100% width Twitter Bootstrap 3 template
For Bootstrap 3, you would need to use a custom wrapper and set its width to 100%.
.container-full {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
}
Here is a working example on Bootply
If you prefer not to add a custom class, you can acheive a very wide layout (not 100%) by wrapping everything inside a col-lg-12
(wide layout demo)
Update for Bootstrap 3.1
The container-fluid
class has returned in Bootstrap 3.1, so this can be used to create a full width layout (no additional CSS required)..
Bootstrap 3.1 demo
This is the complete basic structure for 100% width layout in Bootstrap v3.0.0. You shouldn't wrap your <div class="row">
with container
class. Cause container
class will take lots of margin and this will not provide you full screen (100% width) layout where bootstrap has removed container-fluid class from their mobile-first version v3.0.0.
So just start writing <div class="row">
without container class and you are ready to go with 100% width layout.
