zurb foundation is it possible to have full row width

Question

I\'m using foundation 3 to build a responsive website but I want to have the Footer and Navigation background width to occupy the entire width? I have named my rows as

Answer 1

I know that there are already many answers, but I think I have something new to add in this topic if someone is using Foundation 5 and stumbled upon this question (like me).

As Foundation is using REM units, it would be best to alter .row class using them and by adding extra class, so you can have only selected rows full-width. For example by using .full class:

.row.full {
    max-width: 80rem;  /* about 90rem should give you almost full screen width */
}

You can see that it is used like this even in documentation page of Zurb Foundation (they altered .row class, though): http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/ (just look into page source code)

Answer 2

Use "Section" as in:

<section>
  <div class="row">
   <div class="small-12 columns">
   </div>
  </div>
</section>

Then, assign an ID to the section and use that for your background.

Answer 3

You really would want to keep the row class otherwise you lose a lot of the power of the grid system. Why not change the setting for $rowWidth from 1000 (default) to 100%. This can be found in the file foundation_and_overrides.scss

Answer 4

What I have been doing is to add a custom class so that I can chain it with .row and override the max-width setting.

<div class="row full-width"></div>

.row.full-width {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 100%; 
}

I put width in here too to cover bases, but it is already declared in foundation.css so you can just omit it.

Answer 5

If you're using Zurb Foundation Framework, simply remove the row class and wrap the element in a class container that is 100% width. Now you probably want to center the stuff, use class centered like this:

<div class="container navigation">
    <div class="centered">
        Some navigation stuff
    </div>
</div>

Answer 6

I completely disagree with the answer. You shouldn't have to use !important

Please refer to my article and demo at http://edcharbeneau.github.com/FoundationSinglePageRWD/

You should be able to get what you need from there. The demo is for 2.2 but is very similar in function to v3.
