How do I make this Modal dialog more responsive? - html

Question

Unresponsive Modal Dialog, without using Media queries or JS is what the goal (was) is. Can be done - but I have since lost the code to update the question.
You can see it on this Fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/4qkonfLk/
Code:
.modalDialog {
position: fixed;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
z-index: 99999;
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
-moz-transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
pointer-events: none;
}
.modalDialog:target {
opacity: 1;
pointer-events: auto;
}
.modalDialog > div {
width: 400px;
position: relative;
margin: 10% auto;
padding: 5px 20px 13px 20px;
border-radius: 10px;
background: #fff;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
}
.close2 {
background: #606061;
color: #FFFFFF;
line-height: 25px;
position: absolute;
right: -12px;
text-align: center;
top: -10px;
width: 24px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
-webkit-border-radius: 12px;
-moz-border-radius: 12px;
border-radius: 12px;
-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #000;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #000;
}
.close2:hover {
background: #00d9ff;
}
Other Information
<div id="openModal" class="modalDialog">
<div> X
</div>
</div>
Any Suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can specify mobile-only CSS by using media queries, media queries applies CSS rules only in specific conditions such as a width range, for more see the following article.
In your case you can target mobiles width (which is usually 360px) as the max-width of your media query as following:
.modalDialog {
position: fixed;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
z-index: 99999;
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
-moz-transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
pointer-events: none;
}
.modalDialog:target {
opacity: 1;
pointer-events: auto;
}
.modalDialog > div {
width: 400px;
position: relative;
margin: 10% auto;
padding: 5px 20px 13px 20px;
border-radius: 10px;
background: #fff;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
}
.close2 {
background: #606061;
color: #FFFFFF;
line-height: 25px;
position: absolute;
right: -12px;
text-align: center;
top: -10px;
width: 24px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
-webkit-border-radius: 12px;
-moz-border-radius: 12px;
border-radius: 12px;
-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #000;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #000;
}
.close2:hover {
background: #00d9ff;
}
#media (max-width: 360px) {
.modalDialog > div {
width: 300px;
}
}

<div id="openModal" class="modalDialog">
<div> X
</div>
</div>

Answer 2

You want to use #media queries to create alternative renderings.
Like:
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
body {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
}
rynave's answer here lists many good common ones; I think it is common to have 2-4 for:
pc/tablet, phone
phone, tablet, pc
phone, tablet, pc, hi res
Or
watch app, phone, tablet, pc
Not sure his iPhone one is so useful any more.

Answer 3

I ended up using some custom CSS classes based on the screensize (Media Queries)to use something different for smaller screens - I ended up scrapping the entire thing after though, so this question is pretty much irrelevant to anything in the community, since I couldn't delete it, I am editing my answers to help understand what I was talking about.
