Need some help figuring out why the bottom images keep pushing out. I have a responsive grid layout and developing a personal webpage. Images are setup to display in a 4 column layout with a media query set up to change to a 2 column layout # 800px. When I resize the browser width by dragging the edge, the layout breaks then resolves itself on and off every few px the window is reduced by. E.g. at 800px the layout is good, 799px it breaks, fine at 797px and so on. Why is this happening?
Link to the page HTML and CSS
<p data-height="265" data-theme-id="0" data-slug-hash="VMeJMq"
data-default-tab="css,result" data-user="smedz28"
data-embed-version="2" data-pen-title="Media query breaking"
class="codepen">See the Pen
Media query breaking
by Marc Smedley (#smedz28)
on <a href="https://codepen.io">CodePen
</a>.
</p>
<script async src="https://production-assets.codepen.io/assets/embed/ei.js">
</script>
codepen
As the images in the codepen have no source, it is not possible to replicate the behavior.
Using the DOM inspector, all images have max-width:100% property defined. Due to the CSS Box Model, this might lead images to be greater than 100% width, as they also have border:3px set.
Try adjusting the max-width to compensate for the borders:
img {
max-width:calc(100% - 6px);
}
or
img {
max-width:calc(100% - 6px) !important;
}
If you need to force an override of other selectors.
So it looks like jae.phoenix was correct with the image size in a way, it wasn't so much the container size and HTML/CSS. It was the actual image sizes that were breaking the layout.
I resized all images and the layout seems to be working perfectly
Reduce the width of your images to see if that solves your problem? – jae.phoenix

I've been battling with this simple issue for a while and I'm looking for some help...
I'm trying to make a full width colour banner that spans the full width of the page, but doesn't in any way affect the browser viewport sizing. I want it to be visible to human eyes, but I don't want it to affect the size/location of the browser's start view or scrolling behavior... just like it's not really there.
I also want to be able to place the banner in-line in the HTML.
Here is my test page: http://www.tanatu.com/widthtest
The Green Banner works perfectly, but it's y-location is defined in CSS (which is a pain)
The Pink Banner is my best guess so far, and works as intended on Chrome, but not on Safari on iOS, where the viewport is skewed to one side

I've been playing with this for months so any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated! :0)
Thanks!
Because you are trying to break out of your parent container that is where your challenge is. You can do this a few ways but I think the easiest without completely changing your markup would be to use a combination of viewport width units and calc()
If you change these attributes on #widthtest4 it should work:
#widthtest4 {
width: 100vw;
margin-left: calc(-50vw + 426px);
}
So I'm working on a quick portfolio and in mobile, the "email me" does not expand across the entire screen as it should, as seen on this screenshot.
I've fiddled around with content width, device width, etc. using numbers, percentages, text values, and nothing has worked to make this page perfect. I rewrote the code to be cleaner and still can't find my mistake. Is it just something I'm overlooking?
You can just view my source to get my code, since the CSS should be there.
UPDATE: I removed the navigation padding and changed all of the device-width values but now the navigation bar does not go completely across. I am very confused since the #navigation and #mobilecontact should essentially have the same widths. I'm using Safari on iPhone.
Can you add the browser and version that you are testing on, because Email me button looks fine for me (occupies entire width) in latest chrome - developer tools.
May be your browser didn't understand 100vw
If you are concerned about the clickable area of "email me" anchor text.
You can make the anchor as display:block, so that it takes up entire row
I think you are using mac safari browser and in safari browser "vw" is not supported so now you can use "px" or "%" and button will be expand.
I have checked.. you need to fix following this
First of all you should remove "width=500" from your meta, highlighted in below image.
Add following in your CSS to fix paddings
* {
box-sizing:border-box;
}
Instead of width: device-width use width: 100% and add more properties in #title . see image
Update CSS for #about, #experience, #skills to width:100%
and thats it you all are done.
Here is final result
All you need to do is to fix font-size
When you want to have a responsive design; you don't need to use specific Width for block level elements.
just
remove numerical width from body's children, then add
body,html
{
width:100%;
box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
}
and then if you want to set padding or margin to viewport element; the standard way is just one element with specific class handle width like bootstrap container class
So I have managed to achieve the required result.
Basically the extra padding you are adding on <div id="navigation"> (padding-left: 350px) is part of the issue.
Also you are incorrectly using the device-width attribute value. One cannot specify the width of html elements using width=device-width;. Width attribute does not accept device-width as an acceptable value.
So replace that with width=100%; or width=100vw; everywhere you have used it. See here for documentation on responsive web design using viewport meta tag and device-width.
I was able to get the button to occupy 100% of the screen width by making these changes.
Remove padding-left: 350px from <div id="navigation">.
For <div id="title"> and <div id="about"> in the media queries for max-width: 500px, changing width from width: device-width to 100% or 100vw.
Here is the output. Let me know if it works out.
I have a website that I made (without bootstrap or any or that stuff, and I am having an issue trying to scale everything down for people with a smaller screen resolution. basically I'll want it to detect the size, and apply appropriate CSS classes to elements to scale everything down if under a specific width. Right now I am just trying to build the CSS classes, and I am having some difficulties. The closest I've gotten is shrinking all the content down using:
transform: scale(.75);
That works awesome on the actual content for resizing, but I'm left with a large padded field around the content. a bit hard to explain, but what I want is for the content to shrink, but the divs to still be 100% of the browser (so if there is a smaller browser it fits nicely without this stupid large padded area around the content)
Here is how it normally looks:
image!
and here is how it looks with the added CSS transform:image2!
Any ideas for how to overcome this would be greatly appreciated, Also note I really don't care about my solution not working in IE9 or lower!
The basic output that I want is the equivelent of shrinking the browser zoom to 75% if that helps..
Depending on how your CSS is written, something as simple as this could work:
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
body {font-size: 85%;}
}
If you have divs with em widths that will shrink their width, but you could change that via the media query above, perhaps setting their widths to 100% etc.
I am having a problem with the positioning of elements on my page.
When I try to open the website on an different computer with an different screen size it gets kind of messy.
That same happens when I resize my window. Certain elements stack in each other. Every element is positioned as absolute.
I greatly appreciate any help!
Without seeing you code, it is kind of hard. But I'll try to guess the answer.
You probably have set some width, define the total width of your elements and set that a minimum width of the body. Then when the viewports size is smaller, scrollbars will appear.
Add this to your CSS:
body {
min-width: 800px;
}
Sharing some code would be good.
To handle different screen size you might have to make your site responsive. A responsive layout uses percentages instead of pixels for defining layout element sizes. If you are creating a new page you could try BootStrap http://getbootstrap.com/. Bootstrap will make your layout look the same across different screen sizes.
I'm not a very talented web designer, so I'm having trouble to make my webpage stay in tact when the browser changes its size. It gets all messy and it looks awful.
When the browser is at its full size, the page looks fine.
This is how it looks like before re-sizing the browser:
And this is how it looks after making the browser smaller:
This happens only when you re-size the browser horizontally.
This is my CSS: http://pastebin.com/SfKT0Eth
I can't figure out my mistake since I'm not very good in HTML/CSS. That's not my area so I'm lacking the knowledge to figure this out myself.
I would appreciate your help.
EDIT
I fixed the problem with the sidebar and the dark content space. What I'm failing to achieve is prevent the upper menu (top-nav) items to fall down when the screen gets small.
I simply changed this in #sidebar:
width: 270px;
to
width: 19%;

Hi just i see your fiddle ... there are a few problems:
Number one you're setting the width with % this takes it in relation with the browsers size, you can set min-width and max-wdith to avoid this problem.
Try to put first in your html the box that is float:left and after the box float:right
I don't understand why you use postion:absolute for the outer div.
View this demo with your Fiddle fixed http://jsfiddle.net/J3jm7/15/
First of all you should really make a Jsfiddle with your question as with css alone I can't really see what is going on.
Now as far as I can see you are using absolute values for width in some elements. You should take a look at using % values. Also you should look into media queries through css. For example your side bar would be better if it was hidden or position below your main window when the browser gets really small width.
You could achieve something like that by using something like
#media screen and (max-width: 800px){
#sidebar {
display:none;
}
This would hide the sidebar if the browser window get resized below 800px width
or
#media screen and (max-width: 800px){
#sidebar {
float:none;
width:100%
}
This would have the sidebar get below your main window and size it to the full width of its parent element if the browser window get resized below 800px width
The media queries should of course coexist with your rest of css
Ah, I see you've added a fiddle. well if you want to keep your sidebar at 270px width you could do this with the container
.container {
width: calc(100% - 275px);
...
...
}
Very simply speaking it is hard to debug without a staging URL to look at. Anyway, your issue is because you are not using fluid development practices. Maybe try to google up how to develop fluid development. The idea is to use % and em and a base css font size. Also, you may wanna look at bootstrap3.
