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.

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 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
I'm new in programming and I'm trying to make my website, but I'm stuck with an issue:
When I opened my site in a landscape page view, a blue column appear at the right side of it. It's like it did not fit the 100% width of the page. When I scroll down, my sticky menu is able to fill it. Does anyone have any idea why?

The shortest answer to this would be that you need to restrain your page's width and hide all overflow. To do so, you can use:
html{
max-width: 100vw;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
The vw unit is quite unknown by people but is very useful as it matches the user's viewport width. Once you have set the max-width, you can hide all overflow on the x axis with overflow-x.
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.
I know a lot of people ask questions on this, but I have a spacing problem with my divs.
My main div tag of my web page is 1024px. The problem is that on smaller screens part of my
page gets cut off and you have to scroll horizontally. How do I fix that so that the page will
fit in any window? (especially the smaller ones)
I do not want to use the width:100% property cause I already defined the width as 1024px.
Here is my main div tag's properties:
<div id="main" style=" margin: 0 auto; padding-top: 50px; width:1024px;">
my content.....
</div>
A more common width for a Web page is 960px just to avoid the problem you are encountering. Sorry, the only way to fit your page into those smaller screens is to reduce the width for your main div.
If you are using a fixed width, in this case 1024px, you cannot make the page fit in any window.
You should have a read of Responsive Web Design which explains how to incorporate flexibility into your design.
I'm assuming you don't want it wider than 1024px? If so, set the max-width property on it:
#main {
max-width: 1024px;
}
then, it will fit the screen, but not go larger than 1024.
