Take these two websites for example.. twitter and amazon.
Notice when you change the height of the viewport nothing actually changes? Just the amount you can and can't see.
How is this achieved?

I've searched all over the web and throughout stackoverflow to solve the following problem and although there is tons of posts and feedback on the subject, i cannot find anything that relates specifically to what i'm trying to achieve.
I want to create an image grid/ gallery that is fluid and 100% browser width with responsive images that all resize together. Each 'row of images' has a specific height and all the images within that given row also have the exact same height, but use different widths.
This image better illustrates what i'm trying to achieve-

The problem i'm getting is that whichever solution i try, i cannot get the images to be the same height no matter what. I would post my code but at this stage i have literally tried dozens and dozens of html and css combinations, none of which work.
On one hand i was led to believe that it's impossible to achieve what i'm looking for using css, however this site appears to have same height images side by side which do resize equally together- http;//www.esquire.co.uk
When i tried masonry.js i also encountered the same problem. Image heights varied according to the width of an image and either shrunk too small within their container or expanded out of their container leaving unequal height boxes side by side. Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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 :)
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. :)
What is the best way to dynamically change the width and height of an HTML5 video within a webpage? The kind of behaviour I'm referring to is the same thing in the intro video of http://flipboard.com/
When the window is resized, the video still takes up 100% of the viewable size (without scrolling). I noticed that the video gets resized to a certain degree, but stops resizing and gets cropped at some point.
What is the best way to get the same behaviour? I want to have a video take up the entire viewable area of the browser without scroll bars. This is only on a desktop/laptop, I am not considering any mobile devices ATM.
What I have in mind right now is to dynamically change the width/height properties of the video to fit the viewable area using javascript, but also set a minimum size such that the video doesn't get distorted. The video can be placed in a container that is always centered, so if the browser gets to a size that is too small, it effectively gets cropped. I'm not sure if this is too long-winded and if there is an easier way.
Thank you.
It looks like they have the css properties of height and width set to 100%. If you use an element inspector like the one built into chrome or firebug for Firefox, you should be able to see exactly how they structured the html/css for the video element as well as the div its nested in. Then, as you said, also set a min-width/min-height property.
Unless I'm misreading your question, it should be that simple. Hope this helps!
you could do it with "Responsive CSS", there are some ways to do that,
you could set the viewport, max-width, min-width, etc.
This link have a nice explanation how to do that : http://kyleschaeffer.com/best-practices/responsive-layouts-using-css-media-queries/
All,
I am writing the CSS for our web application. The whole application needs to fit in the browser window without any scrollbars appearing. I also want to set a min-height & min-width properties so that if the browser window gets smaller than our min., only then will the scroll bars appear.
Is there a way of achieving this in CSS please?
Your problem depends to the screen size of the viewers, which may varies greatly. My propose is that you should create a fix width/height div which is the wrapper of all the content (usually 1024x768).
