Below i have written some css to ensure my "sections" use up the whole screen when navigated to, however when the browser window is made smaller or accessed on mobile the content is lost as it does not fit.
I have made a media query to counter the first bit of css but I'm not sure what to set it as to counter it.
#media screen and (max-width: 550px){
section.full {height: auto;}
section.contactfull {height: auto; margin-top:0%;}
}
section.full {height: 100vh;}
section.contactfull {
height: 70vh;
margin-top: 10%;
}
I think you will have to leave things flow down. No matter what device people use, you can restrict only one of the 2 dimensions, but not both of them.
Just adjust things horizontally and let them flow vertically.
If you want the section to take up the whole screen, you can use the following:
section {
display: fixed;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
I think the reason vh is failing you is because at a smaller resolution, the horizontal scroll bar shows up on your page, and vh doesn't take it into account.

I am attempting to rebuild a site by going mobile-first but I am struggling with what I think is the responsiveness/resizing of the images or the other sections not resizing when browser width is increased, but the images grow quite large and overlap the section below.
I have tried adjusting the width and height of the images, anchor tags and the section below the images
If anybody has any ideas of what the cause would be, I would really appreciate the help.
At line 246 of your CSS, you've set the height of the lightbox section to 700px and this non-responsive height is causing problems at viewport widths of about 490 - 760px.
It isn't clear to me why you even need to see the height of this lightbox section, but if it's necessary, what about adding an extra breakpoint?
#media (max-width: 490px) {
.lightbox-section {
height: 700px;
}
}
#media (max-width: 760px) {
...
.lightbox-section {
padding: 63px 10px;
/* height: 700px; */ Either comment this out or adjust as needed
text-align: center;
}
...
}

I can see that you've set a pixel height for the index-services section as well but the image links are broken so I can't see if there's an issue in this section as well or not.
So, i'm a beginner html/css coder and trying to make a simple site.
Now I have a neat background that behaves perfectly.
But when adding a logo at the top center it looks perfect on the current window size. But when I resize the window, half of the logo is cut off.
My CSS style:
.header-logo {
background: url(images/header-logo.png);
position: relative;
height: 200px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background-size:cover;
width: 971px;
z-index: 2;
}
I suppose there is an auto scale css/js setting for that but i'm not lucky enough to find it.
All help is appreciated!

The issue is these two lines of code:
height: 200px;
width:971px;
When you use "px" it's a fixed amount of pixels which means it doesn't change based on screen size. If you use "em" instead then the image will change based on the screen size of the visitor.
Here are two quick references that I hope may be helpful.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_units.asp
http://kyleschaeffer.com/development/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/
To fix it you might do something like this:
height: 100em;
width:486em;
(Don't use my exact values of course.)
EDIT:
Alternatively it may be good to use a percentage like this:
width: 971px;
max-width:100%
EDIT 2:
It was pointed out to me that you'd probably want to include this line as well:
height:auto;
It happens because your width is setted to be fixed on 971px, you should use width: 100% and set max-width or at least use #media to set your logo width.
using #media:
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
.header-logo{
width: 250px;
background-position: center;
}
}
It seems like you want a 971px wide logo and you have an issue when the screen size is less than that because the logo gets cut off.
What you need is a media query like this one and place it at the end of you css
#media (max-width: 971px) {
.header-logo {
width: 100%;
}
}
That way any screen size under 971px will change the width property to 100% of screen size.
You don't need to redeclare all the properties of the class in the media query, it will just change the ones that have to adapt to the new screen size.

The "rh" logo on my site is responsive vertically, ie fits perfectly to a tall thin window, but does not resize to a wide short window. Could anyone help me make the logo responsive to both width and height?
here is the website... (takes a bit to load up)
http://rhwebdesign.co.uk/
Here is my CSS:
img {
height: auto;
max-width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
To be very specific and address your questions about the logo, consider setting the max-height relative to the window's height.
You have:
img {
height: auto;
max-width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.hero-logo img {
max-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 20px;
}
In order to scale the logo, add in to the latter block:
max-height: 100vh;
This sets the images maximum height to 100% of the viewport height, which appears to be what you desire here. Note that there is some text beneath it, which is not displayed, since it is text wrapped in an H5. These two lines are 68px tall (40px padding plus 28px for the text). So, you can adjust the above to:
max-height: calc(100vh - 68px);
It looks like in landscape mode (480x320), there is a script not calculating the size of margin correctly.
<div class="container hero-content" style="margin-top: -97.5px;">
have a look in main.js for this function:
heroContent.css({
"margin-top" : topContentMargin+"px"
});
Which is this:
topContentMargin = (heroHeight - contentHeight) / 2,
heroHeight = windowHeight,
contentHeight = heroContent.height(),
I haven't really looked into why it is calulating it incorrectly. My guess is that heroContent is too high for landscape mode because the image becomes 441px high with the media query max-width:100%. So it tries to add a negative margin to compensate.
My advice would be to remove the jQuery calculation of the hero content sizing and apply sizes using css and media queries only.
Edit:
You need to be more specific with your css. Learn some more about css specifity. You should include your largest media queries at the top, so the smaller ones will take precedence at the bottom. Makes things easier. Also IMHO, I wouldn't use queries for anything larger than iPad. ie. 1024px. Although you should always test on newer devices if possible.
You will need to specify the height of the video for each specific device size. I can't tell now, but maybe jquery was determining the section heights, so now the css is determining the video height.
So at the bottom of your style sheet, try this.
div#bgVideo.skrollable.skrollable-between video#video_background {
min-height:940px !important;
}
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.hero-logo img {
max-width:55%; /*looks nice at 480 */
padding:20px;
}
div#bgVideo.skrollable.skrollable-between video#video_background {
min-height:320px !important;
}
}
#media (max-width: 320px) {
div#bgVideo.skrollable.skrollable-between video#video_background {
min-height:480px !important;
}
}
But Richard, to be honest, you should be troubleshooting and testing the design yourself. How will you ever learn if you don't try. Remember, firebug is your best friend :)
maybe my title did not make much sense. So first off I want to apologize for that and I'll do my best to explain what I mean.
I am trying to create a website layout with percentages. When the browser gets bigger everything looks quite nice. When making the browser smaller that's when things get really messy e.g. the menu bar gets pushed out of it's position and gets over the content area.
So what I would like is that after a certain point(before things get pushed out of there position) the width gets threaded like it was pixels and the browser has to be scrolled to see the content.
Hope you have an idea of what I meant and I would like to thank you guys in advance for any help!
Take a look at media queries:
#media (max-width: 600px) {
/* your code for small devices */
}
#menu-bar {
width: 100%;
min-width: 1000px; /* Your desired width */
}
But I suggest you to use it for the whole content page or wrapper div.
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
min-width: 1000px; /* Your desired width */
}
And then put other contents inside it using percentage width.
any help here would be great.
I'm simply trying to place a header that stretches 100% of the screen. Inside this header is another div containing text. What i have looks fine at full screen, but when i resize down the text stacks on top of each other to accommodate the percentage.
If i set the container width to pixels instead of percentage, the header doesn't stretch the full length of the window unless i specify an exact pixel amount like 1463px - this doesn't seem right because while it may be appropriate for my laptop/screen dimensions i feel like it wouldn't work on a bigger screen with a maximized window.
I just want everything in my container to be able to be positioned according to the 100% of the browser width and height, but using percentages isn't allowing me to fix the elements so they stay put during resize. I've been working with percentages mostly and am having great difficulty keeping them fixed on resize as opposed to pixel dimensions, basically because using percentages is ensuring that my content is taking up 100% of the browser window, whereas I can't be sure with this when using pixels.
html, body {
height: 100 % ;
width: 100 % ;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.container {
width: 100 % ;
height: 100 % ;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#
topbar {
height: 25px;
background - color: #000000;
width: 100%;
}
# topbartext {
font - family: times;
color: #ffffff;
font - size: 11px;
text - align: center;
padding: 5px;
}
The text is what is moving during resize - when I make the window smaller the text just stacks on top of eachother in order to still fit the screen. I don't want it to do this - i just want it to be fixed and not resize.
HTML :
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
<div id="topbar">
<div id="topbartext">$10 SHIPPING TO THE USA FOR ALL ORDERS OVER $150*++ FREE SHIPPING AND RETURNS ON AUSTRALIAN ORDERS OVER $50* ++ *FULL CONDITIONS
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Percentages is best for this.
If you want the text to remain in one line you can add the following to your html and css:
html...
<div id="topbartext" class="topbartext">
css...
.topbartext {
white-space: nowrap;
}
Note that:
In css it is better practice to use a class (.topbartext) rather than the id (#topbartext).
Using this method will mean that if you make your page narrower than the text you will have a horizontal scrollbar added (not ideal). You are probably better off allowing the text to wrap in which case you will need to remove the height: 25px;.
As suggested above you could use css media queries. That will take some googling to learn.
If I'm understanding you correctly you can also use a min-width: 820px on the body. This will ensure your body never gets below a certain width it will provide a horizontal scrollbar if it gets smaller than that.
html,body {
min-width: 820px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
Demo Fiddle
Demo Fiddle Fullscreen
You can use media queries to alter the content styles based on parameters like screen size.
Here's a demo using your example that shrinks the text and allows the #topbar to expand when the screen is smaller than 800px wide (when the text starts to wrap).
For instance:
/* Normal styles that apply all the time*/
p {
font-size:1em;
}
/* Media query that applies if the display media is a screen
and the condition between the brackets is met */
#media screen and (max-width:600px) {
p {
font-size:0.6em;
}
}
You are trying to fit in a lot of text though, you may be better off allowing the surrounding div to expand by removing the fixed height:
#topbar { height:25px; };
If you want to fit all your content on a small screen, this is probably the way to go.
Have you tried using JavaScript? I am not sure what you want since you are setting the top bar container to have fixed height which means the text will be out of the container if you do not resize the height. Here is some script to force the width (or height) to full window size (I had trouble with percentage also):
function resizeTopBar() {
var width = window.innerWidth;
var height = window.innerHeight;
var target = document.getElementById("topbar");
target.style.width = width + "px";
}
window.onresize = function() {
resizeTopBar();
}
The script will not change the way it works (the text will stack on each other) since you never change the height. If you want the height to wrap, remove height: 25px; from topbar.
Screenshot:
You can try this:-
#topbartext {font-size: 1em;}
#media only screen and (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 479px){
#topbartext{ font-size:25%;}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){
#topbartext{font-size:50%;}
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px){
#topbartext{ font-size:50%;}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 960px){
#topbartext{ font-size:70%;}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 1280px){
#topbartext{ font-size:100%;}
}
