Bootstrap Fluid Layout

In this tutorial you will learn how to create fluid layouts with Bootstrap.

Creating Fluid Layout with Bootstrap

In Bootstrap (version 3.2+), you can use the class .container-fluid to create the fluid layouts in order to utilize the 100% width of the viewport.

The class .container-fluid simply applies the horizontal margin with the value auto and left and right padding of 15px on element to offset the left and right margin of -15px(i.e. margin: 0 -15px;) used on the .row.

The following code creates a fluid layout that covers 100% width of the screen.

Example

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
```
```
<html lang="en">
```
```
<head>
```
```
<meta charset="utf-8">
```
