# --description--
Bootstrap uses a responsive 12-column grid system, which makes it easy to put elements into rows and specify each element's relative width. Most of Bootstrap's classes can be applied to a `div` element.
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
Bootstrap has different column width attributes that it uses depending on how wide the user's screen is. For example, phones have narrow screens, and laptops have wider screens.
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
Take for example Bootstrap's `col-md-*` class. Here, `md` means medium, and `*` is a number specifying how many columns wide the element should be. In this case, the column width of an element on a medium-sized screen, such as a laptop, is being specified.
In the Cat Photo App that we're building, we'll use `col-xs-*` , where `xs` means extra small (like an extra-small mobile phone screen), and `*` is the number of columns specifying how many columns wide the element should be.
Put the `Like` , `Info` and `Delete` buttons side-by-side by nesting all three of them within one `<div class="row">` element, then each of them within a `<div class="col-xs-4">` element.
The `row` class is applied to a `div` , and the buttons themselves can be nested within it.
# --hints--
Your buttons should all be nested within the same `div` element with the class `row` .
```js
assert($('div.row:has(button)').length > 0);
```
Each of your Bootstrap buttons should be nested within its own `div` element with the class `col-xs-4` .
```js
assert($('div.col-xs-4:has(button)').length > 2);

```

Each of your `button` elements should have a closing tag.
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
assert(
code.match(/< \/button > /g) &&
code.match(/< button / g ) & &
code.match(/< \/button > /g).length === code.match(/< button / g ). length
);
```
Each of your `div` elements should have a closing tag.
```js
assert(
code.match(/< \/div > /g) &&
code.match(/< div / g ) & &
code.match(/< \/div > /g).length === code.match(/< div / g ). length
);
```
