Bootstrap: Play With Grid System (Part Two)

In this post, I will continue to play with grid sizes based on the last post example.

Change Grid Size From Large To Medium


Firstly, I make a 12 grids, and each grid is for large size device and scales to 1 units (col-lg-1).


The result shows 12 grids in the same size on the desktop size page.

If the window changes from desktop size to tablet size, we will change the grid size from large to medium, too. Therefore, I add additional value "col-md-2" in the class attribute.


As we see, when I change the web page to a tablet size, each grid will scale 2 units to fit in a medium size device.

Change Grid Size From Medium To Small


Then, I create a new grid system which includes four same unit grids to fit both large and medium size device. They are colored in orange.


The result shows four orange grids.


If we want those grids to fit in a small device, we need to add another class attribute value "col-sm-6".



When I change the web page size to a smaller size, I can see the grids change from one rows to two rows. Each grid scale changes from 3 to 6 units. 

Nested Grid

If we want to add grids inside a grid, we will need to add a new row inside the parent grid. As the example below, I add a new row under the first grid, and this new row include two grids. One is "first half", and the other one is "other half". 

One thing we need to pay attention is that when we nested grid, the parent grid will include 12 columns. That's why I assign the "first half" grid six units, and the same as the "other half". 

In another word, if you want to add three grids in the parent grid, you need to scale each nested grid up to four columns.



As the result, the first grid has two pink grids.

Intermediate Express.js: How To Add Styles & Partials in EJS File?

So far, we only have simple HTML tags and ejs tags in each ejs file. Every template page has no style at all. And the basic HTML header and footer are also missing.

Seven Most Common jQuery Methods Last Part: ADD/REMOVE/TOGGLE CLASS()

Add, remove and toggleClass is also a very common way to manipulate style. .addClass() and .removeClass() I add two class selector in the style tag. Class one is to change text color to be green, and class two is change both text and background color.  Now I refresh the page and change h1 text to green by using addClass() method: $("h1").addClass("one") .  If you want to remove the style, you can change it to removeClass("one"). I do the same thing to the list. I change the list color and add a background color by adding the class two style value: $("li").addClass("two") . .toggleClass()  According to jQuery, toggerClass method can add or remove one or more classes from each element in the set of matched elements, depending on either the class's presence or the value of the state argument. I only want to change the first list item color and background by writing: $("li").first().toggleClas...

Intro to Backend: Is Browser The Only Place To Send HTTP Request?

Today,  I begin to learn the second part of web develop course: backend. Frontend is the stuff that we can see and interactive with, such as HTML, CSS, and JS. We can type our code, style our page, or write some function to make interaction. However, backend is everything else. For example, we type Target web address in the Internet Browser. As we hit "enter", there are a few steps to go through: 1. The HTTP request is sent to a particular server's IP address. 2. The server figures out what to send us 3. It sends a HTTP response back to us Those process we are hard to see, and it happens in less than one second. The instructor said that the browser is not the only place to send the HTTP request, and there are so many choices out there. In this learning course, we are going to use Postman App . Postman allows us to make HTTP requests and viewer responses. It is really for developers to understand how things are working or debug something. In the P...
