#jaime, hi, I'm part of Brian's team, appreciate the help (How much padding does the Banno plugin framework use in mobile views?). There are some inconsistencies with the docs and our tests. We did the test on an Iphone 12 Pro Max, which is a pretty big phone.
Our widgets have the following specs - Minimum height: 400px Maximum height: 400px Supported widths: 264px to 336px Recommended width for best result: 300px
We're seeing the following in our tests, which also forces padding around the card faces
Our plugin
The JH/Banno docs are showing a full-width widget, which isn't replicated
Banno's docs
Appreciate any help and guidance.
The plugin content does get the full width of the Card Face, although you would have to be careful with any margins set on your content.
You can set a background color (e.g. something like neon green or hot pink) to verify.
Notably, that is in relation to the Card Face width, not to be confused with the device's screen width or other widths.

hoping someone can shed some light - I have isotoped items that have fixed column widths which are toggled not by viewport width but by user interaction.
The fixed image widths are 105px, 160px, 333px and 1200px.
I would like to use picture srcsets and get the source to update based on the images width and not the viewports. Currently i'm finding it difficult to see if there is a way to trigger this or if I should just be doing this via javascript instead.
I have the picture srcsets working fine in regards to viewport but when a column is only 105px and 5 - 12 columns of that width may fit on screen its loading in 1200px wide images due to the viewport width which isn't the functionality I'm wanting and not providing and of the savings I would hope.
I've searched up and down and can't really find much to point me in the correct direction. Any help greatly appreciated.
Srcset and picture element only work with resolution based media queries, or simple 1x, 2x etc descriptors. You can't control which src gets loaded, based on container width. You would have to use JavaScript here, or some other CSS class/method.
As described in the W3C Documentation regarding for responsive images and srcset in particular, all the considerations are done in a similar fashion to media queries, which are based on the viewport width only.
Ok. Here is the thing. Like we can use width:100% of an element and it'll take the full width of its container. How can we do that in case of fonts?
I have tried using 100% or em etc but that's not working.
Let me explain the actual problem. Here are three versions of a div. Please see the images.
1- Desktop
2- Android
3- iPhone
You can see that the text "Quote and Buy Online" is in the same line for Desktop and Android (which is the requirement) while it is in two lines in iPhone. Whereas the font-size is the same for all three. Now, that's the problem.
One way is that I reduce the size of the font until the problem gets solved for iPhone but it would then be much smaller for Desktop and Android.
If somehow, I tell the font to adjust its size according to its containing div then the problem will be solved.
Please note that I have checked the solution here but It says it won't be dynamic. So looking for a better alternative.
Here is the link where you can find the form.
This is not possible with pure CSS. You have 4 options:
1) Define the font size for certain breakpoints, to fill up as much as the container as possible, cross browser/platform.
2) Use Viewport Percentage Units: vw as described in this SO answer
3) Use a JS library to fill the text of the parent container, eg:
BigText
FitText
4) Apply a font size that fits the container well, maybe tweak it after 600px +; and live with the fact the font won't fit exactly 100% of the container.
I recommend no.4 for your specific requirment - there will be no JS dependancy, it's simplest to apply and it won't make that much of a difference for your requirement. Maybe the form would look better if you align the text to the left as well. I think no1 and 2 are a bit of an overkill.
You may want to look at using media queries to hit this across the device spectrum. One for iPhone portrait is below, but you will likely have a few to align for all devices.
#media screen and (max-width: 320px) {
.selector { font-size: 10px; }
}
.selector = your class or id of the button or any other html selector or tag.
I personally would go with a screen based fixed figure as you know it is going to render exactly over a scaling method. my 2c worth.

I'm not even talking about mobile (just yet), I set widths and heights that are based on the pixel count of my laptop's display, but on my desktop 22" monitor, everything's out of place, div lines are too short (larger display, so it makes sense), etc.
I'm thinking I should use strictly percents, so instead of "width:200px", it'd be "width:64%", would that be a good solution?
Also, I see some websites, they adjust the content when you shrink the browser window (looks like an effect of "margin:0 auto", just keeping things centered), but also, when the width gets small enough, it just stops adjusting, it stops because moving any more and the content will start moving to lines below it in order to fit... How can I get this same effect?
Thanks!
This is done by making your site "responsive" which basically means that you use a grid system that scales and the screen size changes.
There are a couple of frameworks out there that help with this. My favorite is Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com/) but there are others like bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com/)
There is a ton of documentation on these sites you should focus on the grid sections:
http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/grid.html
Hope that helps.
There are websites using the responsive layout. Means you have orientations/everything fixed for the mobile screens, tablets as well as full size pc/laptop screens.
They make use of a grid system.
Common ones are
Twitter Bootstrap (Two different versions having different UI and
approaches are available at http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/ and
http://getbootstrap.com/) This one's my favourite as its too easy to
use
Zurb Foundation
Skeleton
html5 Boilerplate
Sprout Core
Less Framework
You may pick any one you like. They all provide a basic css and javascript to handle things out nicely, a wireframe of a complete website is provided and an extremely well documented manual is available on their websites. Its actually fun and makes work faster.
Cheers!
One useful and recommanded unit is the viewport percentage length that will adjust accordingly.
for example to get a div the size of the window and another div on top of the first one:
<div id='one-page'></div>
<div id='inside'></div>
#one-page{
width:100vw;
height:100vh;
background:red;
position:relative;
}
#inside{
width:10vw;
height:10vh;
background:black;
position:absolute;
top:10vh;
left:20vw;
}

When i make websites, it fits on my screen, but when i open the website on another screen, it doesn't work correctly (The divs overlaps eachother). It's the same when i resize the window. I saw a couple of posts about this, but still, no good answer. I tried making a container to put them all in. But it's still the same.
Any answers, why this is happening?
Container CSS code:
#container
{
width: 960px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
I put it into HTML like this:
<div id="container">
Content goes here
</div>
EDIT: Guys, i don't think you understand me. When i'm on another screen resolution, all the divs moves. I think everything moves, if i'm not completely wrong. I would like to know the real way of doing this. What do you do?

FINAL EDIT: I fixed it with the percentage. It seems to work quite well! Thanks for all your answers! I know this will give me a kind of bad reputation, because i didn't make myself clear enough.
You can use percentages instead of pixel.
#container {
width: 80%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
You can figure out percentages having screen resolution and the size you want using this forumla:
WidthPercentage = ContainerWidth / ScreenWidth * 100
So for your example if your screen resolution is 1360x768:
WidthPercentage = 960 / 1360 * 100 = 70.5%
This is called responsive design.
You can find some guidelines here and some good articles here.
If you don't want to use percentages, you can go with Responsive Design and Media Queries. Basically, you call different CSS rules based on different browser properties (for example: width). See a nice tutorial about this here (you can also see it in action).
Quote:
The second part of responsive design is CSS3 media queries, which currently enjoy decent support across many modern browsers. If you’re not familiar with CSS3 media queries, they basically allow you to gather data about the site visitor and use it to conditionally apply CSS styles. For our purposes, we’re primarily interested in the min-width media feature, which allows us to apply specific CSS styles if the browser window drops below a particular width that we can specify
You've set your <div> (<div id="container">) to be 960 pixels wide. If you view the page in a browser window that's less than 960 pixels wide, then the <div> won't fit in it.
Your question isn't very clear. You've said "when i open the website on another screen, it doesn't work correctly", but you haven't said how it doesn't work. To get help, you need to describe the following three things with enough detail:
What you've done (e.g. what code you've written, what steps you're taking to run that code)
What results you expect from what you've done
What results you're actually getting
Sorry if this post is too many of question, but because i weak in web design but i want to do these effect in my website, could you guy please let me know on how to do it ?
First...Please visit this site
http://net.tutsplus.com/
Question 1 : May i know how could i do the effect of resizing in Asp MVC 3 ?
when our site got a sidebar user screen size less than 1280x800, it will display single column of sidebar. When user screen size larger than 1280x800, it will display two column of sidebar.
Question 2 : when the screen size is too small, left side of site will display only about 20px of margin. All the image and background will hidden. exact like when you re-size your browser when opening nettuts site.
The best way to adjust the layout of a page with respect to the size of the viewport that it is being displayed on is with CSS Media queries. Before you do anything, read this:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/
It's practically the bible on the subject.
After that, give the specs a read:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/
The less CSS framework comes with a set of useful media queries and is something I use as a very simple framework:
http://lessframework.com/
It depends of the positioning atribute: absolute, relative or fixed..
Try to use percentage rather than an absolute, relative or fixed value.
Otherwise try to control the left-margin, right-margin, top and bottom and test, test and more test until it get what you expect.
I do this myself all the time, and always work.
Answer to Question 1
This is not ASP but JavaScript. Basically you will need a script that is launched each time you resize the browser. It should then check the new viewport width and modify some of the CSS for the sidebar
