Third time round redoing this because im not really fully able to understand my problem this time round im going to be a bit more detailed.
My problem starts here:
Problem
as I think it shows, you can see the width of the picture is 1920:720p, This is too large on the viewport and I need to scroll left and right to be able to see the rest of the image on the page.
I have tried pretty much everything I've seen in the comments so far, perhaps I tried incorrectly but nothing seemed to fix it, keep in mind my display is 19:10 and is the display used with the m1 macbook. Im not sure the exact resolution or if it matters but I can't for the life of me seem to make this image fit my page, I've tried using:
.(the picture) { width: 100% height: 100% }
And:
.(the picture) { width: 100vw; hight: 100vh; }
And:
.(the picture) { width: 100vmin; height: 100vmax width: 100vmax; height: 100vmin }
And pretty much every combination of those things you could think of and it stays the same resolution and does not ever fit the view port.
Another problem i'm facing is that when I make the window smaller it cuts all the elements that don't fit inside the smaller window.
Thats all I got for now, ill probably add more if I need to later.
Edit1: Keep in mind I did not use vhvw % and vminvmax with only the picture, I tried them with the body element and some other things too.
This is called "Responsiveness".
The tag
Start by adding this meta tag to your head tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
vw and vh
as mentioned by #cloned,
use widht:100% and height:100% to set the size relative to the parent.
and use width:100vw and height:100vh.
vw is view-port, the size relative to the screen. 100vw means 100% of the size of the screen. So if the screen is 1920p in width, the element itself will appear 1920p. If you set it to 10vw, the element itself has a width of 192 pixels.
On a window with 30px width, 10vw is 3px.
Same is for vh but it's for the height.
These guys, vh and vw work completely individually and may create problems on windows with an aspect ratio other than 16:9.
For this we might wanna use v-min or v-max

Extra information
I also use position:fixed when assigned tasks to make the website responsive like this:
.class {
position:fixed;
left:0px;
right:0px;
width:100vw;
height:100vh
}
this makes the entire element cover the page and have it completely centred. You can try zooming out, scrolling (although the scrollbar doesn't appear unless there's more) or resizing it to a completely different dimension. It will look as if it's covering the entire page perfectly.

i've been trying to build this blog to post my stuff.
I've started by taking a free theme and making some modifications to colors, shapes, positions, etc.
And in smaller resolutions such as 1366x768, it looks just fine. But in greater resolutions like 1920x1080, there is just too much empty space on the sides. I'm still an amateur on html and css, so I would really appreciate some tips.
Here's the site, as I couldn't post the code, cause stackoverflow seems to think it is spam.

You can use percentage on width and play around with it.
body {
width: 100%;
}
div {
min-width: 80%;
width: 800px;
}
min-width will make sure your content cover 80% of the body page. And width will make sure your content is 800px. So when the page size hit one of the limit, it will stlye accrodingly.
I've been searching in other questions since this is a pretty common problem but none of them applied to my case.
I'm developing a small web app with React, just to get the basics, and the background img works fine in mobile view (there's a media query that changes it at 480px to a portrait one) it resizes from 480px to 320 and looks good.
The problem is that, at certain heights if you stretch or wide the window the background gets stucked in the middle of it (if you recharge the page it appears as it should, being the window in the same exact place as where the problem occurs).
The img is loaded through CSS in the html, If I remove the background-size property it works as expected in desktop and mobile, but when I cross the 1260px width it doesnt cover the full width.
I have this codesandbox with all my code: https://codesandbox.io/s/stoic-brahmagupta-ro2kb?file=/src/style.css
And I attach an image of the problem. Thanks in advance.
As u r testing this you can see the content of the App is overflowing the html element
I rather use min-height on global elements like body or html than static height to prevent such as cases.
So to fix it you just simply add
html {
height: auto;
min-height: 100vh;
To prevent not overflowing instead of scaling we just add min-height equaly of 100vh (viewport height).
I think it will propably do the job without height: auto; but i like add it to prevent even more edge casing
So, I am making my own responsive website.
My question is - how can I set image width properly?
Image has to be set with min-width and width 100%. I was trying to mix them like that
max-width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
But it didn't work. So i used this code instead
max-width: 100em;
min-width: 100em;
It works fine, even on my website. I added some content recently, and there was a problem with scroll bar (there wasn't scroll bar before, lack of content). Image was set to display at 100em, but scroll bar took some space, so to see whole image i had to scroll page to the right. I solved the problem using this code, but i don't know if it's correct solution.
max-width: 98.96em;
min-width: 98.9em;
If there is any "less mechanical" solution, then please tell me about it.
Thank you for your help.
I suppose you don't mean em , but vw - 100vw is the full viewport width. em is a relative measurement unit derived from the current font size of the element.
I want a page with a fixed pixel size to always have the same percantage hight. I cant just use % or any other relative units since I already made the whole site in pixels.
Means when I have a div with a hight of 1500px and view it on a 1366x768 screen the whole 1500px div should still be visable completely.
The effect I want to accomplish is something similar to a browser zoom.
You could try min-height: 1500px; on the div, then put overflow-y: auto on the body or html elements.
If you want something to dynamically resize depending on the window height you'll want to look into either CSS flexbox, using the vh sizing, or using javascript to detect window resizing.
You could use the viewport meta tag for that. Just remove the "initial-scale=1" part and the page should always be rendered to fit the screen.
You should note that this might result in the page being shown very small which can lead to problems when people want to access it with a smartphone for example. If you want to optimize your page for different devices and screens, I suggest you make yourself familiar with responsive webdesign.
Something like height: 100vh; would make the object's height 100 percent of the viewport height. It seems like there is no way around switching from px to something else.
I've looked at many "mysterious white-space at bottom of page" issues here on SO, and played with the viewporttag many times, but I still cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong!
The page in question is: http://www.seniorchoicesunl.com/error_documents/error401.php
Here's what it looks like on mobile from Chrome Dev Tools:
Any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Edit:
setting ANY initial-scale is bad news! It makes the font too tiny!
Take a look:
The desired mobile look, while keeping the desktop and tablets as-is, is this:
P.S. Fixing this issue could reciprocally fix other related issues I'm having with other webpages.
Add this on top of your css file :)
html,body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
it fixed the bug for me.
What's going on here:
You've set width=device-width, this makes the layout size on your page equal to the device's screen width. i.e. making an element 100% will give it the same width as the screen.
Chrome infers the layout height using the width and screen's aspect ratio. i.e. height=width/aspectRatio
The sub_container_div element actually ends up being much wider than the layout width of the page. In my case on a Nexus 6, the device-width is 412px while the sub_container_div is 594px wide.
Since the content is wider than device-width, Chrome allows zooming out and loads the page at the minimum zoom level but this doesn't change the layout width/height so height 100% only fills device-width/aspect ratio pixels, which doesn't fill the zoomed out viewport.
The correct way to fix this is to make sure all your content is contained by the layout size. In your case, the reason the sub_container_div is wider than the layout size is that your padding/margins cause it to expand outside the parent. The solution is to add box-sizing: border-box to the sub_container_div and dialog elements and width: 100% to sub_container_div. That way, Chrome can't zoom out and you can't see outside the layout box (in HTML spec language, that's the initial containing block).
I had the same issue on Chrome 77
I fixed the problem by removing height: 100vh on the body tag.
This seems to fix the problem:
Change <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> to <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">.
Override width: 25em; on .sub_container_div in your mobile CSS so that the container scales with the width of the view.
If you do not want the font to scale, it seems just adding initial-scale=0 will work as well. However, this will make the text very hard to read. You can play around with different scales, but it seems just setting it will fix your issue.
In my case one element was too long for a mobile screen and it broke the webflow. After I shortened the width of the long element, the extra white screen was also removed from the footer.
