How easy is it to integrate Twitter Bootstrap?

  • I have a website built in Rails that is just falling apart in different browsers. Is Twitter Bootstrap something I can use to make it work?

  • Answer:

    Twitter Bootstrap, on it's own, supports most major browsers in use, notably IE7+. If you use the grid components or any of the widgets/tables/forms provided in it, they're guaranteed to work in those browsers (though from personal experience, varying degrees of performance, such as lack of rounded corners/gradients in the older browsers).  However, when you're writing your own custom CSS to include with Twitter Bootstrap, just make sure all the additional CSS you write is also cross-browser compatible.  Similarly, when adding JavaScript or any of the new HTML5 markup elements, make sure those too are also cross-browser compatible.  The Bootstrap developers will only make sure the elements of Bootstrap alone work in all of the browsers they specify.

Since i was asked to answer this here is my take. when you say "it is falling apart" you could have mentioned the browser and their versions that fail. Does the forms fall apart or the layout or something else.If your  target is > IE6 then twitter bootstrap certainly will handle everything for you. click the link below to know browser compatibility https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/wiki/Browser-Compatibility Next coming to the work involved. First and foremost you have to add grid support that makes your website responsive. This is done by using certain class names such as "container","row","spanX". Are you going to use those Buttons and Javascript components ? If YES then you will have to add more classes to your existing buttons and form elements. If NO then you can style these to your heart's desire :) You want only some stuff but not others ? do a customization here http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/download.html

Twitter bootstrap is something you can rely on. But it's difficult to understand the fact that it is falling apart on different browsers. My take on the browsers is that only IE would be failing most of the styles. Otherwise, the other browsers shouldn't pose any problem. Bootstrap is easy to use. There are set classes that you can apply and need not worry about them. When you use bootstrap, you can import it in your custom stylesheet and then work on your custom styling. The best option for you would be to write your code in LESS and then compile it along with prefixr (http://prefixr.com). That will solve all your cross-browser issues :)

Twitter bootstrap works great in almost all browsers... You can use bootstrap on your site without worrying about cross browser...
