Add new row and changing column classes on resize

Question

I am making a site that has two blockquotes on the far right. I am using Bootstraps 3.0 and the quotes are in the same row as a block of description text about the company.

When I re-size the screen to less than 768px the quotes are cleared of the grid and fill up the full width of the screen. I would like to use jQuery to close the row with the description and add a new row for the quotes for mobile screens, then remove the .col-md-3 class and change it to .col-sm-6 (or col-xs-6) for both quote divs, each having an id of #quote1 and #quote2, then close the new row.

This would allow the description text to fill the entire mobile screen while having the quotes in two separate columns in a row below it. Heres the code I have so far...

HTML:

   <div class="row main-desc">
    <div class="col-md-7 col-md-offset-1">
     <h3 class="secondFont txtburgundy">Events/News</h3>
     <p class="firstFont 18pt txtlightburgundy">
     There is currently no new news at this time.
     </p>
     <hr />
     <p class="firstFont 18pt indentText">

                    </div>
            </div>
        </div>
      </div>

jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
        if (window.width() < 768) {
            $('</div><div class="row">').insertBefore('#quote1');
            $('#quote1').addClass('col-sm-6').removeClass('col-md-3');
            $('#quote2').addClass('col-sm-6').removeClass('col-md-3');
            $('</div>').insertBefore('.sticksFooter');

        }
        else {}
    });
$(window).resize(function() {   
        if (window.width() < 768) {
            $('</div><div class="row">').insertBefore('#quote1');
            $('#quote1').addClass('col-sm-6').removeClass('col-md-3');
            $('#quote2').addClass('col-sm-6').removeClass('col-md-3');
            $('</div>').insertBefore('.sticksFooter');

        }
        else {}
    });
</script>

Right now I don't see any classes change or divs added when viewing the site in a browser. If you need me to make a jsFiddle just let me know.

You Don't have to add a new row. In your case you could use something like:

<div class="container">
    <div class="row main-desc">
        <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-7 col-md-offset-1"></div>
       <div id="quote1" class="col-xs-6 col-md-3 quotes">
       <div id="quote2" class="col-xs-6 col-md-3 quotes"></div>
    </div>
</div>

Also take a look at the examples at http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-example-mixed-complete

In your example code you use the medium grid (col-md-*) this grid become horizotal above 991px. Your javascript will be triggered below 768 pixels. In this example you will miss the situation between 768 and 992 pixels (the small grid with col-sm-*).

In my code above i use col-xs, the extra small grid. This grid will never stack. So under the 992px the quote are in a "new" row with 50% width columns.

Update About (your) jQuery

1. window.width() won't work use $(window).width()
2. insertBefore inserts the tags including closing tags so </div><div> won't work or is not intend to
3. when you resize below 768 col-sm-* will not be applied.

Try something like:

$(window).resize(function() 
{  
if ($(window).width() < 768) 
{
    var $foo = $( '<div />' ).addClass('row').insertAfter('.col-md-7')
    .append($('#quote1').addClass('col-xs-6').removeClass('col-md-3'))
    .append($('#quote2').addClass('col-xs-6').removeClass('col-md-3'));
 }
});
