How to dynamically change element alignment?

What I am trying to do:
I am creating a page footer using html, css, and bootstrap. When the page is open on a desktop, it looks like this (which is what I want):
But when the web page reaches the minimum width, it looks like this:
However, I would like it to look something like this when the web page has been decreased to the minimum width:
Problem/ What I tried:
So, I am have trouble with two things.
Problem 1: I can't seem to find a solution where I can get both the images and the text to center once there is no more room for them to be side by side.
Problem 2: I can't find a solution where I keep the size of the black jumbotron the same and that keeps the text from flowing out the bottom of it.
I tried creating a table (with text in place of the images to test it). I thought if I put the elements in a table with the images centered in the far left column and the text centered in the far left column, then, when the table got small enough, the columns would stack and the elements would be centered. But I couldn't get that to work.
I also tried adding two smaller jumbotrons within the larger one. One that holds the images and another that holds the text. But I still couldn't get the images to center properly, and there is still an issue with the text flowing out the bottom of the black jumbotron.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I do what I am trying to do using CSS and HTML? If Javascript is the only solution, I don't mind trying that, I just don't use it much.
Code:
Here is my HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class = "grid">
<div class="row">
<div class="jumbotron" id="footerJumbotron">
<img src="ContactImages\facebookLogo.png" id="facebookLogo">
<img src="ContactImages\twitterLogo.png" id="twitterLogo">
<img src="ContactImages\youtubeLogo.png" id="youtubeLogo">
<p id="footerFont">© 2016 Company Name. All Rights Reserved.<br> Built & Managed by Company Name</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is my CSS:
#facebookLogo{
float:left;
width:30px;
height:30px;
margin:5px;
}
#twitterLogo{
float:left;
width:40px;
height:30px;
margin:5px;
}
#youtubeLogo{
float:left;
width:40px;
height:25px;
margin:5px;
}
#footerFont{
float:right;
color:white;
font-size:10px;
padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px; text-align:right;
}
#footerJumbotron{
background-color:black;border-radius: 0 !important;
height:100px !important;padding-top:30px;
}

You can do this with bootstrap grid and media queries DEMO
#media(min-width: 768px) {
.custom-row p {
text-align: right;
}
}
#media(max-width: 768px) {
.custom-row {
text-align: center;
}
}

something i sorted out that can then be worked on.

without a frame work like bootstrap etc.

Inside jumbotron, create another element contentWrapper and put contents inside then add a media query for it. You need to set width and margin: auto to make it centered.
Try resizing the window width to below 800 pixels, and you will see the contents are aligned center.
#facebookLogo{
float:left;
width:30px;
height:30px;
margin:5px;
}
#twitterLogo{

height:100px !important;padding-top:30px;
}
#media (max-width: 800px) {
.contentWrapper{
width: 400px;
margin: auto;
}
}

In Bootstrap 4 you can just use the responsive alignment classes, something like text-xs-center text-sm-left, Also your code is highly repetitive, consider something like this:
#footerJumbotron img {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
margin: 5px;
}
#footerFont {
color: white;
font-size: 10px;
}
#footerJumbotron {
background-color: black;
border-radius: 0 !important;
text-align: center;
}

How to slide to another html page in Javascript?

I'm trying to make a web page to time a race and I had the idea to make the html page with the timer slide from the right with hitting a button
here's the html of the main menu:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<body style="background:#f2f2f2;">
<div id="options" style="background:#0c0c0c; float:right;">
<div class="menu" onclick="openChronometre()" ></div>
</div>
</body>
here's a js fiddle of the main menu (without images)
here's a js fiddle of the timer (the layout isn't that great, still WIP)
when hitting the black bar in the main menu, the entire page html page for the timer should come from the right, is there any way to do that?

Sorry I didn't do the animation part. But as a basic idea...
You're probably better off keeping the timer as a div on the main menu page.
If it has to be another page then use an iframe or ajax to load the contents to the div I guess.
Either way it should be contained in the element you're clicking on. Then you can use some JavaScript to modify the CSS and show it/slide it on the page. The jQuery library has a lot of animation/slide functions for example.
I basically combined your 2 fiddles into one and added:
#options {position: absolute; left: 90%; }
and
onclick="opts = document.getElementById('options'); if (opts.style.left == '0px') { opts.style.left = '90%'; } else { opts.style.left = '0px';}"
html {
overflow: hidden;
}
body {
font-family: 'Century Gothic';
font-size: 34px;
}
#options {
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 1px;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-right: -8px;
height: 450px;
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
left: 90%;
}
#Chrono1,
#Chrono2 {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #2d2d2d;
box-shadow: 0 0 4px 0 #0c0c0c;
padding: 6px 20px;
}
#Panel1,
#Panel2 {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #2d2d2d;
box-shadow: 0 0 4px 0 #0c0c0c;
width: 400px;
height: 450px;
}
#Panel1:hover,
#Panel2:hover {
transition: opacity 0.5s;
-webkit-animation: PanelSlide 2s;
/* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
animation: PanelSlide 2s;
/* IE */
}
<body style="background:#f2f2f2;">
<div id="options" style="background-color: #262626; font-family: Century Gothic; color: #8c8c8c;" onclick="opts = document.getElementById('options');
if (opts.style.left == '0px') {
opts.style.left = '90%';
} else {
opts.style.left = '0px';
}
">
<div id="Title" style="font-size: 55px; text-align: center; margin-top: 3%">Timer</div>
<div id="Temps" style="text-align: center; font-size: 30px; margin: 7%;">
<div id="Chrono1" style="display: inline-block; margin-right: 540px; position:relative;">
00:00:00
</div>
<div id="Chrono2" style="display: inline-block; position:relative;">
00:00:00
</div>
</div>
<div id="Panels" style="text-align: center; font-size: 30px; margin-top: -5%;">
<div id="Panel1" style="display: inline-block; position:relative; margin-right: 300px; opacity: 0;">
</div>
<div id="Panel2" style="display: inline-block; position:relative; opacity: 0;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Just have (or load) the chronometre page in a div that is outside of the visibility, then use the animations to slide it in:
#next_page {
position:fixed;
top:0px;
left:100%;
z-index:222;
height:100%;
width:100%;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
}
And then with JS (I used jQuery for convenience):
function openChronometre(){
$("#next_page").stop(0,0).animate(
{ left: 0 },
1000
);
}
You can see it working here: http://jsfiddle.net/1uggfw32/5/ (I made the options as a green box so you can click on them).

Banner ad with 'slidedown' function working in my jsfiddle but not real environment

I am currently working with a banner ad and the jquery slidedown function.
My desired goal is to simply have the banner slide down after several seconds and cover up the header of my page, until the user either completes the form (or clicks the "x", which I haven't placed yet.
I got it working just fine within the jsfiddle environment, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why it will not "slide down" in my live environment.
Here is my jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tXumG/13/.
Here is the banner on my live page: http://online.saintleo.edu/the-saint-leo-experience/faculty-spotlights.aspx
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you very much.

I suggest to use Css Transitions
And Then use jquery to add the class to element:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.blog-subscribe-hidden').addClass('animated');
});

CSS window width resize issues

I am having problems with some content not fixed into one place when I resize the window on a browser, I basically have 3 div id box elements placed next to each other.
They are positioned fine however when I resize the screen they seem to fall below one another.
I have min-width: 947px; in the body of the CSS however this does not do anything.
HTML:
<div id ="featured1">
</div>
<div id ="featured3">
</div>
<div id ="featured2">
</div>
CSS:
#featured1{
float:left;
font-family: 'Lobster13Regular';
font-size:35px;
color:#9c5959;
margin-top:20px;
margin-left:150px;
border:1px solid black;
width:250px;
height:150px;
}
#featured2 {
display: inline-block;
font-family: 'Lobster13Regular';
font-size:35px;
color:#9c5959;
margin-top:20px;
border:1px solid black;
width:250px;
height:150px;
}
#featured3 {
float:right;
font-family: 'Lobster13Regular';
font-size:35px;
color:#9c5959;
margin-top:20px;
border:1px solid black;
width:250px;
height:150px;
margin-right:200px;
}
For some reason when I try resizing the screen with this code the elements fall below each other, I am looking for the content to completely remain the same and not resize at all.

Here is the working example: jsFiddle link
use
display: inline-block;
on all 3 divs, then they wont go down.
Note: this property will not work on IE7 and smaller versions.
You have given your body a min-width:947px but the actual width occupied by all divs including the margin and borders, etc is 1150px.
Thats why its breaking.
Please add vertical-align: top; property on all the divs

This should help. FYI. When writing in CSS make sure you minify the code. Google developer has a great section on this (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service/MinifyCSS).
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="featured1">
Featured 1
</div>
<div id="featured2">
Featured 2
</div>
<div id="featured3">
Featured 3
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#container {
position: absolute;
width: 836px;
height: 190px;
}
#featured1, #featured2, #featured3 {
position: relative;
font-family: 'Lobster13Regular';
font-size: 35px;
float: left;
left: 20px;
top: 20px;
width: 250px;
height: 150px;
border: 1px solid #000;
overflow: hidden; /*Remove if you are not going to overflow text in each element*/
}
#featured2, #featured3 {
margin-left: 20px;
}

Show hidden content at bottom of page using tabs on click

So I have a set of 4 divs at the bottom of my page. I intend for the top of these divs to look like tabs, and when the div (tab) is clicked on, that div's height will increase and thus appear like a hidden page is rising from the bottom of the window.
Here is my code so far:
---Css---
tab1 {
float: left;
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
position: absolute;
left: 300px;
bottom: 0px;
clear:both;
}
tab2 {
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
background: green;
position: absolute;
left: 400px;
bottom: 0px;
}
tab3 {
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
background: red;
position: absolute;
left: 500px;
bottom: 0px;
}
tab4 {
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
background: green;
position: absolute;
left: 600px;
bottom: 0px;
}
---HTML---
<tab1></tab1>
<tab2></tab2>
<tab3></tab3>
<tab4></tab4>
---JavaScript---
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$('tab1').toggle(function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '500px'},{speed:10,});
}, function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '100px'},{speed:10, });
});
$('tab2').toggle(function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '500px'},{speed:10});
}, function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '100px'}, {speed:10});
});
$('tab3').toggle(function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '500px'},{speed:10,});
}, function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '100px'},{speed:10, });
});
$('tab4').toggle(function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '500px'},{speed:10});
}, function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '100px'}, {speed:10});
});
Here is a jsfiddle to demonstrate what I have http://jsfiddle.net/tkTJr/
I want to allow each div to be 100% of the window width but still enable the others to be clicked. At the moment if I did that I can only click on the one with the lowest z-index because they are overlapping. I was thinking of making the top of each div stick out like a tab to differentiate one from another. Any help in doing so?
Many thanks, I hope some one will know the solution to this problem.

I tried to achieve this using two approaches:
Approach #1: Javascript/jQuery
I went ahead and added functionality that closes the 'active' tab as I call it if the user clicks off of the tab's content or tab. Essentially this just toggles the bottom position of the tab and shows/hides (by way of sliding up/down) each time a user clicks a tab. Here is a live demo of that. If you're not looking to have the added functionality, this fiddle will do just fine for you
Here is the relevant code for the version with increased functionality:
<script> // The most important section for you
$('.tab').click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation(); // allows the :not to function in the next .click function
var toggleBot = $(this).css('bottom') == "400px" ? "0px" : "400px";
// ^^ Clever way of toggling between two values
$(this).animate({
'bottom': toggleBot // Toggle the value
});
var number = $(this).attr('class').split(' ')[1]; // Get the number to relate to the content
if ($('.active')[0] && number != $('.active').attr('class').split(' ')[1]) {
// This part makes only one content stay open at a time
var number2 = $('.active').attr('class').split(' ')[1];
var toggleBot2 = $('.tab.' + number2).css('bottom') == "0px" ? "400px" : "0px";
$('.tab.' + number2).animate({
'bottom': toggleBot2
});
$('.content.' + number2).slideToggle().toggleClass('active');
}
$('.content.' + number).slideToggle().toggleClass('active');
});
$('.content').click(function(e) { // Again, allows the :not to function correctly below
e.stopPropagation();
});
$('body:not(.tab, .content)').click(function() {
// Allows the 'active' tab to be closed when the anything but a tab/content is clicked
var number2 = $('.active').attr('class').split(' ')[1];
$('.tab.' + number2).animate({
'bottom': '0'
});
$('.content.' + number2).slideToggle().toggleClass('active');
});
</script>
<style>
div {
text-align:center;
}
.tab {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
position: absolute; /* !!Important for functionality of tab!! */
bottom: 0px; /* !!Important for functionality of tab!! */
z-index:2;
}
.tab.one {
background: red;
left:10%;
}
.tab.two {
background: blue;
left:30%;
}
.tab.three {
background: yellow;
left:50%;
}
.tab.four {

}
.content {
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
position:absolute; /* !!Important for functionality of content!! */
display:none; /* !!Important for functionality of content!! */
bottom:0; /* !!Important for functionality of content!! */
left:0px;
background:black;
color:white;
height:400px;
width:100%;
z-index:1;
}
/* Just to add some content */
#mainContent {
position:relative;
width:25%;
height:75%;
clear:both;
}
</style>
<html> <!-- Note: they are all on the same level -->
<body>
<div id='#mainContent' style='position:relative; width:75%; height:75%; left:12.5%;'>Zombie ipsum content</div>
<div class='tab one'>Tab 1</div>
<div class='content one'>Content 1!</div>
<div class='tab two'>Tab 2</div>
<div class='content two'>Content 2!</div>
<div class='tab three'>Tab 3</div>
<div class='content three'>Content 3!</div>
<div class='tab four'>Tab 4</div>
<div class='content four'>Content 4!</div>
</body>
</html>
Approach #2: CSS
Before I had toggled width/height with CSS based on <input>s and <label>s. This time I decided to try to make the same tabs using only CSS, so here is my attempt. Essentially it puts a link around the tab and animates it up when clicked and also animates the content's height when clicked. It took a lot less fiddling to complete and I always love complete CSS projects <3 However this approach does not quite achieve the same functionality as the jQuery approach, which is what I was afraid of and made me sad :( The problem is described below in 'Functionality note'
Here is the relevant code for a CSS only approach:
//No javascript, Yay!
<style>
div {
text-align:center;
}
.tab {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
text-align:center;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
color:black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
z-index:2;
}
.tab.one {
background: red;
left:10%;
}
.tab.two {
background: blue;
left:30%;
}
.tab.three {
background: yellow;
left:50%;
}
.tab.four {
background:green;
left:70%;
}
#mainContent {
position:relative;
width:25%;
height:75%;
clear:both;
}
#wrapper { /* Allows the tabs to be at the bottom */
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
text-decoration: none;
}
.content {
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
left:0px;
background:black;
color:white;
height:0px;
width:100%;
z-index:1;
-webkit-transition:all 1s ease;
-moz-transition:all 1s ease;
-ms-transition:all 1s ease;
}
.hideUp {
display:block;
position:relative;
-webkit-transition:all 1s ease;
-moz-transition:all 1s ease;
-ms-transition:all 1s ease;
}
.hideUp:focus {

Usage note: The jQuery approach requires devices be able to run jQuery (of course) and the CSS approach requires that users be on "modern" browsers that allow CSS3 transitions. I didn't include all of the browser tags in my CSS, just the ones for webkit, mozilla, and IE.
Functionality note: The CSS approach I used does not allow user to click the tab to 'close' the content, they must click anywhere else. It also allows the tab to close when the content is clicked, so unless someone finds a work around for it it's only functional for displaying static content like images, text, etc.
One could change the CSS demo to only open/close when the tab itself is clicked by using the checkbox-hack, allowing the content to be selected and such
If you'd like any part of it explained further let me know. I hope I helped!
