Default thumbnails

By default, Bootstrap's thumbnails are designed to showcase linked images with minimal required markup.

Highly customizable

With a bit of extra markup, it's possible to add any kind of HTML content like headings, paragraphs, or buttons into thumbnails.

  Thumbnail label

  Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.

Why use thumbnails

Thumbnails (previously .media-grid up until v1.4) are great for grids of photos or videos, image search results, retail products, portfolios, and much more. They can be links or static content.

Simple, flexible markup

Thumbnail markup is simple—a ul with any number of li elements is all that is required. It's also super flexible, allowing for any type of content with just a bit more markup to wrap your contents.

Uses grid column sizes

Lastly, the thumbnails component uses existing grid system classes—like .span2 or .span3—for control of thumbnail dimensions.

The markup

As mentioned previously, the required markup for thumbnails is light and straightforward. Here's a look at the default setup for linked images:

<ul class="thumbnails">
  <li class="span3">
    <a href="#" class="thumbnail">
      <img src="http://placehold.it/210x150" alt="">
    </a>
  </li>
  ...
</ul>

For custom HTML content in thumbnails, the markup changes slightly. To allow block level content anywhere, we swap the <a> for a <div> like so:

<ul class="thumbnails">
  <li class="span3">
    <div class="thumbnail">
      <img src="http://placehold.it/210x150" alt="">
      <h5>Thumbnail label</h5>
      <p>Thumbnail caption right here...</p>
    </div>
  </li>
  ...
</ul>

Explore all your options with the various grid classes available to you. You can also mix and match different sizes.

What is it

Our navbar is a fixed bar that houses a website’s logo or name, primary navigation, and search form.

Customizable

All elements within, and the entire navbar as well, are optional. You can choose to include a logo/name, nav, search, and a secondary nav—or any combination of that.

Dropdowns included

As part of the main navigation, we’ve included the ability for you to add dropdowns to your nav. Check out the secondary nav above (right aligned) to see how it’s done. Dropdowns <li> tags also support .active for showing current page selection.

Tabs and pills

Create simple secondary navigation with a <ul>. Swap between tabs or pills by adding the appropriate class.

Great for sub-sections of content like our account settings pages and user timelines for toggling between pages of like content. Available in tabbed or pill styles.

Basic tabs example

Tabs can be used as regular navigation (loading external pages in the same tab) or as tabbable content areas for swapping out panes of content. We have a tabs plugin that can be used to integrate the latter.

• Home
• Profile
• Messages
• Settings
• Contact
• Dropdown
  • Secondary link
  • Something else here
  • Another link

<ul class="tabs">
  <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

Tabbable tabs

As mentioned above, you can bring your tabs to life with a simple plugin. Here we have integrated all four variations of the tabs—default (top), right, bottom, left—with example tab areas.

In addition to tabs, we have pills! Though a bit more limited in functionality, they share much of the same markup.

Basic pills example

• Home
• Profile
• Messages
• Settings
• Contact

<ul class="pills">
  <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

Vertical pill nav

With a pill-style nav, you can also stack the list items to have a simple sidebar. We don't offer left or right aligned versions here because that's easy enough to customize based on your own needs

• Home
• Profile
• Messages
• Settings
• Contact

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumb navigation is used as a way to show users where they are within an app or a site, but not for primary navigation.

• Home

• Home /
• Middle page

• Home /
• Middle page /
• Another one

• Home /
• Middle page /
• Another one /
• You are here

<ul class="breadcrumb">
  <li><a href="#">Home</a> <span class="divider">/</span></li>
  <li><a href="#">Middle page</a> <span class="divider">/</span></li>
  <li><a href="#">Another one</a> <span class="divider">/</span></li>
  <li class="active">You are here</li>
</ul>

Pagination

Ultra simplistic and minimally styled pagination inspired by Rdio. The large block is hard to miss, easily scalable, and provides large click areas.

<div class="pagination">
  <ul>
    <li class="prev disabled"><a href="#">&larr; Previous</a></li>
    <li class="active"><a href="#">1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">5</a></li>
    <li class="next"><a href="#">Next &rarr;</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

Basic alerts

.alert-message

One-line messages for highlighting the failure, possible failure, or success of an action. Particularly useful for forms.

Example code

<div class="alert-message warning">
  <a class="close" href="#">×</a>
  <p><strong>Holy guacamole!</strong> Best check yo self, you’re not looking too good.</p>
</div>

Block messages

<div class="alert-message block-message">

For messages that require a bit of explanation, we have paragraph style alerts. These are perfect for bubbling up longer error messages, warning a user of a pending action, or just presenting information for more emphasis on the page.

Example code

<div class="alert-message block-message warning">
  <a class="close" href="#">×</a>
  <p><strong>Holy guacamole! This is a warning!</strong> Best check yo self, you’re not looking too good. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur et.</p>
  <div class="alert-actions">
    <a class="btn small" href="#">Take this action</a> <a class="btn small" href="#">Or do this</a>
  </div>
</div>

Modals

Modals—dialogs or lightboxes—are great for contextual actions in situations where it’s important that the background context be maintained.
