I've been asked to see if I can solve this issue. Another dev wrote the page, using a mishmash of percentages and px values for margins, padding, dimensions etc. These values are sprinkled both inline and in the css file. It was meant to be deployed on a set of tablets with a 1920x1080 resolution. However, the actual devices are running 1024x600. As you can guess, this has thrown everything out of whack. As of now, I'm guessing I'll be spending the next few hours changing the values to percentages. Is there any other way to do this?
To clarify, I don't need to make it responsive. This is a page that would only be viewed on a 1920x1080 screen but now will only be viewed on a 1024x600 screen.
This is a little dirty, but it will work:
html {
zoom:0.5;
}
your webpage will be zoomed to 50%. You can add media-queries so it only uses the zoom on specific screen widths
This is a very 'hacky' solution, but what finally worked was creating a new web page containing nothing but an iframe hardcoded with the original resolution settings (inline CSS height and width). The content of that iframe is the page that was to be resized. This entire thing was then imported into android studio and then exported as an apk. When that apk was installed and run, it worked. I'm not sure why, but it did work, so we left it at that.

I'm having an issue with my site displaying the contents of an iframe properly (it's a dashboard from Metabase if anyone is familiar with that).
On my large monitor the dashboard shows fine, however on my 13-in laptop some of the numbers are obscured by an arrow. This is only the case in Chrome, as Firefox doesn't have the issue.
When I take the zoom down to 90% everything shows flawlessly on the 13-in resolution, however I don't want my users to have to manually zoom out just to make the page appear properly.
I've used all kinds of zoom, transform, and scale options to get this looking right but whenever I get it working on the small resolution it just breaks on the larger one. And the CSS code doesn't seem to be the same zoom as if you do it manually through Chrome, if that makes sense. It just doesn't work the same way.
I'm not sure what to do except maybe have the screen size auto adjust for a smaller resolution to 90% but I'm not sure how to do that or if it's even possible.
Any ideas for what I can do?
You can use different CSS code for different screen resolutions using #media tags.
You could also try the CSS zoom property on the html or body tag, but some people don't recommend it.
I hope the title makes sense. Making an element with a set width and height, I found out that it's much smaller than I expected on mobile and also on Chrome's responsive view on the dev tools.
The reason seems to be that apparently even though a screen is supposed to be, let's say, 320px wide, the body of the webpage is over 900px wide and the width of my element gets reduced accordingly. On desktop devices that doesn't happen and it works alright.
This only happens in some webpages and I don't know the difference. What I'm making is an element that is supposed to be embedded by copy/pasting the code so I can't fix the code of the webpages, just the element itself.
What can I do and why could this be? Thanks a lot.
I'm building a website using WordPress. Although the pages are well suited for Mobile site, this particular page is displayed very congested. This is the page from the website website - http://www.cyberfosters.com/anspress/
If you click F12 using Chrome browser on this page and toggle the "Device Mode" you'll see how it appears on a mobile device, I'm going through the CSS files to find out what needs to be changed but I can't seem to find out.
What I want is that the page should appear on a mobile as it does on the website but just scaled down.
I was looking at your html and css and the problem seems to be very simple, your site is not build to small deviced because it uses a mix of width values in PX and %, the design must be set in % to work well on multiple devices without using special pages for mobiles and other for pc this is my recomendation.
Example if you put a 1090px image on a 800px screen resolution it will just not work so what we do is to set image width value to 100% in this case and so on that way the images get auto resized the easy way. Do the same with tables images divs spans etc
I have done about 20 websites which included the Business Catalyst gallery module. This is the first one that I'm having problems with and I don't know why. Please check out: http://topspindenver.businesscatalyst.com/gallery.html.
You will notice that if you make the window smaller, the gallery thumbnails start overflowing the window. In every other website that I've done, the gallery was responsive within the specified skeleton columns, and the thumbnails automatically get smaller, like on this site: http://mountaingardendiva.com/.
Does anyone know why this is happening only on this site? I have already tried specifically targeting the table that the thumbnails sit in and given it a max-width:100%, but it didn't work.
I'm guessing you're using Firefox to view this site and noticing this problem for the first time, because it looks fine in Chrome. It has to do with how Firefox computes the width of a table and the max-width of images within the table. You can solve the problem by applying a max-width to td.photogalleryitem with each media query that changes the page width.
It does work in Chrome, but to make it work in FireFox try setting the css on your images to width:100% instead of max-width:100%
I've got a little problem with one of the sites I've developed. The problem is quiet simple, however the solution seems to be a bit harder.
The problem
The problem is that the page is being rendered as it should be on a mobile device at first, but right after the pageload is finished, the page resizes to fit the viewport. Nothing strange, this happens at almost every non-responsive website. But the strange thing is that only 75% of the available width is being used.
I already compared the based/sliced version of the design with the production version. The based version does render as it should (100% width). I've tried to spot the differences in the CSS, but I can only find a couple, I tried resetting those, but that didn't work.
Also, I've tried to disable the javascript (it's only Lightbox and 1 JqueryUI "AddClass" effect). The javascript effect has only 1 task: after pageload the header will be resized from 480px to 220px height. There are no changes being made to the width of any element on the page.
Last but not least I started Adobe Edge Inspect and took a look on the pagesource of the mobile device. But unfortunately I can't spot any element on the page that exceeds the width of the "body" tag. The only one exceeding the width is the header image, but the image is within a div (100% width) with overflow:hidden
Based and production version
If anyone would be so kind to take a look at what messes up the rendering, that would be awesome. I can't seem to find out what is causing the issue.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to look into this issue.
Your problem was caused by the facepile code:
<div
class="fb-facepile"
data-href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Funq/113332665510819"
data-size="large"
data-max-rows="1"
data-width="450"
></div>
More info:
As soon as the facepile cannot be loaded due to the invalid login, the page becomes resized. As soon as I log in to facebook and the facepile is shown, the page is stretched the way it should. I just have to find out what is causing the weird scaling, because if there's no facepile, it's a 0x0 div/iframe, etc.
Solutions:
I have tried a couple of things. Onload or Onready events, and hiding or removing the facepile code. In the end, neither of these options worked. The scaling happened before the facepile was loaded completely. The final solution is a javascript workaround, checking if there's a mobile device, if so, then disable the facepile code:
if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) == false ) {
document.write('<fb:facepile href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Funq/113332665510819" size="large" max_rows="1" show_count="false" width="450" class="facepile"></fb:facepile>');
}
I found the way to detect if the browser is mobile in this answer:
What is the best way to detect a mobile device in jQuery?
I tried native browser, Firefox and Dolphin on Android 2.3.7.
Both pages render at 100% zoom, and the zoom does not change after the page is loaded completely.
I believe this problem is specific to the software of your device.
