md-up = d-md-none
hidden-lg-up = d-lg-none
hidden-xl-up (n/a 3.x) = d-xl-none

Show/hide only for a single breakpoint:

hidden-xs (only) = d-none d-sm-block (same as hidden-xs-down)
hidden-sm (only) = d-block d-sm-none d-md-block
hidden-md (only) = d-block d-md-none d-lg-block
hidden-lg (only) = d-block d-lg-none d-xl-block
hidden-xl (n/a 3.x) = d-block d-xl-none
visible-xs (only) = d-block d-sm-none
visible-sm (only) = d-none d-sm-block d-md-none
visible-md (only) = d-none d-md-block d-lg-none
visible-lg (only) = d-none d-lg-block d-xl-none
visible-xl (n/a 3.x) = d-none d-xl-block

Also, note that d-*-block can be replaced with d-*-inline, d-*-flex, d-*-table-cell, d-*-table etc.. depending on the display type of the element. Read more on the display classes

Css – How to make Twitter Bootstrap menu dropdown on hover rather than click

To get the menu to automatically drop on hover then this can achieved using basic CSS. You need to work out the selector to the hidden menu option and then set it to display as block when the appropriate li tag is hovered over. Taking the example from the twitter bootstrap page, the selector would be as follows:

ul.nav li.dropdown:hover > ul.dropdown-menu {
    display: block;    
}

However, if you are using Bootstrap's responsive features, you will not want this functionality on a collapsed navbar (on smaller screens). To avoid this, wrap the code above in a media query:

@media (min-width: 979px) {
  ul.nav li.dropdown:hover > ul.dropdown-menu {
    display: block;
  }
}

To hide the arrow (caret) this is done in different ways depending on whether you are using Twitter Bootstrap version 2 and lower or version 3:

Bootstrap 3

To remove the caret in version 3 you just need to remove the HTML <b class="caret"></b> from the .dropdown-toggle anchor element:

<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">
    Dropdown
    <b class="caret"></b>    <-- remove this line
</a>

Bootstrap 2 & lower

To remove the caret in version 2 you need a little more insight into CSS and I suggest looking at how the :after pseudo element works in more detail. To get you started on your way to understanding, to target and remove the arrows in the twitter bootstrap example, you would use the following CSS selector and code:

a.menu:after, .dropdown-toggle:after {
    content: none;
}

It will work in your favour if you look further into how these work and not just use the answers that I have given you.

Thanks to @CocaAkat for pointing out that we were missing the ">" child combinator to prevent sub menus being shown on the parent hover

Javascript – How to open a Bootstrap modal window using jQuery

Bootstrap has a few functions that can be called manually on modals:

$('#myModal').modal('toggle');
$('#myModal').modal('show');
$('#myModal').modal('hide');

You can see more here: Bootstrap modal component

Specifically the methods section.

So you would need to change:

$('#my-modal').modal({
    show: 'false'
});

to:

$('#myModal').modal('show');
