Fixing Overlapping Divs in Bootstrap That Extend Past Page Width

Creating layouts with overlapping divs in Bootstrap can be a great way to achieve a unique and engaging design. However, sometimes you may encounter unexpected issues, like divs extending beyond the page width, which can lead to undesirable horizontal scroll bars and misalignment. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at why this is happening and how to fix it!

The Problem: Why Are My Divs Not Lining Up Neatly?

Let’s break down the issues that arise from improperly aligned divs using Bootstrap:

Horizontal Scroll Bar: The first problem is the overlapping divs extending past the page width, which causes a horizontal scroll bar. This can occur if your divs aren't properly restricted in width.

Background Image Misalignment: The second issue can be more visually annoying, where the leftmost div extends below the background image of the parent div. This typically indicates a problem with the positioning or sizing of the divs.

Example HTML Structure

Here's a simplified look at the HTML structure in question:

The Solution: Making Adjustments to Your CSS

To resolve these issues, you will need to make some adjustments to your CSS. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Update the Row Class

Adding styles to the row that contains your columns can help manage its width effectively. Here is the CSS to add:

What This Does:

Height: Setting it to 100% ensures it fully occupies the height of its parent.

Width: Ensures that the row does not exceed the width of the parent div, preventing overflow.

Padding and Margin: Resetting these values prevents extra space that could push your elements out of alignment.

Step 2: Update the Overlapping Div Class

Next, modify the div that is overlapping. Here’s how:

Purpose:

This modification limits the maximum width of your overlapping div to 100% of its parent, helping to make sure it doesn't push beyond the available space.

Final Thoughts

By applying these CSS adjustments, your overlapping divs should align correctly within your Bootstrap layout without causing horizontal scrolling. Remember that while Bootstrap provides a solid foundation, sometimes custom tweaks are necessary to achieve your desired look. Always test your layout at different screen sizes to ensure responsiveness!

Now you're all set to create overlapping designs without the hassle of extra scroll bars or misplaced elements. Happy coding!
