Override bootstrap side gaps on page for div

I'm using bootstrap 4.3.1, ASP.NET MVC (.NET 5) and all the pages have gaps at the side which is fine but I want one div to ignore that and be 80% of the width and centered, whilst the remaining parts of the page stay the same.

No matter what the div wont change unless I put "width: 1000px;" and there's still the left margin, even though I specify "left: 50px !important".

I've tried a combination of setting the div as "container-fluid" and adding that into a "row". I've also tried adding style tags "style="width:80% !important; left:50px !important;padding:0px;margin:0px;"

Solution

  • You have a container-fluid inside of a container. Your parent container will take the appropriate width in the center of the screen, and then your container-fluid will take the 100% of that. So in the end you'll have a div with the same width of a container. All you need to do is remove the div enclosing the <main>, i.e., the <div class="container">.

    It should look something like:

    <main>
    <div class="container-fluid">
    // Navbar Code
    </div>
</main>

    This should span the navbar wide. However, you'll still have a 15px padding on both sides, you can remove it by adding a px-0 class on the container-fluid div.

    Also, you have imported Jquery, Bootstrap-min and Bootstrap Bundle. You do not the need the Bootstrap-min if you have the bundle. You should remove it to prevent any issues with JS related parts of Bootstrap.
