I'm using fancyBox3 in a project and I want to achieve the following:
I wanted to know if there is a CSS trick to achieve it or if it requires some math and calculation to make it fit perfectly?
Basically, there are two ways - using JS (there are ton of scripts, for example https://github.com/brunjo/rowGrid.js, https://haltu.github.io/muuri/, https://github.com/kombai/freewall, http://miromannino.github.io/Justified-Gallery/) or CSS.
The problem with CSS is that it is still not possible to create true "masonry style layout", but you can archive something similar, try googling for "masonry using css", you will find many articles and examples about this topic, for example, this one - https://medium.com/#andybarefoot/a-masonry-style-layout-using-css-grid-8c663d355ebb
Have a look at masonry.js - it does all the calculations for you to make your images tesselate as you resize the screen etc.

I have an assignment to display products in specific way that needs to be responsive as well,
this is what I need to achieve:
In your opinion and experience, in order to achieve that what method will you use?
Bunch of divs? table? ul/li?
I need little bit of direction before I'll start encoding the image. and I'm looking
for the most efficient way for the responsive design.
The most efficient way can only be done using bootstrap. A starter guide is found on the following site
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#tables
Just load the libraries in you project at the appropriate places and apply the classes to your tags to get the most responsive design you want.
Complex Grid Layout, Help!
I'm making a responsive website using bootstrap 3.0.2 and can't figure out the layout that is stated in the requirements document for the project. I made an image of what I need, and will give more detail, or update my question, if needed. I am open to any suggestion on how to accomplish this.
The Issue
This image describes what I need the design to look like at three different widths.
I should add, each box will be basically a div with an image, article title and summary within it.
Like to say ... in advanced
Id like to say thanks and apologize in advanced if the question is dumb or the answer is obvious. I have been a dev for a long time, but I'm new to responsive design and I've been banging my head on the wall trying to get this to work
The problematic part of your project is to make two smaller blocks side with a bigger one and make these two 50%. As far as I know, there are no mature cross-browser solutions that would accomplish that without javascript.
You may want to take a look at: Flexbox and for Comrade IE Flexie.
Another approach to accomplish the same could be using viewport dimensions. Just be aware of the browsers support.
All in all, if you can do that, I would suggest just using JS, with a fallback to css that will not break the site's look too much. Having just finished a project with similar requirements, I would just like to say good luck.
I'm trying to get my head around working with responsive webdesign (by column stacking) and I'm currently using this grid for my layouts: http://www.responsivegridsystem.com/ which I think works quite neat.
Only thing I'm running my head the wall with is to make it "smart enough" to also try and fit my columns by their height. What I have so far is this: http://gridtest.uconsult.dk/ and what I'm looking for is this: http://gridtest.uconsult.dk/gridheight.png so that the grid is trying to fit the rows by their height aswell as the column count.
Is this possible in some way? :-) Should I by using some other grid for this or do I have to make up some hacky javascript to achieve what I want?
Thanks in advance.
Don't reinvent the wheel! David DeSandro already put out a couple jquery plugins that will do this for you. Masonry was the first one and works very well, and Isotope is the newer version that expanded on the original thinking along with additional features like sorting. Both will do a good job of creating the dynamic grid system you're hoping for.
I have got a requirement where the outlook is as shown in the attached image
I have accomplished the task by making use of tables in HTML and styling using CSS.
The criteria is that the images in a row is almost the same (i.e the two images) and the content changes for every row. So the content is different on every row but the images remain the same for every row. Just for info there will be multiple number of rows. What would be the best practice to implement such as design other than using tables, where it should also be flexible to change the content. Or using tables is the best option.
Suggestions from the professionals are appreciated.
I don't want to write it for you but I've made a quick mock up for you to have a look at - http://jsfiddle.net/spacebeers/TAJdw/
You don't want to use tables for anything other than tabular date anymore. You're much better off spending your time researching CSS.
Have a look at my example. It's what one instance of a content container could look like. What you want to do from there is look at getting two of them in a row. Build the CSS for the .container class, then copy another instance of .contentContainer in and see what results you get.
I'm happy to provide help if you want but it's always good to have a crack at it yourself. You'll get better answers on here and avoid unnecessary downvoting of your question.
It is generally advisable to use pure css for things like this, rather than tables. Tables cause your page to render slower, as the content needs to be loaded before the rendering engine can correctly draw them.
Try something like this
I would consider using a div with a background image style to it so that for each row with the same image all you will need to do is put that specific div class in. Then you can just position the outer div's to get it to look correctly, although tables are not the most efficient way of build web pages they still work.
Like mez said - you need to think about repeating content - and learning about floats. I'd really advise working through this site
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/
it will teach you all the basics of designing with divs.
In the meantime - here's roughly what your're after. I've added background colours and made up all the heights and widths, as they weren't specifie, but it should get you started.
If you look at the html, I've annotated what is just a repeat of earlier content.

What I want to do is create a connector from the second tr to all the tr's below except for the last one. Here's a mockup:
How would I accomplish this via a combo of CSS/HTML/Prototype/Rails?
Something like this?

I am truly a fan of jimmy's answer, but i have tried to do this without the use of images.
I know its not as good as it can be with the use of images, but probably it can be improved upon to actually get it working without images.
