Modifying BootStrap Tab Control for Extra Small Device

Posted on: 2014-03-27

If you are using BootStrap and the Tab control you may have a weird rendering for Extra Small Device (under 768 pixel).

 /*For smaller device, tab control should not appear*/ 
 @media (max-width: 767px) { 
  .nav-tabs > li { 
    float:none; border:1px solid #dddddd; 
  } 
  .nav-tabs > li.active > a{ border:none; } 
  .nav > li > a:hover, .nav > li > a:focus, .nav > li > a:hover, .nav > li > a:focus, .nav-tabs > li.active > a, .nav-tabs > li.active > a:hover, .nav-tabs > li.active > a:focus { background:none; border:none; } 
} 

The end result is much better than the default behavior and the solution is simple and clean. I hope that it helps someone.
