Create a BootStrap Headline
Now let's build something from scratch to practice our HTML, CSS and Bootstrap skills. FreeCodeCamp Provides us with the following instructions.
To start with, create an h3 element, with the text jQuery Playground.
Then Color your
h3
element with thetext-primary
Bootstrap class, and center it with thetext-center
Bootstrap class.
<h3 class="text-primary text-center">JQuery Playground</h3>
House our page within a Bootstrap container-fluid div
Continuing from the last lesson, now they want us to just make sure all the content on your page is mobile-responsive.
By nesting the
h3
element within adiv
element with the classcontainer-fluid
.
<div class="container=fluid
<h3 class="text-primary text-center">JQuery Playground</h3>
</div>
Creating a Bootstrap Row, Splitting the row, bootstrap wells, adding elements within Bootstrap Wells, applying the default bootstrap button style..
- FreeCodeCamp just wanted us to add in extra things to our code as you see below nothing new except for the wells which can create a visual sense of depth for your columns.
<div class="container-fluid">
<h3 class="text-primary text-center">jQuery Playground</h3>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="well">
<button class="btn btn-default"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default"></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="well">
<button class="btn btn-default"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default"></button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Create a Class to Target with jQuery Selectors
- Sometimes we create classes for the purpose of selecting these elements more easily using jQuery. By giving each of our button elements the class
target
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="well">
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
Add id Attributes to Bootstrap Elements
- We can give each of our elements an
id
attribute. - Each id should be unique to a specific element and used only once per page.
- Let's give the well on the left the id of
left-well
and the one of the right the id ofright-well
.
<div class="well" id="left-well">
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target"></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="well" id="right-well">
Give Each Element a Unique id
*Let's give each of our buttons a unique id starting with a target1
and ending with target6
.
<button class="btn btn-default target" id="target1"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target" id="target2"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target" id="target3"></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<h4>#right-well</h4>
<div class="well" id="right-well">
<button class="btn btn-default target" id="target4"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target" id="target5"></button>
<button class="btn btn-default target" id="target6"></button>
