<html /> element is only taking up half the screen - html

I am working on a React web page and I tried to see what the site looks like on mobile, so I switched to mobile view, and as you can see my element is only taking up half of the screen, so my content and my navbar and all my elements are actually only on half of the screen.
Here is my index.css
html {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
overflow-y: scroll;
background-color: #ececec;
width: 100%;
}
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
The table that you can see has a min-width attribute, so it can actually be seen, but its container div is also the same size as the html tag... Help!!
I noticed that the html element width is always as big as the screen of the device is, and it gets "stuck" at that point.. If I create a screen size that is 400px wide, the tag is 400px wide, and instead of wrapping all the content it's just a fixed width of 400px...
I added a min-width: 1000px to my #root and it looks okay now but my html width is still the same as my screen width which I think should not be like that

Maybe try this
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Responsive Meta Tag

Try setting the width as 100vw, not 100% and if this won't work, set min-width to 100vw, too

How can I force a banner to size up and be full-width in CSS?

I have been reading stack overflow for some time but this is my first post!
I have this website: https://oliv-collection.com/.
The banner on top is full width as long as the screen you view it with has a resolution of less than 1600px (the original picture width). Once the resolution is greater than that, the banner does not cover the entire width of the page.
Is there an easy way with CSS to make the width and height increase so as to cover the full width? I have been fighting with Google Inspector but can't figure out what to do!
Thanks
There might be better ways to do this, but I managed something close to what you ask for by changing the styling of the banner images to the following:
.slick-slider .nm-banner img, .nm-banner img {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
What I did was replace width: auto; to width: 100% to make the image resize correctly, and remove max-width: 100%; and height: auto;. With my change, the banner image will increase with the width of the screen even above 1600px. This works for me in Safari on macOS.
You should use
width: 100%;
Whatever the width of the screen is, the banner will be with maximum width.
Set the margin of the HTML body in CSS to 0.
body {margin: 0;}

Automatically scale element to fit viewport / device orientation

I have the following markup: (simplified)
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
...
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="content"> (absolutely positioned stuff) </div>
</div>
</body>
with the following styles:
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.content {
width: 640px;
height: 640px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
background-color: orange;
}
On a desktop (screens larger than 640px x 640px) my square is top and center, which looks good. On mobile portrait, my square is top and fills the width, which is also good and perfectly acceptable. On mobile landscape (screens less than 640px tall), however, my square fills the entire width and the user will need to scroll to see the bottom of the square, which is not acceptable.
What I'd like to achieve is for the square to fit the height of the screen so it can be seen in its entirety in landscape view. I'm trying some media queries out now to see if that helps. Otherwise, what would be the best way to achieve this?
I've tried changing .content to height: 100%, but because most of its contents are absolutely positioned they end up having 0px height. As such, ideally the square should still be 640px x 640px in size, just scaled to fit the screen so the contents can stay put.
Thanks.
This is the ideal case for viewport units. Where 100vw is the the width of the viewport, and 100vh is the height of the viewport.
You should be able to find some more information on the different units here.
One thing to note though, is that using height related viewport units can lead to some odd effects on Mobile Safari and Mobile Chrome, because the viewport height can change on scroll. The various behaviours of Chrome and Safari on mobile with regards to this have changed over the years as they try to figure you out an ideal solution. I find if I need to rely on vh units I often use a little bit of javascript or css to then "lock" the object at that height on mobile.
You can find other tips for that issue if you run into it in this Stack Overflow Post

How to make large size(large resolution) images fit to every screen size,How to avoid it going beyond the screen

I'm making a few HTML pages specifically for iPad Air and iPad Mini. The pages will have few larges images, for example of the size of 1600x300. But as per the code which was written by me the images are too big to be on the screen, it goes beyond the screen while testing in Windows browsers. Code as shown below:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="image1"></div>
<div class="image2"></div>
</div>
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
height: 100%
}
.image1 {
width: 1600px;
height: 300px;
top: 100px;
left: 100px
}
.image2 {
width: 1700px;
height: 300px;
top: 450px;
left: 100px
}
The width and height of div are set the same as width and height of the image. The images size were specifically designed for iPad, I can't change the size.
If I give the actual resolution of iPad for .wrapper as shown below the images will get positioned correctly when I test I the browser setting the screen size to 1024x768 (logical resolution of iPad).
.wrapper {
width: 2048px;
height: 1536px
}
I want the image to adapt to all screen as well as iPad by giving 100% width and height to wrapper class so that even in the portrait mode of iPad I can view it without any fluctuations. Please tell me how to achieve this.
Thanks
OP hasn't clarified why they're using DIVs. Maybe there's going to be content laid over it? Until OP provides clarification I'm going to provide the standard responsive image solution.
If you don't have to use DIVs, try this:
<img src="http://placehold.it/1600x300">
<img src="http://placehold.it/1600x300">
img {
display: block;
max-width: 100%;
}
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rwzn2db6/
UPDATE
Note: I cannot tell if you're also looking for a 100% height option or just need the widths to be a 100% width and scale.
If you'd like to use DIVs you could use background-size: cover along with the appropriate amount of padding-bottom for each image DIV. The padding on the bottom of the DIV is based on the image's height to width ratio expressed as a percentage.
<div class="container">
<div class="img-1"></div>
<div class="img-2"></div>
</div>
.container > div {
background-size: contain;
}
.img-1 {
background: url('http://placehold.it/1600x300/') no-repeat;
padding-bottom: 18.75%; /* 300/1600 * 100 = 18.75 */
}
.img-2 {
background: url('http://placehold.it/1600x300') no-repeat;
padding-bottom: 25%; /* 400/1600 * 100 = 25 */
}

Either of the solutions offered above may not be a 100% what you're looking for as it is hard to tell what the proper context and final objective is.
Add max-width: 100% and height:auto to your images
May be you need to adjust size (width-height) of pages according to the device, so you might need the following tag added to your section of your HTML.
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body>
......
......
content="width=device-width" will adjust screen resolution automatically'initial-scale' value used to set zoom level of page.
First of all, what's with people saying stuff isn't an answer? Expecially when it is? Wtf.
Second of all, another acceptable answer on top of what was already said by DigitalDouble, would be to set the image to have the
Background-size:cover; and set the image with css background-image property.
I would remove the pixel sizes entierly and just set it to 100% width and height, with position Absolute to be able to lay other content on top of it.

Media Query trouble

I am having trouble making content scale proportionally when it get to mobile devices.
On a desktop the site looks like this http://imgur.com/a/hhsIb (first image)
I set a media query to make it look like this (second image)
#media only screen and (max-width: 867px) {
#header-wrap{
padding: 0px 0px 0px;
max-height: 100%;
}
.right.nav {
float: none;
}
.nav{
}
ul {
display:inline-block;
padding: 0px 10px 0px;
min-width: 300px;
}
.left {
float: none;
}
.logo{
margin:auto
}
}
But when viewed on a mobile device it looks like the desktop (third image)
I am also trying to make the nav move from being floated right to aligned in the center once it hits the query but I don't know how to do so.
Here's the JS Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/u9shm5af/
You need to add the viewport meta tag to the <head> section of the document:
<html>
<head>
<title>Robert Fikes</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
Mobile browsers, without this tag, render web content at a fixed width, so that older sites that don't have responsive styles aren't cut off.
From the Safari Developer Library:
The majority of webpages fit nicely in the visible area with the viewport width set to 980 pixels in portrait orientation, as shown in Figure 3-10. If Safari on iOS did not set the viewport width to 980 pixels, then only the upper-left corner of the webpage, shown in gray, would be displayed. However, this default doesn’t work for all webpages, so you’ll want to use the viewport meta tag if your webpage is different.

CSS and html not rendering well on mobile

I have a page i've created which works fine in a desktop but get's messed up in a mobile browser.
This is the mobile version. I have a header and a .container(the one with gray background) set to width 100%. Inside .container i've a .wrapper set to width: 900px; and margin: 0 auto;. Why is the blue background and the gray background rendering till about half of the page witdh? What is the best way I can approach the problem to create a page like the desktop version on the mobile as well?
I believe your wrapper may be causing the issue. Instead of setting a fixed width for the object do:
.wrapper {
max-width:900px;
width:100%;
display:block; //for centering
margin:0 auto // for centering
}
Should solve your problem and make the website more responsive throughout different platforms.
Good luck! :)
NOTE
If you are not already doing so, take rajkumar's comment and add:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
It's your wrapper and li width. Set them to percentages.
.wrapper {
width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
li {
width: 30%;
....
}
if you want create a site for both desktop and mobile..Try all width in percentage.because percentage only fit width automatically according to screen resolution.suppose you give in pixels the screen was not adjustable in all screen resolutions.its only fix according to your size only.
In your case please make sure for all width in percentage.
and also please conform the media type for get screen width in header section
