[css] Bootstrap 3: pull-right for col-lg only

New to bootstrap 3.... In my layout I have:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6">elements 1</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6">
         <div class="pull-right">
            elements 2
         </div>
    </div>
</div>

I would like the 'elements 2' to NOT be aligned right on smaller than col-lg screens. So effectively having the class pull-right only for col-lg-6...

How could I achieve this?

Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/thibs/Y6WPz/

Thank-you

For those interested in text alignment, a simple solution is to create a new class:

.text-right-large {
    text-align: right;
}
@media (max-width: 991px) {
    .text-right-large {
        text-align: left;
    }
}

Then add that class:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6">elements 1</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 text-right-large">
        elements 2
    </div>
</div>

There is no need to create your own class with media queries. Bootstrap 3 already has float ordering for media breakpoints under Column Ordering: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-column-ordering

The syntax for the class is col-<#grid-size>-(push|pull)-<#cols> where <#grid-size> is xs, sm, md or lg and <#cols> is how far you want the column to move for that grid size. Push or pull is left or right of course.

I use it all the time so I know it works well.

This problem is solved in bootstrap-4-alpha-2.

Here is the link: http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2015/12/08/bootstrap-4-alpha-2/

Clone it on github: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/v4.0.0-alpha.2

now include bootstrap 4:

@import url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.3/css/bootstrap.min.css');

and code should be like this:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6" style="border:solid 1px red">elements 1</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6" style="border:solid 1px red">
         <div class="pull-lg-right pull-xl-right">
            elements 2
         </div>
    </div>
</div>

It is very simple using Sass, just use @extend:

.pull-right-xs { 
    @extend .pull-right;
 }

This is what i am using . change @screen-md-max for other sizes

/* Pull left in lg resolutions */
@media (min-width: @screen-md-max) {
    .pull-xs-right {
        float: right !important;
    }
    .pull-xs-left {
        float: left !important;
    }

    .radio-inline.pull-xs-left  + .radio-inline.pull-xs-left ,
    .checkbox-inline.pull-xs-left  + .checkbox-inline.pull-xs-left  {
        margin-left: 0;
    }
    .radio-inline.pull-xs-left, .checkbox-inline.pull-xs-left{
        margin-right: 10px;
    }
}

Try this LESS snippet (It's created from the examples above & the media query mixins in grid.less).

@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) {
.pull-right-sm {
  float: right;
}
}
@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) {
.pull-right-md {
  float: right;
}
}
@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) {
.pull-right-lg {
  float: right;
}
}

Just use bootstrap's responsive utility classes!

The best solution for that task is to use the following code:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6">elements 1</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 text-right">
        <div class="visible-lg-inline-block visible-md-block visible-sm-block visible-xs-block">
            elements 2
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Element will be aligned to the right only on lg screens - on the rest the display attribute will be set to block as it is by default for div element. This approach is using text-right class on the parent element instead of pull-right.

Alternative solution:

The biggest disadvantage is that the html code inside needs to be repeated twice.

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6">elements 1</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6">
         <div class="pull-right visible-lg">
            elements 2
         </div>
         <div class="hidden-lg">
            elements 2
         </div>
    </div>
</div>

.pull-right-not-xs, .pull-right-not-sm, .pull-right-not-md, .pull-right-not-lg{
    float: right;
}

.pull-left-not-xs, .pull-left-not-sm, .pull-left-not-md, .pull-left-not-lg{
    float: left;
}
@media (max-width: 767px) {    
    .pull-right-not-xs, .pull-left-not-xs{
        float: none;
    }
    .pull-right-xs {
        float: right;
    }
    .pull-left-xs {
        float: left;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991px) {
    .pull-right-not-sm, .pull-left-not-sm{
        float: none;
    }
    .pull-right-sm {
        float: right;
    }
    .pull-left-sm {
        float: left;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
    .pull-right-not-md, .pull-left-not-md{
        float: none;
    }
    .pull-right-md {
        float: right;
    }
    .pull-left-md {
        float: left;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .pull-right-not-lg, .pull-left-not-lg{
        float: none;
    }
    .pull-right-lg {
        float: right;
    }
    .pull-left-lg {
        float: left;
    }
}

Works fine too:

/* small screen portrait */

@media (max-width: 321px) {

  .pull-right { 
    float: none!important; 
  }

}


/* small screen lanscape */

@media (max-width: 480px) {

  .pull-right {
    float: none!important; 
  }

}

Adding the CSS shown below to your Bootstrap 3 application enables support for

pull-{e|sm-|md-|lg-}left
pull-{e|sm-|md-|lg-}right

classes that work exactly like the new

float-{e|sm-|md-|lg-|xl-}left
float-{e|sm-|md-|lg-|xl-}right

classes that have been introduced in Bootstrap 4:

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .pull-sm-left {
        float: left !important;
    }
    .pull-sm-right {
        float: right !important;
    }
    .pull-sm-none {
        float: none !important;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 992px) {
    .pull-md-left {
        float: left !important;
    }
    .pull-md-right {
        float: right !important;
    }
    .pull-md-none {
        float: none !important;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .pull-lg-left {
        float: left !important;
    }
    .pull-lg-right {
        float: right !important;
    }
    .pull-lg-none {
        float: none !important;
    }
}
.pull-none {
    float: none !important;
}

Apart from that, it adds

pull-{e|sm-|md-|lg-}none

for completeness, being compatible with

float-{e|sm-|md-|lg-|xl-}none

from Bootstrap 4.

You can use push and pull to change column ordering. You pull one column and push the other on large devices:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-lg-pull-6">elements 1</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-lg-push-6">
         <div>
            elements 2
         </div>
    </div>
</div>
