Override Bootstrap Container Width
Solution 1:
Here theres a simpler trick that works like a charm: https://css-tricks.com/full-width-containers-limited-width-parents/
Look for: "No calc() needed"
HTML
<header>
<div class="container">
<div class="content"></div>
<div class="well full-width"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
<footer>
CSS
.full-width {
width: 100vw;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
right: 50%;
margin-left: -50vw;
margin-right: -50vw;
}
Solution 2:
The div container
has the following max-width
specified in media query as default by bootstrap.
@media (min-width: 768px){
.container{
max-width:750px;
}
}
@media (min-width: 992px){
.container{
max-width:970px;
}
}
To override this add the below style in your stylesheet
// This should be added in default styles, not within media query .container{ margin:0; padding:0; }
@media (min-width: 768px){
.container{
max-width:100%;
}
}
@media (min-width: 992px){
.container{
max-width:100%;
}
}
Solution 3:
ORIGINAL + BEST PRACTICE: always move the .well
outside of .container
to stay idiomatic with Bootstrap.
UPDATE + IF ABOVE IS NOT AN OPTION: Given that you cannot easily modify .container
styles and/or move the .well
outside of .container
, your best bet is JavaScript. Here I have made a script that makes .well
expand as the width of the window changes.
Here is a jsFiddle
The idea is that you want a negative value for margin-left
and margin-right
so that .well
expands across the screen.
