Bootstrap Columns Overlapping

I have an issue with bootstrap's grid layout. My columns are overlapping one another when I resize the screen to a smaller layout. I'm not sure what the issue is. Here is a picture

Solution 1:

According to Bootstrap Docs, for each .row you need to have a .col-*-* as direct child but you don't have it in a few of them. Which cause the overflow.

Plus don't use the html tag width, it is deprecated. use class="img-responsive" from bootstrap to achieve max-width:100%

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css"  />
<div class='container-fluid'>
  <div class="row">
    <!-- 1 -->
    <div class="col-sm-5 col-md-4">
      <h1>JOHN SMITH</h1>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class='row'>
    <!-- 2 -->
    <div class="col-sm-5 col-md-4">
      <h2>VULCAN FLATBED</h2>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="row">
    <!-- 3 -->
    <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4" style="background-color:yellow;">

      <div class='row'>
        <div class="col-xs-12">
          <img class="img-responsive" src="//lorempixel.com/500/200" alt="vehicle image" />
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class='row'>
        <div class="col-xs-12">
          <button type='submit'>
            <img src="book_now_button@2x.png" alt="book now">
          </button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-8 col-md-8 col-lg-8" style="background-color:pink;">
      <!-- RIGHT SIDE -->

      <div class='row'>
        <div class="col-xs-12">
          <h3>CAN HELP WITH</h3>
          <p>LIFTING & YARD WORK</p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class='row'>
        <div class="col-xs-12">
          <h3>AVAILABLE</h3>
          <p>ALL WEEKENDS</p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class='row'>
        <div class="col-xs-12">

      </div>
    </div>

Solution 2:

I believe your problem is that you have many elements with the "row" class that don't have any columns in them. The hierarchy goes container > row > col. Without a column, there is no need for anything to be declared a row, and it affects the layout in unusual ways without them.

Another problem is your image. Remove the "width" attribute, and add the following class attribute: class="img-responsive". See the Images section of the bootstrap docs for details.

Solution 3:

In my case, I was using box-sizing: content-box; for all my elements in css. That is why padding was creating problems with overall computed width of the elements. So, I changed it to box-sizing: border-box; from box-sizing: content-box;
