Mobile site going slightly outside the device screen width - css

I made this single web page and when I view it my mobile device, and I thumb to the left, the width of the website shifts over slightly, like the left and right edges are not completely contained within the device screen. It doesn't shift around on the DuckDuckGo browser, but it does on Safari. Is anyone aware of how to correct this?
I've used Bootstrap Grid and tried to set the correct element width specifications with CSS.

i think it's about the width of you div with the ID "spinningDial".
She's to big on small device.
Remove it for a test. Then the page width will be perfect on mobile device.
Or you can juste try to change the width of this div for a test (100px for example).

Thanks for the help, everyone. I changed the width of the spinning image and everything seems to be working. I had also forgotten that the corners of the transparent div extend further than the circle... whoops.

How to Resize Background Images to fit iPad Screens

I'm running into a problem. When I view my website on a computer and phone, it's built perfectly; but, when I pull it up on an iPad, the background images are like blown up. My website is http://www.zwdalpha.com/, any help will be very appreciated! Also, my Github is https://github.com/zcsmouse970/zwdalpha
To address the issue, you first need to understand what is happening. Background image sizes are handled with the background-size attribute, which you currently have set to cover. cover is great for large screens because it makes sure the image "covers" the height of the element. This allows for clipping on the sides to make sure it fills from top to bottom. contain is the opposite of that. It makes sure you can see the entire image at all times. It does this by making sure the width is 100% and the height is left to clip or expand. When you see on tablets and smaller that the images are "blown up", the CSS is making sure that the entire content area is filled with the image, and it does this by making sure the height of the image fills the content pane. Here's where we get a little more detailed.
You have your images setup as fixed. Obviously this was the effect you were going for, but lets think about what needs to happen here. Now the image needs to be covering the screen from top to bottom because it is able to be viewed anywhere the content pane is while being fixed. So now your image is covering the entire viewport. You can see the changes it makes when you change it to background-attachment:scroll;. It instead fits the image into the content pane instead of the viewport.
All of that being said, the way you can change this is by implementing media queries and switching backgrounds to cropped versions that are more appropriate to the viewing dimensions.
Your issue appears to be to do with background-attachment: fixed not behaving as expected.
Try background-attachment: scroll

Responsive content slider sometime cuts too much of the bottom off images

http://1aproductions.ots-internet3.net
So my wordless theme has a built in slider. It is responsive. The slider is in the background and seems to have a height of 100%. On browsers that are normal width but tall this means that a lot of the image is hidden behind the white background of the content lower down the page. If you resize the page while the slider is on the slide image of the queen you will see why this is a problem. My boss would like it to always show her heard and shoulders.
Is there a way of, on longer shaped browser windows, stopping the image from being 100% height and therefore making it display better on longer height browsers as well as normal shaped ones?
As you can probably tell I'm kind of out of my depth on this one, so any help would be fantastic!
Thanks
Luckily for you there is a quick fix on this particular slider. The elements are set to have a background-attachment of fixed on #slider-container .full-bg-image. Clear it and the whole picture will display. You should then be able to use the background-position to align more specifically for mobile, or only have the fixed position for desktop use with a media query. I'm not sure what method the powers that be would like best :)

On responsive site, DIV covers slider but not on desktop

This site I've built at http://www.bridetobe.co.uk/ is doing something odd when I try and view it on a mobile device. I'm using some media queries to make it responsive and what happens when I view on a mobile #sitehead seems to be covering up most of #homepage_slider below(see image below).
From looking at the CSS on #homepage_slider I don't see any absolute positioning making it be in a particular place in this instance.
Does anyone know how I can make #homepage_slider position itself below #sitehead rather than behind it?
Thanks
#sitehead is position fixed so you either need padding at the top of the body (matching the height of your header) to push you slider down or not have your header fixed (make it relative). It works on the desktop as your sitehead is relative.

horizontally display images on small browser window

I have this photo site that I am noodling with and I have an issue with reactive sizing of the browser window. The images look great at 100%, but when I size down the window the landscape images start to resize, which I understand they are sizing down to meet the width of the browser window.
However when I get really small, to mimic a smartphone, I really want these images to stack, as this makes more sense for images that are portrait. So the idea is to go from left to right and then top to bottom when the browser is small. Im kinda rusty at css and I cant remember how to get this done. Can someone please help a brutha out and point me in the right direction so I can get this going? Im doing this all thru my WP override option, so an approach I should follow with just css would be the best, as Im a tard with anything more complex.

Thanks!

What I suggest for you to do is:
write css to make the images float: left; and position: relative;inside a container div
detect the orientation of the browser window
according to the orientation, set the width of the container div
This should make the images display horizontally when possible and make them stack vertically when not.
You should take a look at this too probably.
This is good. Don't know what's actually bothering you with the responsive layout but so far your site works great.
If you still do not want that resize/layout on smaller device do remove/edit between lines #7201 - #7509 on this file http://jadanduffinphotography.com/wp-content/themes/heat/style.css

Auto resize two images in a div when browser width changes

I have looked at many different peoples answers to this problem but they only account for one image.
I am having a problem with the the two images that i have placed in my header, when i resize my browser i want them to scale down with it so that they dont displace my whole site.
i have it hosted in dropbox so you can see what my problem is: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13722201/Dorset%20Designs/home.html
also another problem im having is un attaching the footer from the bottom of the screen and putting it below the body so users have to scroll down.
p.s I attached the footer to the bottom many months ago and I forgot how to undo it.
SORRY FOR THE TERRIBLY MESSY CODE
thanks in advance

Here's how I'd do it. First, style each image using CSS to have width:100% and height:auto. This makes them respond to the sizes of their containers. Lose those width and height attributes from the img tag - I'm not even sure if those are valid anymore.
Now here's where the clever part comes. Your images are 550px and 298px wide, which is roughly a 65%:35% ratio. When the header is at its most narrow point before breaking, it's about as wide as the sum of the two. So give the big image's container max-width:65%, and the small image's container div max-width:35%.
This way, when the browser window is smaller, the images scale down correspondingly - and don't become larger than they need to be when the window is wide. I tried it out on your page, and I think it worked - see if it works for you. :)
