H1 Heading Default, Big, Red, Brown and Teal

Above is the H1 tag. With all heading tags you can specify if you want part or all of the text to be bigger (increases font size by 16%) and what color. The available classes are: “big”, “red”, “brown” and “blue”.

The colors for each portal are set using a specific ID on the body tag of the page. The use of these classes are meant for other elements as well as the Madaba pages including home, contact, get involved, site map and privacy.

H2 Heading With Big + Brown Classes

Above is an example of the H2 tag with “big” and “brown” classes. This style is used on the heading for the home page.

Below are two different dividers. One is a simple divider and the other is a “Top” divider, which when you click on the text link “Go To Top”, it will take you back to the top of the page. The “Top” divider has an extra 10px buffer on both top and bottom. The regular divider uses <div class=”divider”>. To make a “Top” divider, just add “top” to the class. (.ie <div class=”divider top”>)

Layout Boxes

Layout is done by rows and columns. All layout is based on 12 column grid of Bootstrap Version 3. For more information about layout visit Bootstrap’s Guide on Grids.

Rows

Columns must be set in a row. There are 12 columns possible in each row. Make sure you count to 12 columns.
<div class="row">

Columns and Device Widths

Bootstrap uses multiple classes for columns based on device width.

  • X-Small: col-xs-*
  • Small: col-sm-*
  • Medium: col-md-*
  • Large: col-lg-*

These styles cascade so most times you’ll use col-md-* and it will work for all other device sizes.

One half column

This box splits the page in half. 6 is half of 12 in a 12 column grid. So the code would be:

<div class="col-md-6">

<div class="col-md-9">

Button Links

Button links are supported by adding the “btn” class on A LINKS and using the html <button> tag. There are three states; normal, hover and active (when you click). Using button links is an alternative way to give some links more weight than others by adding the button look. These buttons will automatically pick up the color of the portal you are in.

Click Here A Really Long Button Title

<a href="..." class="btn">click here</a>

 

<button>click here</button>

Alert Styles

There are four alert styles including info, warning, help and error. These are added to the page by attaching the “alert info”, “alert warning”, “alert help” and “alert error” classes to a DIV. These alerts will be 100% width of any column.

This box uses the “alert info” class.
This box uses the “alert warning” class.
This box uses the “alert help” class.
This box uses the “alert error” class.
This box uses the “alert info” class.
This box uses the “alert help” class.
This box uses the “alert error” class.
This box uses the “alert info” class.
This box uses the “alert warning” class.
This box uses the “alert help” class.
This box uses the “alert error” class.

List Styles

To create a dot, checkmark or arrow list like the ones seen below add a class of “dotlist”, “checklist” or “arrowlist” to the <ul> tag. The lists below are contained within the “onefourth” layout boxes, but can be arranged however you want. The icons will automatically pick up the color of the portal you are in.

Dot List
  • Dot List Item #1
  • Dot List Item #2
  • Dot List Item #3
Check List
  • Check List Item #1
  • Check List Item #2
  • Check List Item #3
Arrow List
  • Arrow List Item #1
  • Arrow List Item #2
  • Arrow List Item #3

Form Elements

The form elements are both styled and sized with CSS. There is a slight drop shadow and border color change on focus. Click each textarea to view the styling changes.

Form Example

This form is inside a Bootstrap Column. This form does not have a containing DIV.

Image Alignment

These images use both “alignleft” and “alignright” classes. Be sure to only use these classes with images.

These don’t work as well on medium size devices due to text wrapping. Paragraphs may be squished too much and be only one word before going to the next line. Made it so these align images would not float on smaller sizes. Using Bootstrap Columns would be a better choice. You can then have column sizes change on different screen widths. NOTE: When using aligns make sure that img tags are not trapped with headings or other paragraphs with text. Otherwise the won’t float properly on smaller sized devices.

Other Notes / Recap

By default you don’t have to use Bootstrap Columns. Only if you need columns, will you need to create a row and columns.

Tables

Tables are not preferred unless no other option is available. Tables are not responsive and usually require lots of coding to make work in all device sizes. In case a table is needed font-sizes shrink down on smaller width devices and scrolling to see the whole table (if the table is larger than the device) is enabled.
