Missing Bootstrap 3 Options Menu trip away

I created a table with 4 columns using the Bootstrap 3 grid system. Instead of utilizing the col-xs-* classes, which work well on mobile devices, I opted for the col-md-* classes. This decision was based on my preference to have larger and more visible icons on mobile screens, rather than having them shrink down too small. By switching to col-md-*, the icons automatically stack in the grid on mobile devices while maintaining their size – exactly what I wanted.

Everything seemed fine until I noticed that this adjustment somehow caused issues with the document width. As a result, the Options Menu (the three-bar pop-down menu for mobiles/tablets) disappeared because it is aligned to the document width instead of the viewport width.

Can anyone suggest a CSS solution to address this common problem?

Answer №1

After some investigation, I identified the root cause of my issue. It wasn't related to the responsive columns as initially suspected. The problem stemmed from using absolute positioning within a relative container inside the responsive columns to align a P tag to the bottom of a box. Despite this alignment, the text was not centered, leading me to make the following adjustment:

.box P
{
position:absolute;
bottom:5px;
left:-50%;
right:-50%;
}

Unfortunately, this change caused the options menu to extend off the screen. To resolve this, I swapped the left and right values like so:

.box P
{
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
left:0;
right:0;
}

This modification successfully centered the text of the P tag within the responsive columns while still utilizing absolute positioning in a grid box with a set position of relative. As a result, the document width returned to normal, allowing the Options Menu to reappear.
