bootstrap - move text over on portrait mobile device

How do I move "TAP to Call...." which appears at the bottom of the screen on a mobile device over to the right more but only when viewing portrait orientation? It looks fine in landscape on a phone.

I'd remove this
img.phone_icon {
padding-right: 30px;
}

Add this
. clickphone {
min-width:120px
}

And change your tap to call div to 7 cols
<div class="col-xs-7 clicktocall">

Gary

I would probably add text-align: right; to the .clickphone class above as well to main a consistent space between the phone and text
Or better still just put the phone and text in one div with the anchor - doesn't make sense to say Tap here and then they have to tap the phone...

would i also need to change the <div class="col-xs-4 clickphone"> to <div class="col-xs-5 clickphone"> so the "7" and the "5" equal 12?

Gary

No, not necessary, but see my comment just above, in case you missed it.

also, do you think it is confusing on the "tap to call" to have the phone icon there. If they tap the phone, nothing happens. we put it there to draw attention to the tap to call feature. thoughts?

Gary

See above, it they click Tap here nothing happens ;o)

if you hit the phone number itself (which is pretty small), it auto dials. maybe i should just have the phone number in big numbers?

p.s. isn't the grid about everything adding up to 12. don't get why i don't have to change the
<div class="col-xs-4 clickphone"> to <div class="col-xs-5 clickphone"> so the "7" and the "5" equal 12?

Cathal,

You seem to know bootstrap forwards and backwards. Is there a site you can recommend I go to so I can learn?

Gary

Don't know, I've only ever referenced http://getbootstrap.com/ for the correct classes to use.

I would say spend a day getting your head around how the grid system works - this is the core of Bootstrap and what it really is all about - everything else is just icing. I don't bother going out of my way to remember all the different button classes for example.

Play around with the sizing at different screens size, learn the difference between what lg, md, sm and xs is - commit this to memory and you know Bootstrap.
Then when you need a bit of extra styling just check the site for it.

You can search online for tutorials but a lot of them are for Bootstrap 2 which means they are no use since the CSS changed a lot in v3.
