I have this very simple web that I developed. I used all the codingand tips provided in similar questions here but with no luck. The web runs ok and its validated, but divs do not resize to fit phones. Can anybody give it a quick look and give me some pointers? much appreciated.
Here is the HTML code:
#import url(//db.onlinewebfonts.com/c/03af38e6d90add293d43f1ef74ce755f?family=Adieu+Light);
#font-face {
font-family: "Adieu Light";

The reason of your div is not resizable it's because h1 tag.
You can try modify your css file with this:
/* Media Queries: Tabled Portrait */
#media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
#primary { width:100%; }
#secondary { width:100%; margin:0; border:none; }
h1 {font-size: 7vw;} /* <- HERE */
}
However, your code isn't semantic. Try to improve this with the time.
I would comment as I am not sure if this is the right answer, but unfortunetly I am not allowed to.
I don't want to offend you or your experience level but it seems like you do not know how css works? Or maybe you just copied without looking.
You use the media queries to make the website responsive pretty much. Depending on your needs of course.
The easiest way to make divs respeonsive is giving them a width with %. So if you give them lets say 90% they will only get 900px wide when the screen (or window) is 1000px etc.
When you use media queries, because maybe the divs need to be smaller or bigger or you use absolute numbers (like pixel or so) you also need to use your classes and IDs.
Right now in your media queries I see two IDs "primary" and "secondary" because with # you declare this is an ID and in your HTML I dont see any IDs at all. So how is the browser supposed to know, where to apply your CSS?
Now, I dont claim to be a professional CSS user, so it is possible that "#primary" is some sort of special command, but as of right now, I would say there is at least one of your problems.
You also use alot of flex and I dont really know why? You could also work a bit on your HTML, using containers, sections, articles and such, but thats another story.
i agree with bibleblade, and i would like to add that its pretty weird that you use "screen" and sometimes just dont add it. maybe try to be a bit more consistent with that. and plus, by adding "screen" youre stating that this will only look like this, if its on a screen, so it wont work on a printer, which is pretty unnecessary, so i would just remove the "screen" so it defaults to "all" and the last media queries at the bottom for the font-size. are unnecessary, since you could just make the font-size relative to the screen via vw or vh or just use something like clamp
it would seem this question has been asked many times over different websites with no real "ah-ha!" answer. I'm still very new and I understand there's a million different ways to code this but I'm hoping for a very simple solution that won't require me to rewrite my code.
It's my understanding this is the inherent nature of parallax, people either have had to crop the images to make them work or have had to do very large workarounds to solve the issue that parallax inherently zooms in or messes with the dimension of the original picture, no matter the orientation on the page (in my case, I'd like to keep it on the left side of the screen, with the text on the right being the scrolling element, haven't gotten around to it but having the nav bar on the top right-half of the page is my next project).
The dimensions of the picture are 1341x2063; I've heard to people setting max-height 2063px; min-height 1341px;. Tried that, didn't work.
I threw up an imgur link for the actual picture I'm working with inside my code, here's a screenshot of what it's looking like on my end: https://imgur.com/lVrQgrQ
My html has my parallax's css inline and I'd like to keep it that way as it's easy for me to understand without having to rework a ton of items.

When the background-attachment is set to fixed, it gets fixed relative to the viewport. This is to achieve the parallax effect. The browser does this while keeping the aspect ratio. So to prevent the looks of a stretched or zoomed image you can just crop your image or play around with the background-size css value.
.parallax {
background-size: 100% 65%;
}
The only setting you have to change is the second value, this will help you fix the stretchy or zoomed effect on the image, an other suggestion you might check is set background-size to cover.
Just to add, adding background-size: 'auto auto' worked for me. Having it set to 'cover' was causing a huge zoom effect. This fixed it.

If anyone sees anything I might have overlooked, or if there's a better solution, please let me know thanks
Using the IE11 developer-tools emulator to mimick IE8, I'm seeing two main differences:
no rounded corners;
columns aren't floating side-by-side;
The border radius can't be fixed easily and doesn't really affect performance, so I hope you're okay with ignoring that.
The column floats are what's making it look really ugly, and thankfully that's easy to fix.
You're creating your columns with the following rule:
#media only screen and (min-width: 481px){
.col {
float: left;
}
}
The problem is the "only" keyword. That keyword is designed to prevent browsers that don't recognize media queries from applying that style. That includes IE8. It reads it as a media query for a media type named "only"; it doesn't recognize that type, so it doesn't apply the style. If you remove the keyword:
#media screen and (min-width: 481px){
.col {
float: left;
}
}
Then IE8 reads that as #media screen blah,blah,blah. It ignores the stuff it doesn't understand and applies the rule to all screens regardless of their width.
For IE8, that's probably okay, since nobody's using IE8 on a handheld device. And if their screen is too narrow, that's okay since it just means the floated elements will end up one after another, the way they are without the floats.
It's possible that the change will also affect some older handheld devices that don't recognize min-width type media queries, but again, floats are pretty flexible.
One more thing: even when I added in a float property to your columns, the third column wasn't fitting in a row with the others. Two possible culprits: either IE8 is automatically adding in padding or margins somewhere you're not expecting, or they are rounding lengths up to the next pixel and that's throwing off your addition. A little bit of playing around with those settings should get them all side-by-side. If you make your last column float right instead of left, you can get away with making the margins slightly smaller without ruining the rectangular lines of the design.
I am designing a website for my father and so far I'm midway the index page only.
What is bugging me that when I zoom out to around 30% (just for tests sake) The divs are broken and they end up out of place (will show you an example). Also even the divs do not stay as one "whole entity"
I tried basically everything, the min-width (which is 965px). Is there a way to make it round up Percentage wise sort of? If so, how can it be made considering that the width max-width has to be 965px?
My website is mainly for PCs.
Also I am using HTML5 and CSS3
There is one outer div which puts the whole body into a "box"
Warning: My header is in a PHP so is the footer and then I just load them. I will be posting both the header.php and the generalbackground CSS

Result of Zooming out to 30%
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/571/y1bw.jpg/
PS: BROWSER Currently Testing and using is GOOGLE CHROME: Version 29.0.1547.66 m
thanks
best practice would be
.bodyoutline
{
position: relative;
min-width: 1366px;
max-width: 2048px;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 100%;
}
This will make your all elements be in the div and always aligned regardless of zoom-in or zoom-out.
What I found best people is to use the MEDIA QUERIES
By Simply adding
#media (max-width: 600px)
{
//All the CSS [classes] to be effected by the change in screen will be written here for e.g
h1
{
font-size:20px;
}
}
When the screen is 600px or smaller (or zoomed out) the font-size of h1 will change to 20px whereas ALL the other CSS will stay as originally written (as it is the parent)
In other words:
Media queries will ONLY affect those classes written between the media queries (will overwrite the original)
I want a dynamic webpage that looks nearly identical to this one that is for sale:
So I bought and implemented the US state map but it's becoming too small on my webpage:
I want the map to be larger. How can it be done? The entire code is large so I've taken out the relevant part that displays the map and I've taken out all the SVG data from this code block

I'm a newbie with SVG and the code is large and I acquired it so I'm not very familiar with what's implemented in the page, it's just supposed to be a selection of states on an HTML 5 map, so we got this SVG map that suits of requirements except that it's rendering too small. Can you give me a hint where I should change to make the efault rendering of the map larger? Is it the CSS or the HTML? The CSS that I acquired from the map's manuifacturer is:
/* reset */
form {display:block; margin:0; padding:0;} body, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, p, blockquote, /* structural elements structure element */dl, dt, dd, ul, ol, li, /* list elements list element */pre, /* text formatting elements text format element */fieldset, lengend, button, input, textarea, /* form elements */th, td { /* table elements */ margin: 0; padding: 0;} table th,table td {padding:1px} /* */body,button, input, select, textarea { /* for ie */ /*font: 12px/1 Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;*/ font: 12px/1 arial,verdana,tahoma,sans-serif; /* */}h1 { font-size: 18px; /* 18px / 12px = 1.5 */ }h2 { font-size: 16px; }h3 { font-size: 14px; }h4, h5, h6 { font-size: 100%; }address, cite, dfn, em, var { font-style: normal; } /* */code, kbd, pre, samp, tt { font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; } /* */small { font-size: 12px; } /* *//* */ul, ol { list-style: none; }/* */a { text-decoration: none; color:#049;}a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }abbr[title], acronym[title] { /* ：1.ie6 abbr; 2.，ie6 */ border-bottom: 1px dotted; cursor: help;}q:before, q:after { content: ''; }/* */legend { color: #000; } /* for ie6 */fieldset, img { border: none; } /* img *//* ：optgroup */button, input, select, textarea { font-size: 100%; /* */}/* */table { border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0;}/* hr */hr { border: none; height: 1px;} .clear{ clear:both;}

n Internet Explorer, the map is large is my page is nearly correct except that the map is not to the left, it is below the state listings:
Update
Fiddle with selfcontained example of problem, I believe what is happening is that my CSS is shadowing itself.
Update 2
I've managed to take it from scratch and resize the map but I don't fuly understand why doubling the last two parameters of the viewBoxattribute actually makes the map smaller. What I'm getting now is starting to look acceptable:
In general, you want to set the viewBox="…" attribute for your SVG to bound your content, and then scale the SVG element as you wish.

Note that I have a copyright-free optimized US SVG map available: http://phrogz.net/SVG/USMap.svg
Your CSS is setting the height to 674px (on my screen at least) and width to 64% of it's parent container (#mapcontainer). This turns out to be a tall and narrow shape. The browser is scaling the map to fit in that narrow container, which is what is making it look tiny (on Chrome at least).
Try the following:
Work out why #mapcontainer is not using all the available space.
Ensure #mapcontainer has a similar aspect ratio to the SVG viewBox (540:360).
Don't try to change the width and height of the SVG, just leave it at 100% and let it fill its container.
It's possible you might have more luck embedding the SVG using an <object> element. Rather than using inline SVG. If all else fails, try that.
