what is the difference between bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap.min.js ?
Why bootstrap.min.js need to be included?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
and
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
They're both minified versions of the complete Bootstrap style (CSS) and components (JS). You don't need to include the JS to use the Bootstrap styles (responsive grid, buttons, tables, typography, panels, etc..).
However, you do need to include the JS if you want to use the Bootstrap JavaScript components (modal, carousel, data-attributes, scrollspy, tooltop, etc..).
Bootstrap.min.css contains the CSS necessary for the Bootstrap to work correctly.
Some of the functionality offered by the bootstrap aren't possible though using only plain .css and this is where javascript comes into play.
Bootstrap.min.js contains javascript code necessary for running Bootstrap.
.css is a stylesheet file and .js is javascript file
all javascript components of bootstrap are bundled into bootstrap.min.js
Well min.css obviously minifies the style for core bootstrap CSS while min.js minifies javascript modules. I think you should google some basic web tutorials before you start working with bootstrap.
You can need their own functions, check this: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/

I've created a site with Bootstrap 4. I downloaded all the files necessary for Bootstrap to work, and for some strange reason, it's not working. When I use the CDN version of Bootstrap, everything works just fine. Am I missing something? You can view the site here.
This is my file structure for JS
This is my file structure for the CSS files
You seem to be including the Bootstrap CSS correctly using a relative path - css/bootstrap.min.css.
It appears you are using the CDN version of the Bootstrap JS and want to use the copy on your own server. You can include it in a similar way to that of the CSS above.
i.e.
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
If you have any further questions, comment below and I will help further.
I would like to use a bootstrap modal as seen here:
http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/
In the example modals. However my site uses 0 bootstrap resources (.css or .js).
What is the simplest way i can go about adding bootstrap (both in UI and animation style) modals to my site?
Just extract the bits needed from bootstrap.js and .css that are needed? Just wondering if there are other options.
Thank you.
I think its better to use the minified versions of the .js and .css files from the bootstrap bundle rather than bits and pieces of the files.
You can download it from : https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases/download/v3.1.1/bootstrap-3.1.1-dist.zip
Using modals is very simple after that: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals
I am using twitter bootstrap in my project and i am a beginner for bootstrap. I want to know that if i downloaded bootstrap.js and bootstrap.css and after that i want to use bootsrap js plugin like carousel, popover etc then i have to download a separate js file for each plugin or not ?
And if yes than is there any way to download a single bootstrap.js which cover all js plugins and boostrap.css which cover all js plugin css ?
you could do that either way
the generic bootstrap.js and bootstrap.css contains the entire bootstrap tools and widgets
Alternativly, you could create your own bootstrap with only the things you need on
http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/customize.html
and yes there is a way - http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/
2 lines of code and you got bootstrap
Plugins can be included individually (using Bootstrap's individual *.js
files, or all at once (using bootstrap.js or the minified bootstrap.min.js.
bootstrap.js includes them all. Why don't you check inside the file for its content?
You don't to download separate js file for each plugin. bootstrap.js and bootstrap.css are common files for all plugins.
New to bootstrap and javascript and was trying to build a fairly minimal example of a dropdown menu. I am using bootstrap 2.3.2 which is the current version. My css and js are visible in my IDE. From the bootstrap docs it seems that a standard install of bootstrap.js contains bootstrap-dropdown.js and I can see it in the file. Yet, I need to have the following for the drop down menu to work:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="assets/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<script src="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/js/bootstrap-dropdown.js"></script>
Why do I have to load bootstrap-dropdown.js separately if it is included in bootstrap.js? Obviously there is something fundamental here that I don't understand. Thanks.
From Bootstrap website :
Plugins can be included individually (though some have required
dependencies), or all at once. Both bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js
contain all plugins in a single file.
Both bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js contain all plugins in a single file. you do not need the bootstrap-dropdown.js if you include bootstrap.min.js or bootstrap.js from the bootstrap page, check this overview on Bootstrap site. i can see that you are including both bootstrap.min.js and bootstrap.js but only one is enough.
Check the demo here, only using bootstrap.js.
Also, you can download a customized version from here, just according to your need you can add components/plugins and then download the custom build.
I'm using modal and dropbox js of twitter bootstrap in my project and having problem using the two.
I have added the following script tags in my html -
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap-dropdown.js"></script>
Now, if I keep both tags, dropdown js does not work but if I remove the first one, dropdown works but I cannot use modal. Is adding a separate js for modal dialog i.e bootstrap-modal.js is the only solution or am I missing something here?
Both bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js contain all plugins in a single file. you do not need the bootstrap-dropdown.js if you include bootstrap.min.js
From the bootstrap page
http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html
Both bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js contain all plugins in a single file. you do not need the bootstrap-dropdown.js if you include bootstrap.min.js.
I also face the same problem sometimes. Sometime its difficult to predict the behavior of scripts with twitter bootstrap. Like there is plugin for dropdown in bootstrap.js but still not working. if you include separate dropdown.js then there is no issue
