Bootstrap - covering or overlapping columns












0















I want to cover or overlap two columns.



Having one on the left side (6 columns) and one on the right side (6 columns).



My result should be: left side (8) and right side (6) - overlapping for 2 columns.



I have looked into Bootstrap documentation for offset/push/pull properties but got no proper result.



Here is jsfiddle.

          Try adding a negative margin-left to the smaller div. (I added the panel class so the overlap would be visible). For the sake of the example, I just added the css in a style attribute.



          <div class="col-lg-6">
          <div class="col-lg-8 panel">this is the left div</div>
          <div class="col-lg-6 panel" style="margin-left: -16.7%;z-index:-1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this is the right div</div>
          </div>

            The math for one column would be 100/12=8.333333333333333. So, 16.66666666666667 should be the equivalent of two columns. I've never seen a reason to overlap columns, so this was just a shot from the hip. I had only tried it with trial and error and hadn't attempted to match two columns, exactly. After experimenting with it, margin-left:-16.7% overlaps and margin-left:-16.6% wraps.
