On the docs page of mini.css https://minicss.org/docs#modal-dialogs , there's a modal dialog example. It works, and everything's fine, just the size (width to be precise) of the dialog seems to be constant, regardless of the screen size. It's very short, even on quite wide screens. Is there a way to make it wider (e.g. to take 70% of available space)?
Perhaps the problem is trivial, yet I'm not a CSS expert. I've checked the size of div elements, and they are set to 100%. Just the modal part is rendered so small.
It is using a media query , Override that media query.
media screen and (min-width: 320px)
.card {
max-width: 70%; //try !important tag if does not work without it.
}
Or probably define your own media queries.

Is it possible to hide a div with (or without) Bootstrap 4 if the screen width is over/under a specific value? Does it need javascript for that?
More specifically, I'm looking for hiding a specific text (that I find useless on a mobile screen). I tried classes like "hidden-sm-up" but I couldn't make it work. Sorry if it's a basic question...
media queries in CSS are what you are looking for.
.mydiv{display:block; /*default behavior*/}
#media only screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.mydiv{display:none; /*hide div on all screens with 700 and lower width*/}
}
(try dragging the divider between js and outpuut block)

I want to make a media query to target just my phone. What breakpoint(s) would I use?
For instance, my body max-width is 800px wide with 2px margins. When the window is less than 800px (mobile?) i want the margins on it to be 0px (this works on my browser). Turns out that my phones screen is hi-res and therefore the width of the display never goes below 800px!
Is this because of pixel ratios?
What do I do?
The meta-view-port tag changes how websites are displayed on your phone, or other small screens that may want to 'adjust' a website for you.
Some screens, for instance - an iphone 5 - with no meta-view-port tag, will size the website to fit your screen / but like a little version of your website zoomed out. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag
A combination of a view-port tag, and a media-query in your styles would allow you to change your style rules depending on the screen-size. It's kinda best just to make the breaks where things get ugly and not based on the screen sizes of "Today" that will change next month.
I would suggest building from the smallest screen first and moving up as you go with styles like this:
html {
height: 100%;
background: blue;
}
#media (min-width: 400px) {
html {
background: red;
}
}
#media (min-width: 850px) {
html {
background: green;
}
}
etc.

If you already have your site built.. and you really want to target the smaller screens, you can use max-width instead of min-width - but I've found that it takes more time and energy to override styles on the way down - then it does on the way up because styles get more complex for larger screens.
#media (max-width: 850px) {
/* styles */
}
If what you want to change is margin value when viewed on mobile you should design your display for use on any screen above the mobile size, 800px wide for you, then create a media query, similar to the ones in the link commented by #Hynes, which changes just margins to 0px.
You are correct in assuming your device is 800px wide due to ratios, but it also has to do with resolution, which are similar topics here. If you imagine a sports jumbo screen, a pixel is nearly an led in size, vs a 1080px display laptop, where the pixels are nearly unobservable. Ratios and resolutions are the reasons displays are tricky to make, and why values such as em's and percentages have come to be, to bypass the differences in display. This is also a large reason of why media queries are so useful
html {
box-sizing: border-box;}
*,*:before,*:after {box-sizing: inherit;}
Try using box-sizing: border-box on your css and also percentages, this is the way I like it, but surely you will find plenty of information about it, just google it.

You need to include this in your header:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Explanation:
Fortunately, you can specify a viewport meta tag in the <head> section
of your document in order to control the width and scaling of the
browser's viewport. If this tag has a content value of
width=device-width, the screen's width will match the device
independent pixels and will ensure that all the different devices
should scale and behave consistently.
I'd like to buy a license of cssSlider at www.cssslider.com, but I need to get it to work first.
I want a responsive full-width slider. As the browser window decreases in width, I want to keep the slider height intact at first (so only the sides of the slider image will be cut). After a certain breakpoint (when browser window has same width as the width of the content wrapper on my site), only then do I want the slider to get smaller vertically as well. This way, the slider won't get ridiculously thin on smaller devices. I hope I explain myself well.
I managed to do this on my site with a single image used as background, using a transparent .gif with a width of 1120 x 500:

I know it's possible with cssSlider, since they have this feature on their first page top slider (http://cssslider.com/), but there's no option to choose this with the cssSlider executable program.
Any clues? Thank you!
For smaller screens, they set the container height to auto inside a media query. Then they appear to serve different images based on screen width. So it looks like 'responsive images'.
Responsive images can be complicated depending on whether you care about IE, your server configuration, and whether you know php or javascript, etc etc. Here's some info: https://css-tricks.com/which-responsive-images-solution-should-you-use/
Alternative solution: you could use the newer css3 units of vw and vh.
vw and vh are percentage of the viewport. The browser support for this will be roughly equal to the support for css3 sliders, so you should be ok!
Try replacing their media query, something like this:
#media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {
.csslider1, .csslider1 > ul {
height: 75vh; max-height:450px;
}
}
In the end, I found this to be the correct code:
#media only screen and (max-width: 1500px) {
.csslider1,
.csslider1 > ul {
height: auto;
}
}
I found the cssSlider program to automatically generate the behaviour I was looking for with the right settings. All you need to do is to put the breakpoint you want as image width, with "Full width" checked.
So using the following code with template I can set when responsive mode kicks in.
#media all and (max-width: 680px)
However is there a query that if the browser width goes below for ex. 380px responsive, items stop minimizing etc. and stay at what would appear at 380px responsive only. So if someone was minimizing browser or had viewport of 280 they would be viewing what it looks like at 380px responsive but with scroll bars?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
You could simply set a min-width on the body element.
Example Here
body {
min-width:380px;
}
Bootstrap doesn't offer that level of control but you can simple add the following media query and then impose styles on elements on screen sizes smaller than 380px wide.
#media all and (max-width: 379px) {
// Style elements specifically for screen sizes less than 380px
}
I'm guessing that because you can do this with Media Queries:
#media (min-width:500px) { … }
That at some point or another, the CSS stylesheet must know what width the screen is, sans Javascript.
Is this the case?
You can use device-width which will test of the screen's width in px. That however is not entirely recommended. Use max-width and min-width (for the viewport) instead.
If you are trying to GET the screen width and use it (something like content: (device-width); of some sort, that's not possible. Stick with JavaScript.
Manual Reference
As the client browser's viewport changes size, the browser will repaint the visible area. At that point in time the browser will be checking if there are media query styles that are relevant for the new viewport.
The CSS doesn't really know what width the browser's viewport is, so much as the browser knows what CSS is applicable for a specific viewport.
Well...
#media(width:1024px){
p#id:after{
content:"1024px";
}
}
If the width of the viewport is 1024 pixels, this displays the text "1024px" after the designated <p> element. You could (hypothetically) put several thousands of such blocks of CSS to display the width of the viewport, for any reasonable value of its width. (Note that the text isn't selectable in some browsers.)
The more you know... (please don't actually do this)
In html ->
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
OR
In CSS ->
#viewport {
width: device-width;
}
Hope it helped.
