How to test my responsive website for screen widths below 500px using Chrome on a desktop machine? - html

This is my first time designing a responsive website. I am trying to do a break point of max-width of 480px, but Google Chrome does not allow me to resize the window below 500px. Is there a way to do this?

For this you need to inspect(ctrl+shift+i) your html and click on the highlighted icon as shown here:

CSS - Webpage Screen remains at a large size when in mobile mode

Screen Size unchanged on Mobile
Briefly explaining this, I have a Chat App that works well on a desktop view but when we go into mobile it seems that the device simply mimics the size of the desktop screen (ie: on my Oneplus 6 the <html> tag is around 4000x2000px). I'm quite new to HTML mobile scaling so forgive me if the wording for this isn't to par with what's expected.
Continuing, on my desktop if I manually change Chrome's window size my webpage scales perfectly while on my mobile device it's huge as said in the previous line. Would using the #media tag in css help specifically for this? If so, how?
One last thing, if I zoom in manually on my mobile it obviously looks perfect as it's meant to fit the new tall aspect ratios. Which is ultimately what I wish to do, just need to keep the website scaled perfectly like on the second picture (picture B).Image B

Responsive popup in non-responsive page

There is a site. It is not responsive. For example, it has container/body width of 960 pixels.
There is popup window, which opens with some kind of Fancybox (in real life - remodal).
The window and the content in this window is responsive. But when it opens on mobile, popup window doesn't use CSS rules for current smartphone display width, because the site is static and has 960 pixels width.
How can I redefine meta viewport tag (or anything else), to make browser think that site is responsive and open responsive popup?
You can apply #media queries directly to any element. It might not be so easy with a 3rd party modal but in theory its possible.
#media (min-width:468px){...}
#media (max-width:4768px){...}
You can simply use use responsive Jquery UI for the modal, Take a look here, if that helps:

What needs to be configured so that the texts don't wrap?

I'm building a website using WordPress. Although the pages are well suited for Mobile site, this particular page is displayed very congested. This is the page from the website website - http://www.cyberfosters.com/anspress/
If you click F12 using Chrome browser on this page and toggle the "Device Mode" you'll see how it appears on a mobile device, I'm going through the CSS files to find out what needs to be changed but I can't seem to find out.
What I want is that the page should appear on a mobile as it does on the website but just scaled down.
I was looking at your html and css and the problem seems to be very simple, your site is not build to small deviced because it uses a mix of width values in PX and %, the design must be set in % to work well on multiple devices without using special pages for mobiles and other for pc this is my recomendation.
Example if you put a 1090px image on a 800px screen resolution it will just not work so what we do is to set image width value to 100% in this case and so on that way the images get auto resized the easy way. Do the same with tables images divs spans etc

Window Height 100% in mobile chrome

I have a responsive website where the first div on the site fills up the entire height of the browser using height: 100%. Mobile Chrome Browser unfortunately hides the address bar on some devices including iPhone, iPad and many Android devices. This leads to a page jump because right after scrolling the height of the window grows plus the height of the address bar.
How do I prevent this?
Thank you!
Write some JS to determine the window size and set the height to that pixel value instead of a percentage. Make sure to handle orientation change events to account for that scenario as well.

Why does my html page has a default width?

I am trying to change an website from fixed layout to a responsive layout but I am having problems setting up the html width. As you can see in the image below the width of html tag is 980px even if the page is empty, no css or js, just the html tags and doctype (the head and body are added automatically by browser):
For testing I am using the Google Chrome Dev Emulator set up as Apple Iphone, I also tested on a phone and still the page looks too big for the screen.
Do you have any idea what to change to make my html tag width vanish?
It's your Dev Emulator. According to the Safari Web Content Guide by Apple (under "Examples of Viewports on iOS"), the default size of the viewport of the iPhone is 980px. The Dev Emulator is then...emulating that page size for you. If you want to make it go away, just turn off the emulator or adjust any settings it may have.
