I want to have a 5 column in row
and only 1 column for small devices screens with less then 480px width.
I am new to zurb foundation and still learning about it.
fiddle example http://jsfiddle.net/V7TuY/1/
<div class="row">
<div class="small-6 medium-3 large-3 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 1]" />
<p></p>
</div>
<div class="small-6 medium-3 large-3 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 2]" />
<p></p>
</div>
<div class="small-6 medium-3 large-3 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 3]" />
<p></p>
</div>
<div class="small-6 medium-3 large-3 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 4]" />
<p></p>
</div>
<div class="small-6 medium-3 large-3 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 5]" />
<p></p>
</div>
Is it better to this kind of thing with columns or list ul li
The foundation grid is based on 12 "units" per row. In your example you have 5 <div>
with classes medium-3
and large-3
= 15 units per row. Foundation will manage to fit the first 4 in (4 * 3 = 12 units), and then the fifth will be pushed to the line below.
One idea to fit in your 5 items, is to give everything a medium-2
width (10 units), and offset the row by one unit
on the left (class medium-offset-1
on first element) and tell Foundation that the fifth element is the last in your row (with class end
on the last element).
For example:
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 medium-2 medium-offset-1 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 1]"/>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-2 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 1]"/>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-2 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 1]"/>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-2 columns">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 1]"/>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-2 columns end">
<img src="http://placehold.it/480x600&text=[img 1]"/>
</div>
</div>
The point of the medium-offset-1
is to centre the content (after a fashion): you have 10 units to fit into a possible 12. Offsetting by one, and using end
will leave you with a 1 unit gap on each side of your content. However, if you want it to sit to the left of your page just remove the medium-offset-1
class from the example above.
Note - You really only need the medium-2
and medium-offset-2
here as by default this applies to large
grids too, unless overriden by classes large-*
or large-offset-*
.
