        height: 176px;
        text-align: center;

    }



    </style>

I converted a tutorial for a hover caption over to bootstrap. The problem is the grid style portfolio is responsive and I can't seem to get the caption to be responsive. I tried setting the height and width to 100% but that did not work? Any tips?

Velibor Nikolic Hi there.
You are usingdiv in a ul > li Which is not probably a good idea.
Have a look at this link here.

Try doing something like this for what you are looking to do with the Caption. Have a look at this Fiddle for a working sample.

This is fully responsive, both image and caption.
I use the Bootstrap class of col-xs-12 for the width and the caption class uses height:100% .

I reduced someclasses and added the shaded background to the caption class, the blur class is not needed.

Here is a sample of one image block with the caption.

<div class="col-sm-4 col-xs-12 clear-L-R">
     <img src="http://lorempixel.com/640/640/nature" class="img-responsive clear-L-R" alt="">
     <div class="col-xs-12 caption caption-text">
          <h1>Amazing Caption</h1>
          <p>Whatever It Is - Always Awesome</p>
      </div>
</div>

Hi Velibor, You are welcome. Did you need it to have the ul>li ? if so it can be done using the ul>li without the div's if you really need it this way. I can do it this way if you need it or just want to see it that way. — AngularJR, Sep 26 '15 at 23:21
