Bootstrap row with columns of different height












54















I currently have something like:



<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
</div>


Now assuming that, content was boxes of different height, with all the same width - how could I keep the same "grid based layout" and yet have all the boxes line up under each other, instead of in perfect lines.



Currently TWBS will place the next line of col-md-4 under the longest element in the previous third row., thus each row of items is perfectly aligned an clean - while this is awesome I want each item to fall directly under the last element ("Masonry" layout)

          This is a popular Bootstrap question, so I've updated and expanded the answer for Bootstrap 3 and Bootstrap 4...



          The Bootstrap 3 "height problem" occurs because the columns use float:left. When a column is “floated” it’s taken out of the normal flow of the document. It is shifted to the left or right until it touches the edge of its containing box. So, when you have uneven column heights, the correct behavior is to stack them to the closest side.



          Bootstrap uneven wrapping columns



          Note: The options below are applicable for column wrapping scenarios where there are more than 12 col units in a single .row. For readers that don't understand why there would ever be more than 12 cols in a row, or think the solution is to "use separate rows" should read this first





          There are a few ways to fix this.. (updated for 2018)



          1 - The 'clearfix' approach (recommended by Bootstrap) like this (requires iteration every X columns). This will force a wrap every X number of columns...



          enter image description here



          <div class="row">
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="clearfix"></div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="clearfix"></div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          </div>


          Clearfix Demo (single tier)



          Clearfix Demo (responsive tiers) - eg. col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-3



          There is also a CSS-only variation of the 'clearfix'
          CSS-only clearfix with tables






          2 - Make the columns the same height (using flexbox):

          Since the issue is caused by the difference in height, you can make columns equal height across each row. Flexbox is the best way to do this, and is natively supported in Bootstrap 4...



          enter image description here



          .row.display-flex {
          display: flex;
          flex-wrap: wrap;
          }
          .row.display-flex > [class*='col-'] {
          display: flex;
          flex-direction: column;
          }


          Flexbox equal height Demo






          3 - Un-float the columns an use inline-block instead..

          Again, the height problem only occurs because the columns are floated. Another option is to set the columns to display:inline-block and float:none. This also provides more flexibility for vertical-alignment. However, with this solution there must be no HTML whitespace between columns, otherwise the inline-block elements have additional space and will wrap prematurely.

          4 - CSS3 columns approach (Masonry/Pinterest like solution)..



          This is not native to Bootstrap 3, but another approach using CSS multi-columns. One downside to this approach is the column order is top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right. Bootstrap 4 includes this type of
          solution
          :

          For some reason this worked for me without the .display-flex class



          .row {
          display: flex;
          flex-wrap: wrap;
          }
          .row > [class*='col-'] {
          display: flex;
          flex-direction: column;
          }

          The col's sum inside the twitter bootsrap should be everytime 12. This will keep a clean grid design:



           <div class="row">
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          </div>
          <div class="row">
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
          <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>

            This is not what I want, what I am asking for is how to make the boxes appaear DIRECTLY under the last box instead of the perfectly clean grid, some boxes may be bigger, while some are smaller and if its "clean" then you have massive white spaces in some areas.

          I created another extension (which also is reactive) to the bootstrap row. You can try something like this:



          .row.flexRow { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;}

            1 - The 'clearfix' approach (recommended by Bootstrap) like this (requires iteration every X columns). This will force a wrap every X number of columns...



            enter image description here



            <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="clearfix"></div>

            There is also a CSS-only variation of the 'clearfix'
            CSS-only clearfix with tables






            2 - Make the columns the same height (using flexbox):

            Since the issue is caused by the difference in height, you can make columns equal height across each row. Flexbox is the best way to do this, and is natively supported in Bootstrap 4...



            enter image description here



            .row.display-flex {
            display: flex;
            flex-wrap: wrap;
            }
            .row.display-flex > [class*='col-'] {
            display: flex;
            flex-direction: column;
            }

            3 - Un-float the columns an use inline-block instead..

            Again, the height problem only occurs because the columns are floated. Another option is to set the columns to display:inline-block and float:none. This also provides more flexibility for vertical-alignment. However, with this solution there must be no HTML whitespace between columns, otherwise the inline-block elements have additional space and will wrap prematurely.

            4 - CSS3 columns approach (Masonry/Pinterest like solution)..



            This is not native to Bootstrap 3, but another approach using CSS multi-columns. One downside to this approach is the column order is top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right. Bootstrap 4 includes this type of
            solution

            This is a popular Bootstrap question, so I've updated and expanded the answer for Bootstrap 3 and Bootstrap 4...



            The Bootstrap 3 "height problem" occurs because the columns use float:left. When a column is “floated” it’s taken out of the normal flow of the document. It is shifted to the left or right until it touches the edge of its containing box. So, when you have uneven column heights, the correct behavior is to stack them to the closest side.

            Note: The options below are applicable for column wrapping scenarios where there are more than 12 col units in a single .row. For readers that don't understand why there would ever be more than 12 cols in a row, or think the solution is to "use separate rows" should read this first

            The col's sum inside the twitter bootsrap should be everytime 12. This will keep a clean grid design:



             <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            </div>
            <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            </div>
            <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>
            <div class="col-md-4">Content</div>

              This is not what I want, what I am asking for is how to make the boxes appaear DIRECTLY under the last box instead of the perfectly clean grid, some boxes may be bigger, while some are smaller and if its "clean" then you have massive white spaces in some areas.

            I created another extension (which also is reactive) to the bootstrap row. You can try something like this:



            .row.flexRow { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;}
