I've been banging my head against the wall over this for hours - when I resize my browsers width (by dragging the browser window's right resize handle) my site maintains that nice responsive centered effect I want for roughly 1/8th of my browsers window size. However when I drag the browser's right window resize handle from right to left past this point (roughly 1/8th the width of the browser window, when the browser window is taking up the full width of my 1080p screen) my site (header, content, and footer) stops staying centered and the resize handle crops over the site rather than maintaining the responsive centering that I'm looking to achieve.
I've tried applying the "margin: o auto;" trick to the body class and the wrapper class individually and simultaneously, but it doesn't yield the desired results.
I'm really at a loss for ideas here. Can anyone offer some insight please? Thanks!
You need to remove the width from body class and margin also need to set margin:0px;

I was wondering how to keep the size of an element (f.ex a cube) on all devices. And when you resize the browser window the element will keep the same "form", but become smaller. What i mean is so when you resize the browser window horizontally, the element (f.ex cube) will keep the same "form". So it wont be more wide than tall.
I know i got to use percentage and not px on the with and height. But when i do that, the element will of course still be the percentage of the current device or screen. I am very bad at describing, so i'm going to give an example instead: When i made a calculator with HTML and CSS on school it fitted the screen perfectly. But the screen on the school is squared (same width as height). And the screen at home is rectangled (not the same width as height). So the calculator at home is to wide. You understand now? If you didn't please let me know.
Here's a picture of how it looks like on my screen home: Full sized browser window home Resized smaller in width window: Smaller in width browser window at home
And sorry for bad describing.. And english.
I dont know if I get what you mean, but if you do mean "keep aspect ratio" you should try this.
Wrap your element in another container, use padding bottom on the container and make your element occupy all its space.
I 've created a site using Dreamweaver, and all my images have absolute position with % metrics. it expands proportionally on wider screens, but everytime I try to resize and shrink browser window it just becomes a mess with all the images fallen in one narrow window. How can I rebuild my design so it shrinks in a browser window in a way that when it is too small for an element, it just wouldn't fit. Do I have to use fixed pos-ing or any other type of pos-ing? Whats the usual way web designers do the sites?
P.S. my site contains text and abs. images, as well as fixed image that scrolls with the screen. What should I use to keep it that way but make a decent view in all screen sizes?
Use media queries or place a min-width on either the body or the element in question. For example placing min-width:900px on the body will stop the entire body from re-sizing below 900px width. (Note: That is not the responsive way to do things. Media queries are a much better practice)
I have an HTML page that is using Bootstrap to show a weather forecast. This page is ultimately going to be shown inside of an iframe, so it has fixed dimensions. When the width is >= 768px, I want the images to show horizontally. This works fine when you make the browser wider. When the width is <768px, I want the images to stack themselves and shrink so that all of the text and images fit within the dimensions of the iframe. This is where I'm having trouble.
Here's my fiddle. I've used a parent div with fixed dimensions to simulate the iframe, and set its background color to show where the content overflows its parent. What should be showing is the day, followed by the image, followed by the high / low temperature beneath the image. This should then be repeated for Saturday and Sunday. Instead, the content is overflowing its container and being cut off. Also, the text is not showing in the proper order. I want to fix this while still ensuring that the horizontal images don't break when the browser is wider.
It's a bit confusing for me i guess as I'm still unable to understand your question completely. But is that what you are looking for?
http://jsfiddle.net/ALkKB/15/
#media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
#iframe{width:100%; height:auto;}
}
I appreciate all of your help San. I ended up eliminating the use of Bootstrap and just implemented my own CSS media queries based on the orientation of the iframe. I also had to use some Javascript to calculate how much room was left for the images once all of the other data was loaded and displayed.
Thanks again.
I've set width to 100% for all main divs but there is still horizontal scroll-bar. Can't fix that problem. How to remove it? I don't know why it's appearing. Please take a look at my test page. http://aquastyle.az?lang=en
I cannot get your test page to open but this is typically caused when you have padding, a shadow, or a border applied to the 100% width element causing it to render wider than 100%.
Without seeing the page, I can only give the following generic advice: This can be fixed by removing the style properties that are causing the problem or reducing the width until the problem disappears.
EDIT:
After looking at your page, you don't seem to have a problem as you described. You just have too much (too big/wide) content side by side. When I make my browser's window about 1700 pixels wide, the horizontal scroll-bar disappears. This is an issue of poor layout more than programming.
EDIT 2 (The Root Cause/Solution):
It seems that the OP's PHP program is calculating the "display" width and placing content accordingly. The problem is that the "browser window" width is not the same as the "display" width. My display is 1680 pixels wide and the OP's PHP program reports that correctly. Naturally, my browser window is not 1680 pixels wide, more like 1000-1200 pixels, so I get a long horizontal scroll-bar which disappears when I make the browser window exceed 1680 pixels. Taking the width of the vertical scroll-bar into account, you actually have to make the browser window about 20 pixels wider than the display in order to get the horizontal scroll-bar to disappear (for me that was about 1700 pixels total). I imagine the OP can fix this issue by looking at browser's "viewport" (window) width rather than the computer's "display" width.
You'll want to use
overflow:hidden
on the element you're trying to eliminate the scroll bars from.
Or, you could use jQuery:
$("body").css("overflow", "hidden");
EDIT:
Your layout is 1920x1200. I have that resolution right now and I NEVER max out my browser window. It's always 20 to 25% smaller.
Most if not 98% of website layouts are 960px max width. I looked at your CSS (nice try with disabling right-click BTW) and you're left and right columns are both 200px EACH, while your main-content width is 1460px. I think you see where I'm going with this. I'm sorry, but the only way you're going to get no scrollbars is to redo your layout where everything fits in a 1000px layout or less. Preferably less. An important thing to check is the screen resolution stats that help in determining what percentage of users is running at a certain screen resolution. This will help you in targeting your preferred audience.
TL;DR
You gotta redo your entire layout, it's too wide for the majority of users out there..
I've got my site content inside an 800px-wide div, I'd like that div to be centered on the page until the browser window width extends past certain distance. At that point, I'd like the content to "lock" into place and not continue to center itself, staying a fixed amount from the left edge.
For example, if the viewers window is 900px wide, then they will see my 800px content centered. If the viewers window is 1400px wide, they will see my content 400px from the left side, locked in that spot.
You might be thinking this is a weird question to ask, and it is! But it's fairly integral to my design for it to work this way.
Setting the container element's max-width to 1700px (900 + 400 * 2) will ensure that the content is never more than 400px away from the left side, provided that the container is not centered itself.
