I like it when the adress bar disappears on my iphone when i visit a website. This can be done by a minimal height. I try to do this a proper way with css.
If i use this, then it goes fine, except i don't find this friendly for other phones (the value is a bit extreme now..):
body {
min-height: 9000px;
}
If i use this, then it doesn't work.
body {
min-height: max-device-height;
}
what is a good way to deal with this problem?
i would use this javascript:
var height = screen.availHeight;
element.style.setAttribute("min-height", height + 'px', false);
for element u have to use the element u want to set of course...
You can use max-device-height, but only in media queries, like this:
#media only screen and (max-device-height: 500px) {
min-height: 500px;
}
(more examples here: https://mislav.net/2010/04/targeted-css/)
It will however take a lot of rules to do this for all phones.
I think it's better to try to set html, body {min-height: 100%;}. That rule will try to make the min-height 100% of the window height. Possibly, the address bar only disappears if the size is larger than the normal viewport. In that case, you may need a value that is a little larger, like 101% or maybe 110%, which is certainly less extreme than 9000px.

Im really struggling to articulate what im trying to achieve, please bear with me on this..
I've got a small "widget" on the left and side of my page.
This work fine on bigger screens.
For example, the widget is say 300px wide in the style.
However, If i load the page on a mobile or shrink the window, This becomes unfeasably small.
How do i get it to automatically change from 300px to full 100% width if a "smaller" viewspace is observed?
So say, i shrink my window , it would suddenly jump to be 100% wide rather than 300px? ( or similar)
Any ideas?
Sorry if I haven't explained it well enough. I've googled and nothing really sticks out that achieves what im doing.. maybe im not looking for the correct terms.. In a bit of a i dont know what i dont know to google it.
Cheers
What you're trying to say is "How can I make my website responsive?". You can do that with the CSS Media Queries. Check the link and google for more informations.
To give you an idea, just try this:
.my-class{
color: white;
background: black;
width: 300px;
}
#media (max-width: 600px) {
.my-class {
width: 100%;
}
}
<div class="my-class">
Some text!
<div/>
The break point here is at 600px, for large screens you have the width of the div is at 300px, for small screens you'll get the width taking 100%. (Try to resize the width of the current window while running the snippet to understand how it works).
edit: you can also use as the following style (the idea is in the min-width), if this is what you're looking for.
my-class{
width: 300px;
min-width: 100%; /* or 100vw depending on what you want */
}
Apparently,you are using the CSS-Unit "px". If you want to have a size relative to the screen, the units %, vw and vh would be useful.
% is relative to the parent element, which is probably the whole document, so you could work with that as a relative unit.
vh represents the percentage of the viewports heigth, so you could use it for the heigth of your widget
vw represents the percentage of the viewports width, so you could use it for the width of your widget
These were just some examples, if you want to learn more about the CSS Units, go to https://www.w3schools.com/CSSref/css_units.asp
I hope I could help you.
However, if you want to keep your px unit you can use the media query, as already mentioned by Il Saggio Vecchino. This allows you to have a different design at different devices.
Also take a look at https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp
I'm doing the first project for The Odin Project, which is recreating the Google home page. I think mine looks pretty good considering I've only been at this for a few weeks, but when I take my page out of fullscreen mode, a scrollbar appears. If you look at the Google homepage, The page itself resizes instead of using a scrollbar. Overflow:hidden obviously will just cut off the bottom of the page, so I don't want that. I'm sorry if I'm not being specific enough, but here's a link to my Github to check it out.
And if you see anything that I'm doing completely wrong or messy, I'd really love some criticism.
I haven't had a look at your GitHub, but I would suggest incorporating bootstrap, which basically lets you develop pages responsive to the screen size.
You might find this tutorial helpful:
https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/
After a quick look through your Github, you are setting a min-width: 500px to your all class which contans all your content. Try setting your all class width: 100% instead. This will allow your content to fill the page and adjust as the screen size adjusts.
Granted, once you get really small and content hits each-other they will break to other lines, but you would have to handle that with a media-query to adjust the size/scaling etc...
.all {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 100%;
}
Actually, all I had to do was remove all your .all styles to fix this issue. I also fixed your footer so it sticks to the bottom of the page. Finally, if you want to make the input size well, use media queries like so:
#media (max-width: 500px /* or whatever */) {
input {
width: 80%;
}
}
This will set the input's width to 80% at screen sizes 500px and smaller. Hre's a pen of what I changed: https://codepen.io/Hudson_Taylor11/pen/pemaoK?editors=0100
I am working on this test page:
http://problemio.com/index_test.php
It looks ok on my laptop screen. But it looks terrible on my phone browser. Especially the images look like a mess.
What can be done to make sure the images look ok?
Thanks,
Alex
Omega has the right idea, but you want to set the width parameter as well. I usually set the width to a percentage value, and max-width to a pixel value. That way, once it has gotten past the max width, it essentially throws that aside, and only looks at the width. Something along the lines of this
img {
max-width:500px; /*Once screen size is smaller than 500px, the image reverts to the width value*/
width:100%;
}
JSFiddle
Use media queries to style elements for mobile devices. With images use percentages along with max-width and min-width values too.
#media screen and (max-width:480px) {
//CSS sizes for mobiles only
}
Don't set pixel messurements for your images and use this css instead for img tags:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
I am trying to convert my website index page to be adjustable. I want the whole conent of the page to be adjustable. By adjustable I mean if some one opens the page in a new window and try to resize the window by dragging it with mouse, the content of my page also adjust itself according to the width and height of the window.
Is it possible using only CSS or I have to use some javascript as well?
What I need is something like [this][1]
Any help or advice will be highly appriciated
Thanks
What you want to do is to Responsive Design
For example you can make your css target a particular devise as:
//General css
/*MEDIA BETWEEN 300 - 1000PX */
#media all and (min-width:300px) and (max-width:1000px)
{
}
/*MEDIA BETWEEN 621 - 800PX */
#media all and (min-width:621px) and (max-width:800px)
{
}
/*MEDIA BETWEEN 300 - 620PX */
#media all and (min-width:300px) and (max-width:620px)
{
}

http://www.onextrapixel.com/2012/04/23/responsive-web-design-layouts-and-media-queries/
NOTE: use em and % instead of px and pt
Just set relative widths on stuff, like width: 75%; or width: 60%; instead of width: 450px; or width: 650px;. This will work for you if you just need elements to get narrower/wider as the page is resized.
If you want major layout changes (like on the demo you provided, the top menu bar becomes a sidebar when the window becomes smaller), you'll need some Javascript to switch stylesheets based on the width of the window. Hope this gives you some ideas!
What you are talking about is called "Responsive Design".
A responsive site works more with percentages instead of pixels as well as something called "media-queries" in css.
There is a great article about it here:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/
I have a webpage with the following layout: http://jsfiddle.net/h9Nn3/6/ and it looks exactly like I want it to as long as the user's browser is wide enough (over 700px or so) but if it is thinner than that it starts to get all jumbled up and if the browser is only half the screen which somewhat normal then it looks terrible. What would the best way to fix this be?
I think the best thing would be if the items simply moved down as opposed to overlapping.
You can use min-width, as #anjunatl pointed out, or you can use CSS3 media queries.
They let you tweak the CSS for any resolution range you want:
body {
color: red;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 700px) {
body {
color: blue;
}
}
When the user's browser is less than 700px wide, the new CSS is put into effect and overrides the old CSS. You can use this to your advantage and basically fix any bugs you find with the website by adding new rules into the media query block. That way, they only show up and fix the layout at the right resolution.
Add this CSS to the body tag: min-width: 700px;
