twitter-bootstrap - Can you use Panels in Bootstrap 2.3

Question

Is there any easy way of using bootstrap 3 panels within bootstrap 2.3. From what I can see the panels styling is a new feature within BS 3.

Answer 1

For this your bootstrap.css code must have the styling of panels. So that you have to paste the below styles into your bootstrap.css/bootstrap.min.css file. If you are not interested in changing the core files, you can add it in your css files. you can follow the codes in http://getbootstrap.com/components/#panels after doing this.

.panel {
  padding: 15px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border: 1px solid #dddddd;
  border-radius: 4px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);

Answer 2

If you plan to put a table inside the panel, you'll want to also add

.panel>.table, .panel>.table-responsive>.table {
      margin-bottom: 0;
}
