I'm using bootstrap to style the page, using standard bootstrap classes like container, row, col-sm-offset-n (to get appropriate spacing). But some of the components look very bad on mobile screen.
I have following bootstrap components on my page
container
|------row
|-----bootstrap panel
|------row
|-----div which holds error messages
|------row
|-----a form having a textarea and a button
|------row
|-----span tag
The website looks good on large screen but on smaller screen the textarea within the form gets to the leftmost side of the mobile screen. I want it to be shown in the middle. Similarly the last span tag gets attached to the leftmost side of the mobile screen. I want it to be shown in the middle.
Here is what is looks like on bigger and smaller screens respectively.
Larger Screens
Smaller Screens
You can see the problem here screen size
Below is the markup I used

After comments below added bootstrap classes for small screens col-xs and col-sm
Now it looks as this
Just copy and replace below class in your textarea. Refer below image to understand how column class works.
col-sm-offset-4 col-xs-12 col-sm-5
For spacing problem in mobile view you need to use media query, See the below code. You can add your custom class also for button.
@media (max-width: 768px){
.btn-primary{
margin-top: 2rem;
margin-bottom: 2rem;
}
}
