If you look at Twitter&#39;s own [container-app.html][1] demo on GitHub, you&#39;ll get some ideas on using borders with their grid.

For example, here&#39;s the extracted part of the building blocks to their 940-pixel wide 16-column grid system:

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .row {
        zoom: 1;
        margin-left: -20px;
    }
    
    .row &gt; [class*=&quot;span&quot;] {
        display: inline;
        float: left;
        margin-left: 20px;
    }

    .span4 {
        width: 220px;
    }

To allow for borders on specific elements, they added embedded CSS to the page that reduces matching classes by enough amount to account for the border(s).

![Screenshot of Example Page][2]

For example, to allow for the left border on the sidebar, they added this CSS in the `&lt;head&gt;` after the the main `&lt;link href=&quot;../bootstrap.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;&gt;`.

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .content .span4 {
        margin-left: 0;
        padding-left: 19px;
        border-left: 1px solid #eee;
    }

You&#39;ll see they&#39;ve reduced `padding-left` by `1px` to allow for the addition of the new left border. Since this rule appears later in the source order, it overrides any previous or external declarations.

I&#39;d argue this isn&#39;t exactly the most robust *or* elegant approach, but it illustrates the most basic example.

Another solution I ran across tonight, which worked for my needs, was to add `box-sizing` attributes:

    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;

These attributes force the border to be part of the box model&#39;s width and height and correct the issue as well.

According to [caniuse.com &#187; box-sizing](http://caniuse.com/#feat=css3-boxsizing), `box-sizing` is supported in IE8+.

If you&#39;re using LESS or Sass there is a Bootstrap mixin for this.

LESS:

    .box-sizing(border-box);

Sass:

    @include box-sizing(border-box);

I use `curl` to get some URL response, it&#39;s JSON response and it contains unicode-escaped national characters like **`\u0144 (ń)`** and **`\u00f3 (&#243;)`**. 

How can I convert them to **UTF-8** or any other encoding to save into file?

I just started using Twitter Bootstrap, and I have a question about how to best add a border to a parent element?

for instance, if I have 

     &lt;div class=&quot;main-area span12&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt;
           &lt;div class=&quot;span9&quot;&gt;
                //Maybe some description text
           &lt;/div&gt;
           &lt;div class=&quot;span3&quot;&gt;
                //Maybe a button or something
           &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
     &lt;/div&gt;

If I apply a border like so:

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .main-area {
        border: 1px solid #ccc;
    }

The grid system will break and kick `span3` down to the next row because of the added width of the border......Is there a good way to be able to add things like borders or padding to the parent `&lt;div&gt;`s like this?

When doing something like this: 

    &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Left Div&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div style=&quot;float: right;&quot;&gt;Right Div&lt;/div&gt;

I have to use an empty div with 

    clear: both;

which feels very dirty to me.

So, is there a way to align without the use of float?

Here is my code:

How do you align a div vertically without using float?

I have trying to work this out for months, and Google hasn&#39;t helped me. I&#39;m trying to have spacing between `&lt;td&gt;` and `&lt;th&gt;` tags in a table, but when I do, it does spacing in the outside. Therefore, the table isn&#39;t inline with anything else. So it looks like the table has some padding.

I can&#39;t seem to find a solution.

[Here][1] is an example of the issue

I have this `a` and I don&#39;t know that I need to insert into the &quot;onmouseover&quot; so that the cursor will change to finger pointer like a regular link:

    &lt;a class=&quot;menu_links&quot; onclick=&quot;displayData(11,1,0,&#39;A&#39;)&quot; onmouseover=&quot;&quot;&gt; A &lt;/a&gt;

I read somewhere that I need to put:

    onmouseover=&quot;cursor: hand (a pointing hand)&quot;
But it&#39;s not working for me. 

Plus I&#39;m not sure if this is considered JavaScript, CSS, or just plain HTML.

I have a set of styled links using the `:before` to apply an arrow.

It looks good in all browser, but when I apply the underline to the link, I don&#39;t want to have underline on the `:before` part (the arrow).

See jsfiddle for example: http://jsfiddle.net/r42e5/1/

Is it possible to remove this? The test-style I sat with `#test p a:hover:before` does get applied (according to Firebug), but the underline is still there.

Any way to avoid this?

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    #test {
      color: #B2B2B2;
    }

    #test p a {
      color: #B2B2B2;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

    #test p a:hover {
      text-decoration: underline;
    }

    #test p a:before {
      color: #B2B2B2;
      content: &quot;► &quot;;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

    #test p a:hover:before {
      text-decoration: none;
    }

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div id=&quot;test&quot;&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;Another link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2140763/css-push-div-to-bottom-of-page

Please look at that link, I want the opposite: When the content overflows to the scrollbars, I want my footer to be always at the **complete** bottom of the page, like Stack Overflow.

I have a div with `id=&quot;footer&quot;` and this CSS:

    #footer {
        position: absolute;
        bottom: 30px;
        width: 100%;
    }

But all it does is go to the bottom of the viewport, and stays there even if you scroll down, so it is no longer at the bottom.

Sorry if not clarified, I don&#39;t want it to be fixed, only for it to be at the actual bottom of all the content.

I&#39;m using twitter bootstrap for some web app I&#39;m forced to do (I&#39;m not a web developer) and I can&#39;t find a way to disable the row lines for tables.

As you can see from the [Bootstrap documentation][1], the default table style contains line rows.

I am using twitter&#39;s bootstrap&#39;s popover [here][1].  Right now, when i scroll over the popover text a popover appears with just text from the `&lt;a&gt;`&#39;s `data-content` attribute.  I was wondering if there was anyway to put a `&lt;div&gt;` inside the popover.  Potentially, I would like to use php and mysql in there, but if i could get a div to work i think i can figure out the rest. I tried setting data-content to a `div` ID, but it didnt work.

       data-content=&#39;#PopupDiv&#39;

In **bootstrap.css**

you can find either from Github &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/1.4.0/bootstrap.min.css&quot;&gt; or from http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#

Why does it use:

    .container:before, .container:after {
      display: table;
      content: &quot;&quot;;
      zoom: 1;
      }

      .row:before, .row:after {
       display: table;
       content: &quot;&quot;;
       zoom: 1;
       }
 
Why define display:table in .container:before/after and .row:before/after?

I&#39;m currently using popovers with Twitter Bootstrap, initiated like this:

    $(&#39;.popup-marker&#39;).popover({
    		html: true,
    		trigger: &#39;manual&#39;
    	}).click(function(e) {
    		$(this).popover(&#39;toggle&#39;);
    		e.preventDefault();
    	});

As you can see, they&#39;re triggered manually, and clicking on .popup-marker (which is a div with a background image) toggles a popover. This works great, but I&#39;d like to also be able to close the popover with a click anywhere else on the page (but not on the popover itself!).

I&#39;ve tried a few different things, including the following, but with no results to show for it:

    $(&#39;body&#39;).click(function(e) {
		$(&#39;.popup-marker&#39;).popover(&#39;hide&#39;);
	});

**How can I close the popover with a click anywhere else on the page, but not with a click onthe popover itself?**
