CSS
Global CSS settings, fundamental HTML elements styled and enhanced with extensible classes, and an advanced grid system.
Grid
Create powerful multi-device layouts quickly and easily with the default 12-column, nest-able Foundation grid. If you're familiar with grid systems, you'll feel right at home. If not, you'll learn quickly.
Basic
Start by adding an element with a class of row. This will create a horizontal block to contain vertical columns. Then add divs with a column class within that row. You can use column or columns - the only difference is grammar. Specify the widths of each column with the small-#, medium-#, and large-# classes. Add compatibility classes for each version of the frameworks you want to target. Done.
Bootstrap Foundation Five is mobile-first. Code for small screens first, and larger devices will inherit those styles. Customize for larger screens as necessary.

Small Grid
Small grids expand to large screens easier than large grids cram into small screens.

Incomplete Rows
In order to work around browsers' different rounding behaviors, Foundation will float the last column in a row to the right so the edge aligns. If your row doesn't have a count that adds up to 12 columns, you can tag the last column with a class of end in order to override that behavior.

Centered Columns
Center your columns by adding a class of small-centered to your column. Large will inherit small centering by default, but you can also center solely on large by applying a large-centered class. To uncenter on large screens use large-uncentered.
HTML
<div class="row">
<div class="small-3 small-centered columns bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible">3 centered</div>
</div>
<div class="row">

Source Ordering
Using these source ordering classes, you can shift columns around between our breakpoints. This means if you place sub-navigation below main content on small displays, you have the option to position the sub-navigation on either the left or right of the page for large displays. Prefix push/pull with the size of the device you want to apply the styles to. medium-push-#, large-push-# is the syntax you'll use. Use large-reset-order to reset pushed or pulled columns to their original position on large screens.

Customize with Sass
Customizing the grid is easy with the Sass variables provided in the _settings.scss file.
SCSS
$row-width: rem-calc(1000);
$column-gutter: rem-calc(30);
$total-columns: 12 ;Basic
You can use the grid-row() and grid-column() mixins to create your own rows and columns with semantic markup, like so:
SCSS
.custom-row-class {
@include grid-row();
.custom-column-class {
@include grid-column(12);
}
}HTML
<div class="your-row-class-name" bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible>
<div class="your-column-class-name" bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible>
<!-- Your content goes here -->
</div>
</div>Advanced
You can further customize your grid columns using the provided options in the grid-column() mixin:
Row Mixin Options
SCSS
.your-class-name {
@include grid-row($behavior: nest) // Other options include collapse and nest-collapse.
// Default $behavior value is false
}Column Mixin Options
SCSS
.custom-grid-class {
@include grid-column(
// Control the number of columns
$columns:4,
// Specify whethere or not this is the last column in the row
$last-column:true,
// Choose whether or not to center this column
$center:true,
// Choose the number of columns to offset this element by
$offset:3,
// Specify how many columns to push this element past
$push:3,
// Specify how many columns to pull this element past
$pull:9,
// Set to true to remove column padding
$collapse:true,
// Specify the float direction
$float:right
);
}Sass Errors?
If the default "foundation" import was commented out, then make sure you import this file:
SCSS

Body copy
Bootstrap Foundation Five's global default font-size is 14px, with a line-height of 1.428. This is applied to the <body> and all paragraphs. In addition, <p> (paragraphs) receive a bottom margin of half their computed line-height (10px by default).
Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula.
Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.
Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
<p>...</p>
Lead body copy
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus.
<p class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible lead">...</p>
Built with Less
The typographic scale is based on two Less variables in variables.less: @font-size-base and @line-height-base. The first is the base font-size used throughout and the second is the base line-height. We use those variables and some simple math to create the margins, paddings, and line-heights of all our type and more. Customize them and Bootstrap Foundation Five adapts.
Emphasis
Make use of HTML's default emphasis tags with lightweight styles.
Small text
For de-emphasizing inline or blocks of text, use the <small> tag to set text at 85% the size of the parent. Heading elements receive their own font-size for nested <small> elements.
You may alternatively use an inline element with .small in place of any <small>.
This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.
<small>This line of text is meant to be treated as fine print.</small>
Bold
For emphasizing a snippet of text with a heavier font-weight.
The following snippet of text is rendered as bold text.
<strong>rendered as bold text</strong>
Italics
For emphasizing a snippet of text with italics.
The following snippet of text is rendered as italicized text.
<em>rendered as italicized text</em>
Alternate elements
Feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5. <b> is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.
Alignment classes
Easily realign text to components with text alignment classes.
Left aligned text.
Center aligned text.
Right aligned text.
Justified text.
<p class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible text-left">Left aligned text.</p>

Abbreviations
Stylized implementation of HTML's <abbr> element for abbreviations and acronyms to show the expanded version on hover. Abbreviations with a title attribute have a light dotted bottom border and a help cursor on hover, providing additional context on hover.
Basic abbreviation
For expanded text on long hover of an abbreviation, include the title attribute with the <abbr> element.
An abbreviation of the word attribute is attr.
<abbr title="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible attribute">attr</abbr>
Initialism
Add .initialism to an abbreviation for a slightly smaller font-size.
HTML is the best thing since sliced bread.
<abbr title="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible HyperText Markup Language" class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible initialism">HTML</abbr>

Blockquotes
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document.
Default blockquote
Wrap <blockquote> around any HTML as the quote. For straight quotes, we recommend a <p>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
<blockquote>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
</blockquote>
Blockquote options
Style and content changes for simple variations on a standard <blockquote>.
Naming a source
Add a <footer> for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
<blockquote>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
<footer>Someone famous in <cite title="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
</blockquote>
Alternate displays
Add .blockquote-reverse for a blockquote with right-aligned content.
<blockquote class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible blockquote-reverse">

Unstyled
Remove the default list-style and left margin on list items (immediate children only). This only applies to immediate children list items, meaning you will need to add the class for any nested lists as well.
- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
- Consectetur adipiscing elit
- Integer molestie lorem at massa

Description
A list of terms with their associated descriptions.
- Description lists
- A description list is perfect for defining terms.
- Euismod
- Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper eget lacinia odio sem nec elit.
- Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.
- Malesuada porta
- Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.
<dl>

<dd>...</dd>
</dl>
Horizontal description
Make terms and descriptions in <dl> line up side-by-side. Starts off stacked like default <dl>s, but when the navbar expands, so do these.

</dl>
Auto-truncating
Horizontal description lists will truncate terms that are too long to fit in the left column with text-overflow. In narrower viewports, they will change to the default stacked layout.
Code
Inline
Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>.
For example,
<section> should be wrapped as inline.
For example, <code><section></code> should be wrapped as inline.
User input
Use the <kbd> to indicate input that is typically entered via keyboard.
To switch directories, type cd followed by the name of the directory.
To switch directories, type <kbd>cd</kbd> followed by the name of the directory.
Basic block
Use <pre> for multiple lines of code. Be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering.
<p>Sample text here...</p>
<pre><p>Sample text here...</p></pre>
You may optionally add the .pre-scrollable class, which will set a max-height of 350px and provide a y-axis scrollbar.
Tables
Basic example
For basic styling—light padding and only horizontal dividers—add the base class .table to any <table>. It may seem super redundant, but given the widespread use of tables for other plugins like calendars and date pickers, we've opted to isolate our custom table styles.

Striped rows
Use .table-striped to add zebra-striping to any table row within the <tbody>.
Cross-browser compatibility
Striped tables are styled via the :nth-child CSS selector, which is not available in Internet Explorer 8.

Responsive tables
Create responsive tables by wrapping any .table in .table-responsive to make them scroll horizontally up to small devices (under 768px). When viewing on anything larger than 768px wide, you will not see any difference in these tables.

Forms
Basic example
Individual form controls automatically receive some global styling. All textual <input>, <textarea>, and <select> elements with .form-control are set to width: 100%; by default. Wrap labels and controls in .form-group for optimum spacing.

Don't mix form groups with input groups
Do not mix form groups directly with input groups. Instead, nest the input group inside of the form group.
Inline form
Add .form-inline to your <form> for left-aligned and inline-block controls. This only applies to forms within viewports that are at least 768px wide.
Requires custom widths
Inputs, selects, and textareas are 100% wide by default in Bootstrap Foundation Five. To use the inline form, you'll have to set a width on the form controls used within.
Always add labels
Screen readers will have trouble with your forms if you don't include a label for every input. For these inline forms, you can hide the labels using the .sr-only class.

Horizontal form
Use Bootstrap Foundation Five's predefined grid classes to align labels and groups of form controls in a horizontal layout by adding .form-horizontal to the form. Doing so changes .form-groups to behave as grid rows, so no need for .row.

Input focus
We remove the default outline styles on some form controls and apply a box-shadow in its place for :focus.
Demo :focus state
The above example input uses custom styles in our documentation to demonstrate the :focus state on a .form-control.
Disabled inputs
Add the disabled attribute on an input to prevent user input and trigger a slightly different look.
<input class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible form-control" id="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible disabledInput" type="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible text" placeholder="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible Disabled input here..." disabled>
Disabled fieldsets
Add the disabled attribute to a <fieldset> to disable all the controls within the <fieldset> at once.
Link functionality of <a> not impacted
This class will only change the appearance of <a class="btn btn-default"> buttons, not their functionality. Use custom JavaScript to disable links here.
Cross-browser compatibility
While Bootstrap Foundation Five will apply these styles in all browsers, Internet Explorer 9 and below don't actually support the disabled attribute on a <fieldset>. Use custom JavaScript to disable the fieldset in these browsers.
<form role="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible form">

Validation states
Bootstrap Foundation Five includes validation styles for error, warning, and success states on form controls. To use, add .has-warning, .has-error, or .has-success to the parent element. Any .control-label, .form-control, and .help-block within that element will receive the validation styles.

With optional icons
You can also add optional feedback icons with the addition of an extra class and the right icon.
Icons, labels, and input groups
Manual positioning of feedback icons is required for inputs without a label and for input groups with an add-on on the right. For inputs without labels, adjust the topvalue. For input groups, adjust the right value to an appropriate pixel value depending on the width of your addon.

Active state
Buttons will appear pressed (with a darker background, darker border, and inset shadow) when active. For <button> elements, this is done via :active. For <a> elements, it's done with .active. However, you may use .active on <button>s should you need to replicate the active state progammatically.
Button element
No need to add :active as it's a pseudo-class, but if you need to force the same appearance, go ahead and add .active.
<button type="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible button" class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible btn btn-primary btn-lg active">Primary button</button>

Anchor element
Add the .active class to <a> buttons.

Disabled state
Make buttons look unclickable by fading them back 50%.
Button element
Add the disabled attribute to <button> buttons.
<button type="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible button" class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible btn btn-lg btn-primary" disabled="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible disabled">Primary button</button>

Cross-browser compatibility
If you add the disabled attribute to a <button>, Internet Explorer 9 and below will render text gray with a nasty text-shadow that we cannot fix.
Anchor element
Add the .disabled class to <a> buttons.
<a href="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible #" class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible btn btn-primary btn-lg disabled" role="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible button">Primary link</a>
<a href="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible #" class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible btn btn-default btn-lg disabled" role="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible button">Link</a>
We use .disabled as a utility class here, similar to the common .active class, so no prefix is required.
Link functionality not impacted
This class will only change the <a>'s appearance, not its functionality. Use custom JavaScript to disable links here.
Context-specific usage
While button classes can be used on <a> and <button> elements, only <button> elements are supported within our nav and navbar components.
Button tags
Use the button classes on an <a>, <button>, or <input> element.
<a class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible btn btn-default" href="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible #" role="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible button">Link</a>

Cross-browser rendering
As a best practice, we highly recommend using the <button> element whenever possible to ensure matching cross-browser rendering.
Among other things, there's a Firefox bug that prevents us from setting the line-height of <input>-based buttons, causing them to not exactly match the height of other buttons on Firefox.
Images
Responsive images
Images in Bootstrap Foundation Five 3 can be made responsive-friendly via the addition of the .img-responsive class. This applies max-width: 100%; and height: auto; to the image so that it scales nicely to the parent element.
<img src="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible ..." class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible img-responsive" alt="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible Responsive image">
Image shapes
Add classes to an <img> element to easily style images in any project.
Cross-browser compatibility
Keep in mind that Internet Explorer 8 lacks support for rounded corners.
<img src="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible ..." alt="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible ..." class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible img-rounded">

Helper classes
Contextual colors
Convey meaning through color with a handful of emphasis utility classes. These may also be applied to links and will darken on hover just like our default link styles.
Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris nibh.
Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.
Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.

<p class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible text-danger">...</p>
Dealing with specificity
Sometimes emphasis classes cannot be applied due to the specificity of another selector. In most cases, a sufficient workaround is to wrap your text in a <span> with the class.
Contextual backgrounds
Similar to the contextual text color classes, easily set the background of an element to any contextual class. Anchor components will darken on hover, just like the text classes.
Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.
Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.
Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna.
Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod.

Close icon
Use the generic close icon for dismissing content like modals and alerts.

Carets
Use carets to indicate dropdown functionality and direction. Note that the default caret will reverse automatically in dropup menus.
<span class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible caret"></span>
Quick floats
Float an element to the left or right with a class. !important is included to avoid specificity issues. Classes can also be used as mixins.
<div class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible pull-left">...</div>
<div class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible pull-right">...</div>

// Usage as mixins
.element {

To align components in navbars with utility classes, use .navbar-left or .navbar-right instead. See the navbar docs for details.
Center content blocks
Set an element to display: block and center via margin. Available as a mixin and class.
<div class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible center-block">...</div>
// Classes
.center-block {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
// Usage as mixins
.element {
.center-block();
}
Clearfix
Clear the float on any element with the .clearfix class. Utilizes the micro clearfix as popularized by Nicolas Gallagher. Can also be used as a mixin.
<!-- Usage as a class -->
<div class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible clearfix">...</div>
// Mixin itself
.clearfix() {
&:before,
&:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
&:after {
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage as a Mixin
.element {
.clearfix();
}
Showing and hiding content
Force an element to be shown or hidden (including for screen readers) with the use of .show and .hidden classes. These classes use !important to avoid specificity conflicts, just like the quick floats. They are only available for block level toggling. They can also be used as mixins.
.hide is available, but it does not always affect screen readers and is deprecated as of v3.0.1. Use .hidden or .sr-only instead.
Furthermore, .invisible can be used to toggle only the visibility of an element, meaning its display is not modified and the element can still affect the flow of the document.
<div class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible show">...</div>
<div class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible hidden">...</div>
// Classes
.show {
display: block !important;
}
.hidden {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden !important;
}
.invisible {
visibility: hidden;
}
// Usage as mixins
.element {
.show();
}
.another-element {
.hidden();
}
Screen reader content
Hide an element to all devices except screen readers with .sr-only. Necessary for following accessibility best practices. Can also be used as a mixin.
<a class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible sr-only" href="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible #content">Skip to main content</a>
// Usage as a Mixin
.skip-navigation {
.sr-only();
}
Image replacement
Utilize the .text-hide class or mixin to help replace an element's text content with a background image.
<h1 class="bootstrap-2-compatible bootstrap-1-compatible foundation-4-compatible foundation-3-compatible foundation-2-compatible foundation-1-compatible text-hide">Custom heading</h1>
// Usage as a Mixin
.heading {
.text-hide();
}
Responsive utilities
For faster mobile-friendly development, use these utility classes for showing and hiding content by device via media query. Also included are utility classes for toggling content when printed.
Try to use these on a limited basis and avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site. Instead, use them to complement each device's presentation. Responsive utilities are currently only available for block and table toggling. Use with inline and table elements is currently not supported.
Available classes
Use a single or combination of the available classes for toggling content across viewport breakpoints.
| Extra small devices Phones (<768px) | Small devices Tablets (≥768px) | Medium devices Desktops (≥992px) | Large devices Desktops (≥1200px) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
.visible-xs |
Visible | Hidden | Hidden | Hidden |
.visible-sm |
Hidden | Visible | Hidden | Hidden |
.visible-md |
Hidden | Hidden | Visible | Hidden |
.visible-lg |
Hidden | Hidden | Hidden | Visible |
.hidden-xs |
Hidden | Visible | Visible | Visible |
.hidden-sm |
Visible | Hidden | Visible | Visible |
.hidden-md |
Visible | Visible | Hidden | Visible |
.hidden-lg |
Visible | Visible | Visible | Hidden |
Print classes
Similar to the regular responsive classes, use these for toggling content for print.
| Class | Browser | |
|---|---|---|
.visible-print |
Hidden | Visible |
.hidden-print |
Visible | Hidden |
Test cases
Resize your browser or load on different devices to test the responsive utility classes.
Visible on...
Green checkmarks indicate the element is visible in your current viewport.
Extra small
✔ Visible on x-small

Here, green checkmarks also indicate the element is hidden in your current viewport.
Using Less
Bootstrap Foundation Five's CSS is built on Less, a preprocessor with additional functionality like variables, mixins, and functions for compiling CSS. Those looking to use the source Less files instead of our compiled CSS files can make use of the numerous variables and mixins we use throughout the framework.
Grid variables and mixins are covered within the Grid system section.
Compiling Bootstrap Foundation Five
Bootstrap Foundation Five can be used in at least two ways: with the compiled CSS or with the source Less files. To compile the Less files, visit the README for how to setup your development environment to run the necessary commands.
Third party compilation tools may work with Bootstrap Foundation Five, but they are not supported by our core team.
Variables
Variables are used throughout the entire project as a way to centralize and share commonly used values like colors, spacing, or font stacks. For a complete breakdown, please see the Customizer.
Colors
Easily make use of two color schemes: grayscale and semantic. Grayscale colors provide quick access to commonly used shades of black while semantic include various colors assigned to meaningful contextual values.
@gray-darker: lighten(#000, 13.5%); // #222
@gray-dark: lighten(#000, 20%); // #333
@gray: lighten(#000, 33.5%); // #555
@gray-light: lighten(#000, 60%); // #999
@gray-lighter: lighten(#000, 93.5%); // #eee
@brand-primary: #428bca;
@brand-success: #5cb85c;
@brand-info: #5bc0de;
@brand-warning: #f0ad4e;
@brand-danger: #d9534f;
Use any of these color variables as they are or reassign them to more meaningful variables for your project.
// Use as-is
.masthead {
background-color: @brand-primary;
}
// Reassigned variables in Less
@alert-message-background: @brand-info;
.alert {
background-color: @alert-message-background;
}
Scaffolding
A handful of variables for quickly customizing key elements of your site's skeleton.
// Scaffolding
@body-bg: #fff;
@text-color: @black-50;
Links
Easily style your links with the right color with only one value.
// Variables
@link-color: @brand-primary;
@link-color-hover: darken(@link-color, 15%);
// Usage
a {
color: @link-color;
text-decoration: none;
&:hover {
color: @link-color-hover;
text-decoration: underline;
}
}
Note that the @link-color-hover uses a function, another awesome tool from Less, to automagically create the right hover color. You can use darken, lighten, saturate, and desaturate.
Typography
Easily set your type face, text size, leading, and more with a few quick variables. Bootstrap Foundation Five makes use of these as well to provide easy typographic mixins.
@font-family-sans-serif: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
@font-family-serif: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
@font-family-monospace: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace;
@font-family-base: @font-family-sans-serif;
@font-size-base: 14px;
@font-size-large: ceil((@font-size-base * 1.25)); // ~18px
@font-size-small: ceil((@font-size-base * 0.85)); // ~12px
@font-size-h1: floor((@font-size-base * 2.6)); // ~36px
@font-size-h2: floor((@font-size-base * 2.15)); // ~30px
@font-size-h3: ceil((@font-size-base * 1.7)); // ~24px
@font-size-h4: ceil((@font-size-base * 1.25)); // ~18px
@font-size-h5: @font-size-base;
@font-size-h6: ceil((@font-size-base * 0.85)); // ~12px
@line-height-base: 1.428571429; // 20/14
@line-height-computed: floor((@font-size-base * @line-height-base)); // ~20px
@headings-font-family: inherit;
@headings-font-weight: 500;
@headings-line-height: 1.1;
@headings-color: inherit;
Icons
Two quick variables for customizing the location and filename of your icons.
@icon-font-path: "../fonts/";
@icon-font-name: "glyphicons-halflings-regular";
Components
Components throughout Bootstrap Foundation Five make use of some default variables for setting common values. Here are the most commonly used.
@padding-base-vertical: 6px;
@padding-base-horizontal: 12px;
@padding-large-vertical: 10px;
@padding-large-horizontal: 16px;
@padding-small-vertical: 5px;
@padding-small-horizontal: 10px;
@padding-xs-vertical: 1px;
@padding-xs-horizontal: 5px;
@line-height-large: 1.33;
@line-height-small: 1.5;
@border-radius-base: 4px;
@border-radius-large: 6px;
@border-radius-small: 3px;
@component-active-color: #fff;
@component-active-bg: @brand-primary;
@caret-width-base: 4px;
@caret-width-large: 5px;
Vendor mixins
Vendor mixins are mixins to help support multiple browsers by including all relevant vendor prefixes in your compiled CSS.
Box-sizing
Reset your components' box model with a single mixin. For context, see this helpful article from Mozilla.
.box-sizing(@box-model) {
-webkit-box-sizing: @box-model; // Safari <= 5
-moz-box-sizing: @box-model; // Firefox <= 19
box-sizing: @box-model;
}
Rounded corners
Today all modern browsers support the non-prefixed border-radius property. As such, there is no .border-radius() mixin, but Bootstrap Foundation Five does include shortcuts for quickly rounding two corners on a particular side of an object.
.border-top-radius(@radius) {
border-top-right-radius: @radius;
border-top-left-radius: @radius;
}
.border-right-radius(@radius) {
border-bottom-right-radius: @radius;
border-top-right-radius: @radius;
}
.border-bottom-radius(@radius) {
border-bottom-right-radius: @radius;
border-bottom-left-radius: @radius;
}
.border-left-radius(@radius) {
border-bottom-left-radius: @radius;
border-top-left-radius: @radius;
}
Box (Drop) shadows
If your target audience is using the latest and greatest browsers and devices, be sure to just use the box-shadow property on its own. If you need support for older Android (pre-v4) and iOS devices (pre-iOS 5), use the deprecated mixin to pick up the required -webkit prefix.
The mixin is deprecated as of v3.1.0, since Bootstrap Foundation Five doesn't officially support the outdated platforms that don't support the standard property. To preserve backwards-compatibility, Bootstrap Foundation Five will continue to use the mixin internally until Bootstrap Foundation Five v4.
Be sure to use rgba() colors in your box shadows so they blend as seamlessly as possible with backgrounds.
.box-shadow(@shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.25)) {
-webkit-box-shadow: @shadow; // iOS <4.3 & Android <4.1
box-shadow: @shadow;
}
Transitions
Three mixins for flexibility. Set all transition information with one, or specify a separate delay and duration as needed.
.transition(@transition) {
-webkit-transition: @transition;
transition: @transition;
}
.transition-property(@transition-property) {
-webkit-transition-property: @transition-property;
transition-property: @transition-property;
}
.transition-delay(@transition-delay) {
-webkit-transition-delay: @transition-delay;
transition-delay: @transition-delay;
}
.transition-duration(@transition-duration) {
-webkit-transition-duration: @transition-duration;
transition-duration: @transition-duration;
}
.transition-transform(@transition) {
-webkit-transition: -webkit-transform @transition;
-moz-transition: -moz-transform @transition;
-o-transition: -o-transform @transition;
transition: transform @transition;
}
Transformations
Rotate, scale, translate (move), or skew any object.
.rotate(@degrees) {
-webkit-transform: rotate(@degrees);
-ms-transform: rotate(@degrees); // IE9 only
transform: rotate(@degrees);
}
.scale(@ratio; @ratio-y...) {
-webkit-transform: scale(@ratio, @ratio-y);
-ms-transform: scale(@ratio, @ratio-y); // IE9 only
transform: scale(@ratio, @ratio-y);
}
.translate(@x; @y) {
-webkit-transform: translate(@x, @y);
-ms-transform: translate(@x, @y); // IE9 only
transform: translate(@x, @y);
}
.skew(@x; @y) {
-webkit-transform: skew(@x, @y);
-ms-transform: skewX(@x) skewY(@y); // See https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/4885; IE9+
transform: skew(@x, @y);
}
.translate3d(@x; @y; @z) {
-webkit-transform: translate3d(@x, @y, @z);
transform: translate3d(@x, @y, @z);
}
.rotateX(@degrees) {
-webkit-transform: rotateX(@degrees);
-ms-transform: rotateX(@degrees); // IE9 only
transform: rotateX(@degrees);
}
.rotateY(@degrees) {
-webkit-transform: rotateY(@degrees);
-ms-transform: rotateY(@degrees); // IE9 only
transform: rotateY(@degrees);
}
.perspective(@perspective) {
-webkit-perspective: @perspective;
-moz-perspective: @perspective;
perspective: @perspective;
}
.perspective-origin(@perspective) {
-webkit-perspective-origin: @perspective;
-moz-perspective-origin: @perspective;
perspective-origin: @perspective;
}
.transform-origin(@origin) {
-webkit-transform-origin: @origin;
-moz-transform-origin: @origin;
-ms-transform-origin: @origin; // IE9 only
transform-origin: @origin;
}
Animations
A single mixin for using all of CSS3's animation properties in one declaration and other mixins for individual properties.
.animation(@animation) {
-webkit-animation: @animation;
animation: @animation;
}
.animation-name(@name) {
-webkit-animation-name: @name;
animation-name: @name;
}
.animation-duration(@duration) {
-webkit-animation-duration: @duration;
animation-duration: @duration;
}
.animation-timing-function(@timing-function) {
-webkit-animation-timing-function: @timing-function;
animation-timing-function: @timing-function;
}
.animation-delay(@delay) {
-webkit-animation-delay: @delay;
animation-delay: @delay;
}
.animation-iteration-count(@iteration-count) {
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: @iteration-count;
animation-iteration-count: @iteration-count;
}
.animation-direction(@direction) {
-webkit-animation-direction: @direction;
animation-direction: @direction;
}
Opacity
Set the opacity for all browsers and provide a filter fallback for IE8.
.opacity(@opacity) {
opacity: @opacity;
// IE8 filter
@opacity-ie: (@opacity * 100);
filter: ~"alpha(opacity=@{opacity-ie})";
}
Placeholder text
Provide context for form controls within each field.
.placeholder(@color: @input-color-placeholder) {
&:-moz-placeholder { color: @color; } // Firefox 4-18
&::-moz-placeholder { color: @color; } // Firefox 19+
&:-ms-input-placeholder { color: @color; } // Internet Explorer 10+
&::-webkit-input-placeholder { color: @color; } // Safari and Chrome
}
Columns
Generate columns via CSS within a single element.
.content-columns(@width; @count; @gap) {
-webkit-column-width: @width;
-moz-column-width: @width;
column-width: @width;
-webkit-column-count: @count;
-moz-column-count: @count;
column-count: @count;
-webkit-column-gap: @gap;
-moz-column-gap: @gap;
column-gap: @gap;
}
Gradients
Easily turn any two colors into a background gradient. Get more advanced and set a direction, use three colors, or use a radial gradient. With a single mixin you get all the prefixed syntaxes you'll need.
#gradient > .vertical(#333; #000);
#gradient > .horizontal(#333; #000);
#gradient > .radial(#333; #000);
You can also specify the angle of a standard two-color, linear gradient:
#gradient > .directional(#333; #000; 45deg);
If you need a barber-stripe style gradient, that's easy, too. Just specify a single color and we'll overlay a translucent white stripe.
#gradient > .striped(#333; #000; 45deg);
Up the ante and use three colors instead. Set the first color, the second color, the second color's color stop (a decimal value like 0.25), and the third color with these mixins:
#gradient > .vertical-three-colors(#777; #333; .25; #000);
#gradient > .horizontal-three-colors(#777; #333; .25; #000);
Heads up! Should you ever need to remove a gradient, be sure to remove any IE-specific filter you may have added. You can do that by using the .reset-filter() mixin alongside background-image: none;.
Utility mixins
Utility mixins are mixins that combine otherwise unrelated CSS properties to achieve a specific goal or task.
Clearfix
Forget adding class="clearfix" to any element and instead add the .clearfix() mixin where appropriate. Uses the micro clearfix from Nicolas Gallager.
// Mixin
.clearfix() {
&:before,
&:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
&:after {
clear: both;
}
}
// Usage
.container {
.clearfix();
}
Horizontal centering
Quickly center any element within its parent. Requires width or max-width to be set.
// Mixin
.center-block() {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
// Usage
.container {
width: 940px;
.center-block();
}
Sizing helpers
Specify the dimensions of an object more easily.
// Mixins
.size(@width; @height) {
width: @width;
height: @height;
}
.square(@size) {
.size(@size; @size);
}
// Usage
.image { .size(400px; 300px); }
.avatar { .square(48px); }
Resizable textareas
Easily configure the resize options for any textarea, or any other element. Defaults to normal browser behavior (both).
.resizable(@direction: both) {
// Options: horizontal, vertical, both
resize: @direction;
// Safari fix
overflow: auto;
}
Truncating text
Easily truncate text with an ellipsis with a single mixin. Requires element to be block or inline-block level.
// Mixin
.text-overflow() {
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
}
// Usage
.branch-name {
display: inline-block;
max-width: 200px;
.text-overflow();
}
Retina images
Specify two image paths and the @1x image dimensions, and Bootstrap Foundation Five will provide an @2x media query. If you have many images to serve, consider writing your retina image CSS manually in a single media query.
.img-retina(@file-1x; @file-2x; @width-1x; @height-1x) {
background-image: url("@{file-1x}");
@media
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
only screen and ( min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
only screen and ( -o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2/1),
only screen and ( min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
only screen and ( min-resolution: 192dpi),
only screen and ( min-resolution: 2dppx) {
background-image: url("@{file-2x}");
background-size: @width-1x @height-1x;
}
}
// Usage
.jumbotron {
.img-retina("/img/bg-1x.png", "/img/bg-2x.png", 100px, 100px);
}
Using Sass
While Bootstrap Foundation Five is built on Less, it also has an official Sass port. We maintain it in a separate GitHub repository and handle updates with a conversion script.
What's included
Since the Sass port has a separate repo and serves a slightly different audience, the contents of the project differ greatly from the main Bootstrap Foundation Five project. This ensures the Sass port is as compatible with as many Sass-based systems as possible.
