• 12-column grid
• width of 940 pixels
• row / span*
• span1 = 60px
• span12 = 940px
• Space between columns are 20px
Example:
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">…</div>
<div class="span8">…</div>
</div>
Fluid Grid System uses %for column widths instead of pixels
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4">…</div>
<div class="span8">
…
</div>
</div>
Offsetting Columns <div class="row">
<div class="span4">…</div>
<div class="span4 offset4">
…
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span6">
Level 1 of column
<div class="row">
<div class="span3">Level 2</div>
<div class="span3">Level 2</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Nesting with a fluid grid: Sum of nested rows should be 12 Not the parent column
<div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span6"> Level 1 of column <div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span6">Level 2</div> <div class="span6">Level 2</div> </div> </div> </div>
