In a bootstrap website like www.teachyourselfpython.com, the welcome and the resources section (if you scroll down) are WHITE. That is, the background colour is white.
I have tried various things and it is not obvious to me where to put the code or what to put, to change that white background for each section (but not affecting the rest) to a light grey.
For example the 'Our resources' section on the page is BLACK, but I cannot see the code that turns it black.
<!-- About Section -->
<section id="about">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<p></br></br></br></p>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 text-center">
<h2 class="section-heading">Our Resources</h2>
<h3 class="section-subheading text-muted">A Better way to learn Python.<h3>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">

Can anyone suggest the best method to make a very simple tweak (simply to the main index page) to turn the white parts of the background light GREY
Source code: www.teachyourselfpython.com can be used for demo (in terms of where to insert what)
I have tried adding this under each section
<!-- About Section -->
<section id="about">
<div class="container" style="background-color: #ce0818;opacity:0.8;">
but this turns the block 'red' (or whatever colour) and not the entire WIDTH of the website, this being the problem.
In context of our resources - you should put that background css to the section div not in container div
<section id= 'about' style="background:black;padding: 60px 0;
text-align: center;">
and to change the background to light grey write it in tag like
<body style="background:#cccccc !important;">
This is inline method which is not preferred much . You can use external css and write your css there and include that file in page
To use an external style sheet, add a link to it in the section of the HTML page:
example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
and write
body{
background:#cccccc;
}
#about{
background: #24242a;
padding: 60px 0;
text-align: center;
}
or can include that css code in that page inside head tag example:
<head>
<style>
//write your style code here
</style>
</head>
teachyourself have that css written in css/main.css file

I need to create footer which will be just like small orange bar, and I need to make it responsive, I mean when I resized my window everything should be ok. How can I do that?
<footer id="footer" role="contentinfo">
<p class="powered-by">
#language ("powered-by German")
</p>
</footer>
This is my <footer> tag in portal_normal.vm
To make your footer responsive, you can use Liferay supported Twitter Bootstrap classes, aided by your own custom styles controlled through media queries in custom.css of theme:
Example:
<div id="footer" class="row-fluid">
<div class="span12 text-center">
<p class="powered-by">
#language ("powered-by German")
</p>
</div>
</div>

In my custom.css I write this:
#footer {
text-align: center;
background: #ffa500
}
and get orange centered footer.
I am a beginner, trying to teach myself code. I know HTML and have recently learnt the basics of Javascript syntax and bootstrap - I realise the best way to learn is to build something. So I am trying to build a website where users can search for famous people to see what books they recommend. For example, if I want to know what books Elon Musk would recommend, I should be able to type in his name and it would take me to a page where there is a list of all books recommended by him.
I have the index page ready looking something like google, and I am trying to understand how I can have the search bar functioning so people can search through all the pages I would build. I realise I need the auto complete feature to work so people can type in the first few letters of the person's name and click on the suggestion to go to the page.
Here's my code so far:
#content {height: 100%;}
html, body {height: 100%;}
.center-block {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 200px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}

as you said, best way to learn is building something on your own from scratch. To create the functionality you described you need:
server for responding to the requests made by browser. I suggest starting with Node js especially with express (https://expressjs.com/). It's really simple to install and get started.
database (or just static json file) with node you can use for example Mongo db with Mongoose (http://mongoosejs.com/)
front-end framework and libraries you are using bootstrap which is fine! Add React js (https://facebook.github.io/react/) to that and you are ready to go!
So my suggestion is to use those libraries/frameworks and learn just bit by bit. Start from server and try creating some basic pages (or just page). You can fetch the autocomplete data then with AJAX techinque. React has lot of well written components and for example for ajax autocomplete you can use this: https://jedwatson.github.io/react-select/
Happy learning!
I would like to get bootstrap to show something like the attached image, meaning a div wrapper with blue background-color some padding and 3 images inside (I use this horrible colors just for the sake of clarity).
It should be pretty straight forward but, honestly, I couldn't get it. If I try something like :
<div class="span9">
<div class="row">
<div class="span9" style="background-color:blue;">
<img class="span3" src="..."></img>
<img class="span3" src="..."></img>
<img class="span3" src="..."></img>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Inside my container class, the tird image does not fit in the wrapper and goes below the other two, as it appears in this image:
Anyone would give me a hand, please?
Try this:
<div class="span9" style="background-color:blue;">
<div class="row">
<div class="span3">
<img class="span3" src="..." />
</div>
<div class="span3">
<img class="span3" src="..." />
</div>
<div class="span3">
<img class="span3" src="..." />
</div>
</div>
</div>
Possible solution is clearing floats? Quite a bit has been written lately on this but here is one article as a start. Clearing Floats
From a design and requirements point of view, you might consider something like create divs, then fill them with png images that are extra large then add a transparency to the borders so that have a clear background to appear as if they were bordered as such or show your background color.
The trick I believe for you is to use transparent .png's would do the trick, and or adding the desired look to your images.
I have a problem with a standard Twitter Bootstrap progress bar with some text if it is within <div class="hero-unit">, also standard Twitter Bootstrap class:
<div class="hero-unit">
<div class="container">
<div class="progress progress-striped active">
<div class="bar" style="width: 80%;">80%</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a jsFiddle code, that shows the text is not aligned properly.
Why this is happening and how to fix? I've tried to fix it but had no luck.
Thank you.
It is the line-height: 30px on hero-unit which causes the problem.
I've change the code like this:
<div class="hero-unit" style="line-height: inherit">
Of course it is better to assign a class to it, instead of using the style attribute.
I want the 2 columns to touch ie. remove the margins, how can I do this?

Add a class to the right column and set margin-left to 0.
If that doesn't work you might have to increase the width by 1 or 2%. You can use firebug to check the applied styles and change them on the fly.
Notice that you're using YUI (Yahoo UI).
Look for the YUI reset.css. Every browser has potentially different margin, padding, font-size defaults. You should really start every web app with a reset.css file like that to bring everything to a common denominator. Otherwise you might find you "fix" the issue, only for it to appear again when viewed from another machine / platform.
Should hopefully start you off with all block elements having no margins or padding and then you can rather add margins and padding back in where you need it.
