Here is the site in question: www.prestigedesigns.com
The problem is that my header and footer won't stretch to their assigned 100% but only on iPhone/iPad.
I've tried what I think is everything and I could really use some help? Is there anyone else that has a similar issue?
Thanks.
It's kind of a viewport issue with mobile Safari, but you can get the same effect by shrinking the width of your desktop browser window and scrolling right, you'll see your background starts dropping out.
This is because when you're setting width:100% to your #top and #header divs, you're telling them to resize to the width of the containing element, which in this case is the browser window, (or viewport). You're not telling them to resize to the content within.
Mobile Safari's default viewport width is 980px, so it uses 980px as the width of the containing element for your divs. This is why your layout, which is around 1050px, is getting its background chopped off.
You can fix this for mobile Safari by directly setting its viewport (read Apple's Docs), or by adding min-width:width of your design in pixels; to your body. Mobile Safari will use the min-width's value for setting its viewport, and it'll also keep it from happening in desktop browsers as well.
Set the viewport to adapt your page on any device.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
Set min-width:(Width of your design)px; in CSS file and this issue will be solved.
it's not assigned width: 100% the header is getting width: 1009px; same thing with the footer.
Just a hunch as I can't actually test it, but the foot element you have within footbar is set to an absolute width in pixels while the footbar is set to % - the same with your header element - try switching these to % too?

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.
-Source
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've looked at many "mysterious white-space at bottom of page" issues here on SO, and played with the viewporttag many times, but I still cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong!
The page in question is: http://www.seniorchoicesunl.com/error_documents/error401.php
Here's what it looks like on mobile from Chrome Dev Tools:
Any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Edit:
setting ANY initial-scale is bad news! It makes the font too tiny!
Take a look:
The desired mobile look, while keeping the desktop and tablets as-is, is this:
P.S. Fixing this issue could reciprocally fix other related issues I'm having with other webpages.
Add this on top of your css file :)
html,body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
it fixed the bug for me.
What's going on here:
You've set width=device-width, this makes the layout size on your page equal to the device's screen width. i.e. making an element 100% will give it the same width as the screen.
Chrome infers the layout height using the width and screen's aspect ratio. i.e. height=width/aspectRatio
The sub_container_div element actually ends up being much wider than the layout width of the page. In my case on a Nexus 6, the device-width is 412px while the sub_container_div is 594px wide.
Since the content is wider than device-width, Chrome allows zooming out and loads the page at the minimum zoom level but this doesn't change the layout width/height so height 100% only fills device-width/aspect ratio pixels, which doesn't fill the zoomed out viewport.
The correct way to fix this is to make sure all your content is contained by the layout size. In your case, the reason the sub_container_div is wider than the layout size is that your padding/margins cause it to expand outside the parent. The solution is to add box-sizing: border-box to the sub_container_div and dialog elements and width: 100% to sub_container_div. That way, Chrome can't zoom out and you can't see outside the layout box (in HTML spec language, that's the initial containing block).
I had the same issue on Chrome 77
I fixed the problem by removing height: 100vh on the body tag.
This seems to fix the problem:
Change <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> to <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">.
Override width: 25em; on .sub_container_div in your mobile CSS so that the container scales with the width of the view.
If you do not want the font to scale, it seems just adding initial-scale=0 will work as well. However, this will make the text very hard to read. You can play around with different scales, but it seems just setting it will fix your issue.
In my case one element was too long for a mobile screen and it broke the webflow. After I shortened the width of the long element, the extra white screen was also removed from the footer.
I currently have a website where I'd like the main body portion of the page and footer (below the header image and navigation bar) to always take up the available view space, but to expand below this if there's more content. I've been setting min-height of my container of class mainbody to a calc() function. The HTML and CSS have been tested and behave correctly in Safari and Chromium, however it fails to behave as intended on Firefox. The problem is most apparent on the Alumni page, which has no content at the moment, and also occurs on the Media page on a large enough screen . Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
100% height means 100% of the height of the content. To be honest, I don't know why it works in chromium and not in firefox.
What you need is 100% of the viewport. There are cool vw and vh units for that. (See availability.).
If you change min-height to min-height: calc(100vh - 268px) !important;, it will work.
If you want old style solution, you can google 100% height css, e.g. enter link description here
P.S.: Also fix your CSS.
I'm working on this page and I'm having a issue with the DIV where sliders are. This div#home-slider has a height: 350px as you may notice and it works fine for large resolutions but since the page is responsive, when I resize the window or see the page from a tablet or smartphone a white row appears just below the sliders and it's caused by the height value since it doesn't change. Can any give me a solution for change the height or tell me if there is a CSS solution or hack for this? What would yours do in this case?
Have you tried to change the height to 100%?
I would remove the height declaration.
I was testing a website: This Website
When I stumbled upon the following problem. everything looks correct in all browsers I tesded on my computer (IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox etc...) but When I test this website on iPad, in safari browser I get strange margin at the right side, I can't show a screenshot, but in a nutshell image all website page like you see it on computer, but shifted to the left side (so there is blank space on the right side). Can anyone suggest what is causing this?
EDIT:
I noticed that this margin is somehow affected by margin of arrows that you can see on the sides (used to list through slides). Styles of the buttons have following id's
#prevslide and #nextslide
EDIT2:
As code is very long, I will post links to stylesheets used in website here.
Slideshow stylesheets, #prevslide, #nextslide style rules can be found in second stylesheet
Style1
Style2
And main stylesheet I use to style how website looks, however I dont think that the problem lies within it.
Main Style
It looks like your problem is because of the combination of % and pixels in your css.
For example, your .header wrapper is set to 100%, but the .in-header inside it is set to 1020px. This is fine as long as your browser window is wider than 1020px, but when it shrinks, .header is sizing itself in relation to the browser window, and .in-header isn't.
Set the min-width property on your body element so it won't ever reduce below the size of your main page elements:
body {
min-width: 1020px;
}
You'll need to set a meta tag in the header for the ipad (and mobile):
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
This instructs the browser to set the page body to match the tablet size. I'm not 100% sure this is the exact setting you want, but I don't have my iPad handy to test; whatever the solution, it lies in this tag.
