I've got a page with a main content area and a fixed-width sidebar (https://jsfiddle.net/vesg7wm0/). I'd like to populate a section of the sidebar and a section of the main content area with the same responsive HTML (maybe not forever, but at least until I decide where I want to put it). The problem, though, is that Bootstrap seems to decide which sizing (col-md-* vs. col-sm-*) to use based on screen size, not on div size. This means that the main content and the sidebar will always use the same layout.
Is there a way to force the html in the sidebar, which is fixed at 300px, to use the col-sm-* / col-xs-* layout?
I think iframes are a possible solution (https://jsfiddle.net/kwzcL8y6/1/), but that seems to have a host of its own formatting issues, plus I would have to move that content out to its own page (which, y'know, maybe I should do anyway).
So, other than iframes, can you make HTML be responsive to its parent div, and not to the total screen size? Or is it iframes or nothing?
Thanks!
