Bootstrap grid with fixed wrapper - Prevent columns from stacking up
As the title says I'm trying to use Bootstrap 3 grid system with a fixed wrapper. But when I resize the Browser the columns stack up even if the wrapper stays the same size?
BTW: I'm using version 3 so that I can move to a responsive layout after I have ported the site. (Which is huge and I'm alone, so step by step is the only option ...)

Answer
The sm,md,lg,etc.. cols wrap/stack responsively. Use the non-stacking col-xs-* class...
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">.col-4</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">.col-4</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">.col-4</div>
</div>
</div>

EDIT: Bootstrap 4, the xs no longer needs to be specified..
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">.col-4</div>
<div class="col-4">.col-4</div>
<div class="col-4">.col-4</div>
</div>
</div>
