CSS Mobile Definition Not Applying? - html

I made a site here. It works great on all screens except mobile where the slogan is too large. So i added a mobile css definition for the slogan "Always coding and brewing up something good" but on my phone it does nothing? I am using bootstrap but only with the grid and responsive elements. The css I applied is the below in question is:
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.grabber{
font-size: 12px;
}
}

You defined in your stylesheet.css a following order of styles:
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.grabber{
font-size: 12px;
}
}
.grabber{
color: #3498db;
font-size: 2em;
font-family: 'black_roseregular', Arial, sans-serif;
}
and due to processing css-rules consequentially latest font size style applied to .grabber will be font-size: 2em;. All you need is to swap these statements like this:
.grabber{
color: #3498db;
font-size: 2em;
font-family: 'black_roseregular', Arial, sans-serif;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.grabber{
font-size: 12px;
}
}

Trying to update header sizing on mobile, but CSS isn't responding. Am I missing something?

Trying to update CSS so that the headline adapts and becomes smaller when viewing mobile. Might be missing something or there's some other CSS that controls it but not sure where.
I've tried looking up various code, but testing it locally, still not getting desired result.
HTML
<div class="col-12 col-md-auto cta-headline">
<h2><span class="cta-headline">SIGN UP!</span></h2>
</div>
CSS
.cta-headline {
color: $white;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: "Gilroy", "Helvetica", Helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 25px;
letter-spacing: 3px;
margin-bottom: -15px;
margin-top: -20px;
#media only screen and (min-width: 450px) and (max-width: 959px) {
.cta-headline { font-size: 10px;
}
}
}
I'd like the text to just scale appropriately down when viewing mobile compared to desktop.
Are you using Sass? Because CSS you shouldn't be nesting media queries inside the class. Just move the media query to its own line and it should work.
The min & max width is also redundant, it's much better to just remove the min and keep the max. If the width goes below 450px, create another media query where the max width is 450px
.cta-headline {
color: $white;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: "Gilroy", "Helvetica", Helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 25px;
letter-spacing: 3px;
margin-bottom: -15px;
margin-top: -20px;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {
.cta-headline { font-size: 10px; }
}

How to make bootstrap headings responsive?

I'm making a bootstrap website. Everything is working smooth on all the screen sizes but the heading(h1) remains fixed size. It is too big for small screens. How can I fix the bootstrap h1 or headings in general.
You can use #media for this
#media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
h1{
font-size:14px;
}
}
That means less than 768px the h1 tag font size will be 14px.
Like this you can set for all pixel you required.
That is my solution. Fully responsive bootstrap headings
#import "bootstrap/scss/functions.scss";
#import "bootstrap/scss/variables.scss";
#import "bootstrap/scss/mixins.scss";
#each $breakpoint in map-keys($grid-breakpoints) {
#include media-breakpoint-up($breakpoint) {
$infix: breakpoint-infix($breakpoint, $grid-breakpoints);
.h1#{$infix} { font-size: $h1-font-size!important; }
.h2#{$infix} { font-size: $h2-font-size!important; }
.h3#{$infix} { font-size: $h3-font-size!important; }
.h4#{$infix} { font-size: $h4-font-size!important; }
.h5#{$infix} { font-size: $h5-font-size!important; }
.h6#{$infix} { font-size: $h6-font-size!important; }
.display-1#{$infix} {
font-size: $display1-size!important;
font-weight: $display1-weight;
line-height: $display-line-height;
}
.display-2#{$infix} {
font-size: $display2-size!important;
font-weight: $display2-weight;
line-height: $display-line-height;
}
.display-3#{$infix} {
font-size: $display3-size!important;
font-weight: $display3-weight;
line-height: $display-line-height;
}
.display-4#{$infix} {
font-size: $display4-size!important;
font-weight: $display4-weight;
line-height: $display-line-height;
}
}
}
best use the bootstrap sass in your own sass, keep it DRY and maintainable
#import "../bootstrap-sass/bootstrap/variables";
#media screen and (max-width: $screen-md-max) {
h1 {
font-size:14px;
}
}

Media query and text

I am trying to find a way to place my headline and sub-headline, so they are aligned with eachother. But when i make it fit on 1 device, the text is jumping around on another device. That means I am just going around in circles.
Is there a way where I can say on all mobile devices the margin should be fx: 20px from the left, or how are you guys doing it?
HTML
<div class="max-container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
#CurrentPage.GetGridHtml("Grid")
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.header-text h1 {
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 40px;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #fff;
padding-top: 160px;
}
.header-text h2 {
font-size: 20px !important;
margin-bottom: 25px;
font-weight: 900;
color: #fff;
}
/* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
#media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) {
.header-text h2 {
font-size: 20px !important;
margin-left: 20px;
font-weight: 900;
}
Try this:
/* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
#media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) {
.header-text h2, .header-text h1 {
margin-left: 20px;
}
}
You don't need to repeat all the other values if they stay the same — you'll also notice you can combine selectors together, which makes your code lighter.
Also, be careful about using !important (it can make future coding really messy). Try to add specificity before you use that.

How to change CSS id property depending upon screen size

I do know how to use media-screen functionality, but wanna ask you guys something else, something which I really needed for my project. Let me paste some code snippet so that I can elaborate you exactly what I'm looking for.
In below I'm pasting a css ID which I made for my site design:
#Disp_name {
color: #424854;
font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;
font-size: 5.5em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 105px;
/*margin: 200px 0 25px;*/
margin: 0px 0 25px;
text-rendering: optimizelegibility;
transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; }
Now I want when anyone open up my project from a small screen device, like
**When open up from 400> and <450px the font-size will be 4em and if >300 and <400px then 3em and if less than <300px then 2em.
What should I do? Please help
As DevIshone said, media queries are exactly what you're looking for. In that case it would look something like this
#media (max-width: 450px) and (min-width: 400px) {
font-size: 4em;
}
#media (max-width: 400px) and (min-width: 300px) {
font-size: 3em;
}
#media (max-width: 300px) {
font-size: 2em;
}
use media queries in your css
for example:
#media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.classname{
font-size: 6em;
}
}

best practice font size for mobile

I have seen this question on SO:
What are the most common font-sizes for H1-H6 tags
with this being the recommended font sizes fo H tags:
h1 { font-size: 2em; }
h2 { font-size: 1.5em; }
h3 { font-size: 1.17em; }
h5 { font-size: .83em; }
h6 { font-size: .75em; }
Is there a 'best practice' for these for mobile phones? -say iphone screen size?
The font sizes in your question are an example of what ratio each header should be in comparison to each other, rather than what size they should be themselves (in pixels).
So in response to your question "Is there a 'best practice' for these for mobile phones? - say iphone screen size?", yes there probably is - but you might find what someone says is "best practice" does not work for your layout.
However, to help get you on the right track, this article about building responsive layouts provides a good example of how to calculate the base font-size in pixels in relation to device screen sizes.
The suggested font-sizes for screen resolutions suggested from that article are as follows:
#media (min-width: 858px) {
html {
font-size: 12px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 780px) {
html {
font-size: 11px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 702px) {
html {
font-size: 10px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 624px) {
html {
font-size: 9px;
}
}
#media (max-width: 623px) {
html {
font-size: 8px;
}
}
Based on my comment to the accepted answer, there are a lot potential pitfalls that you may encounter by declaring font-sizes smaller than 12px. By declaring styles that lead to computed font-sizes of less than 12px, like so:
html {
font-size: 8px;
}
p {
font-size: 1.4rem;
}
// Computed p size: 11px.
You'll run into issues with browsers, like Chrome with a Chinese language pack that automatically renders any font sizes computed under 12px as 12px. So, the following is true:
h6 {
font-size: 12px;
}
p {
font-size: 8px;
}
// Both render at 12px in Chrome with a Chinese language pack.
// How unpleasant of a surprise.
I would also argue that for accessibility reasons, you generally shouldn't use sizes under 12px. You might be able to make a case for captions and the like, but again--prepare to be surprised under some browser setups, and prepared to make your grandma squint when she's trying to read your content.
I would instead, opt for something like this:
h1 {
font-size: 2.5rem;
}
h2 {
font-size: 2.25rem;
}
h3 {
font-size: 2rem;
}
h4 {
font-size: 1.75rem;
}
h5 {
font-size: 1.5rem;
}
h6 {
font-size: 1.25rem;
}
p {
font-size: 1rem;
}
#media (max-width: 480px) {
html {
font-size: 12px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 480px) {
html {
font-size: 13px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 768px) {
html {
font-size: 14px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 992px) {
html {
font-size: 15px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
html {
font-size: 16px;
}
}
You'll find that tons of sites that have to focus on accessibility use rather large font sizes, even for p elements.
As a side note, setting margin-bottom equal to the font-size usually also tends to be attractive, i.e.:
h1 {
font-size: 2.5rem;
margin-bottom: 2.5rem;
}
Good luck.
The whole thing to em is, that the size is relative to the base. So I would say you could keep the font sizes by altering the base.
Example: If you base is 16px, and p is .75em (which is 12px) you would have to raise the base to about 20px. In this case p would then equal about 15px which is the minimum I personally require for mobile phones.
