I know a lot of people ask questions on this, but I have a spacing problem with my divs.
My main div tag of my web page is 1024px. The problem is that on smaller screens part of my
page gets cut off and you have to scroll horizontally. How do I fix that so that the page will
fit in any window? (especially the smaller ones)
I do not want to use the width:100% property cause I already defined the width as 1024px.
Here is my main div tag's properties:
<div id="main" style=" margin: 0 auto; padding-top: 50px; width:1024px;">
my content.....
</div>
A more common width for a Web page is 960px just to avoid the problem you are encountering. Sorry, the only way to fit your page into those smaller screens is to reduce the width for your main div.
If you are using a fixed width, in this case 1024px, you cannot make the page fit in any window.
You should have a read of Responsive Web Design which explains how to incorporate flexibility into your design.
I'm assuming you don't want it wider than 1024px? If so, set the max-width property on it:
#main {
max-width: 1024px;
}
then, it will fit the screen, but not go larger than 1024.

I've been searching in other questions since this is a pretty common problem but none of them applied to my case.
I'm developing a small web app with React, just to get the basics, and the background img works fine in mobile view (there's a media query that changes it at 480px to a portrait one) it resizes from 480px to 320 and looks good.
The problem is that, at certain heights if you stretch or wide the window the background gets stucked in the middle of it (if you recharge the page it appears as it should, being the window in the same exact place as where the problem occurs).
The img is loaded through CSS in the html, If I remove the background-size property it works as expected in desktop and mobile, but when I cross the 1260px width it doesnt cover the full width.
I have this codesandbox with all my code: https://codesandbox.io/s/stoic-brahmagupta-ro2kb?file=/src/style.css
And I attach an image of the problem. Thanks in advance.
As u r testing this you can see the content of the App is overflowing the html element
I rather use min-height on global elements like body or html than static height to prevent such as cases.
So to fix it you just simply add
html {
height: auto;
min-height: 100vh;
To prevent not overflowing instead of scaling we just add min-height equaly of 100vh (viewport height).
I think it will propably do the job without height: auto; but i like add it to prevent even more edge casing
Demo
I want to make responsiveness behaviour like at this site.
There is meta viewport content set to width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, but if i resize browser vieport size by reducing its width (about 200px width and smaller), content scales proportionally and responsiveness "swithes off".
You can compare this site and jsFiddle demo with picture below. The same text with the same font-size, but scales differently.
UPD
I need to know how can i set 20px font size and it will scale proportionally like without using meta viewport. Try to make a <h1> with meta viewport and without one, you will understand what i mean
Your question is unclear, but assuming you're talking about the fact that on your demo, the content is blocking its resize after a certain minimum width:
It is important to understand the function of the meta viewport.
The viewport is the user's visible area of a web page.
The viewport varies with the device, and will be smaller on a mobile phone than on a computer screen.

This function prevents a user to zoom in or out on your website. The code you give us says that the width of your webpage must be the width of the parent viewport (equal to your browser's viewable area), that the initial zoom has to be 1 (that means no initial zoom is set) and that the maximum scale can be 1 (that means no zooming in allowed).
The fact that your website is responsive until a certain minimum width hasn't any direct link to the meta viewport.
The responsiveness of a website is based on what's called breakpoints in CSS. This gives certain CSS rules based on the viewport properties (in responsive cases: if the screen's width is between a certain minimum amount of px and a maximum amount). According to what I can understand, you actually need to set the CSS min-width attribute to your website's body like this:
body {
min-width: 300px; /*You'll have to set the value you wish here*/
}
The next thing you have to do is choose how you will handle screens smaller than 300px. There are two options after this:
You can choose to force-give your webpage the device's width and prevent horizontal scrolling but this will hide all the overflow. I personally suggest not to use this technique. For doing this, you'll need to hide all html's overflow with this CSS: html {max-width: 100vw; overflow-X: hidden;}.
The other (better) option is to give your webpage the minimum required width. This will allow horizontal scrolling and a better user experience. To do so, use this CSS code: html {min-width: 300px; overflow-X: visible;} (remember to replace 300px with your desired minimum width).
This should be all for now. Remember that there are hundreds of guides for responsive web design available. Hope your issue is solved.
The solution was simple. I needed just set body min-width
I'm trying to build a site with an initial 'landing page' look that you'd then scroll down from to see the rest of the content.
I can easily create a div that will fit the screen on the device I'm currently using, but how can I code for other devices of different screen sizes?
I've tried using '100%' which of course works initially but then continues to fill the screen when you scroll. I've tried defining a specific aspect ratio but again, that will only work for the screen I'm working on.
To be clear, I want the div, or img to fill the screen when a user first lands, then when the user scrolls the div/img should move up with the rest of the page.
I want to achieve this using only HTML or CSS.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
You can use vw and vh on the first <div> to fill the viewport. You can use this for reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/length
This'll do the trick:
.full-page-container {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
vw and vh units represent a percentage of the viewport size. Hence 100vh will mean 100% of the viewport height and won't be affected by scrolling.
I am trying to fix the web layout of my web page such that it does not resize or rearrange .
for example , check the page at http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/fixedwidthlayout.html
. On my browser(chrome), when i resize the window along x-axis, the text rearranges to accomodate within viewable area.
On the other hand, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255008(v=vs.85).aspx
when i resize the window along x-axis, the text does not rearrange to accomodate itself. I need my web page to NOT rearrange as in the latter case. Not able to isolate the attribute which controls this. I tried position:absolute in the body tag. No luck
You have a fluid layout. All your columns have their width set in percents. So, when the browser size changes, the columns's width changes too. Lets say one of your container has a width of 15%. When the browser window width is 2000px, this container's size will be counted as 15% from 2000px = 300px; on the other device, where width is 1200px, it will be 180px.
The fastest way to fix it to change width to px;
Another way is to set min-width property, - then the container can
act as a fluid, but at some point it won't go smaller. For example:
.columnt {
width: 15%;
min-width: 200px;
}
Hope you get the idea.
So I have the following page with a navbar: http://michigangurudwara.com/pclass/
and it doesn't look bad, but when you resize the browser, everything overlaps. What I want is for the navbar to fill up the whole width and then when the screen is resized a scroll bar should pop up, but when I do width:100% in the .navbar class, this doesn't happen. The only way to get a scroll bar is with an absolute width. But if I do that, I can't take up the entire screen width for different monitor sizes. How would I do this?
Set a minimum width...
.navbar {
min-width: 1000px; }
Anything less than that will cause the scroll bar to appear.
This is certainly a different style to navigation, to have the nav bar always the same width could make large issues for many users. A better approach is to set the page width to say 1000px; and then have auto sizing margins on either side.
.navbar{
width:1000px;
margin:auto;
}
However if your determined to do it this way then you could always get the browser width with Javascript and then use that to set a dynamic width variable.
I was also going to suggest minimum-width:100%; but I think you'd still come across the same issue.
The problem is when using percent the template will re-size to the browser width where as pixels will always represent an absolute value as you mention.
