How to make website responsive on both retina and normal displays? - css

The problem is here.I recently coded a landing page for a client and I made it fully responsive. Now he says that when the page loads, all content should be on the screen and there should be no need to scroll to see the lower part and everything should be fit on the screen. I'm not sure if I am wrong or he, but I think this is not possible at all if you want a responsive website then things will go off screen. I share some pictures so you can see what I mean.
I know that my question is not about coding but more about the possibility of what my client is requesting.
He has a macbook pro '15 inch laptop which I think is a Retina display laptop. So I don't really know what to do about this issue.
**This is what you see on a macbook pro '15 **
However, in other screens you see all the content.
I just want to know if what the client requests is something real and doable or is it impossible?

my responsive design doesn't work on tablet/mobile

For week's now I can't figure out why my site is designed to be responsive, is everything right and laptop works perfectly even when put in a small size and then step into my mobile and is not responsive.
I've tried uninstalling the plugins, I changed the theme and not find out why.
Can you held me?
The website is: moinhodocomandante.com
Thanks for your atention,

Unless you are intentionally trying to send your mobile users to dubious porn websites, my guess is that your site has been compromised. Lucky for you it has been poorly compromised and it is only breaking the page instead of displaying the ads/redirects.
To verify this, put your browser in developer mode and switch to mobile emulation and look at the network tab.
Without knowledge of your limitation, I cannot recommend any measures for cleaning up the compromise, but consider disabling every plugin and upgrading WP. It looks like every single call to a CSS file by your plugins gets redirected to something nefarious.

Ridiculous CSS media query issue

I am at a loss with why one page on a site that just went live is misbehaving on iPhone (and possibly others at 320 to 480 px wide.
I have used various simulators that have never let me down before (screenfly & iphone5 simulator) plus I have tested the responsiveness using browser resize and for some reason none of these methods can replicate the issue so I cannot find a way to correct the problem. I have cleared my cache and tried from a different phone.
The Problem:
Visit (site removed) from a phone and notice that this is the only page on the website that does not fill the devices screen. Visit any other page and you will see that the rest all fill the page normally.
If someone can point me in a direction to reproduce the problem (not on a phone) where I can access developer tools I should be able to correct the problem on my own.
I have tried reviewing my code to see what is different about that page in comparison to every other page and cannot find what appears to be causing the problem.
Some help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
In Google Chrome on Phone it's ok!
Check your settings about responsive and specific browsers settings in CSS..
Good Luck, please give photo from Phone.
Okay, I found the issue. Was able to find a div element with in the contact form that had a fixed width and although the content within the form was properly set the div was pushing the entire page over.

Rendering image on the mobile browser?

i am creating a mobile site, now my problem is the images are getting render when i run the site on PC, and also while running the site on IPhone, but when it comes to Opera Browser for any symbian based mobile, the images are not at all rendering..
i am using asp:Image control on the site.. is this causing it not to be displayed on mobile.
if yes, then whats the equivalent for the mobile control. and also i want to resize the image as per the aspect ratio almost all the images are big in dimension.
Please anyone have any idea for the same, i will appreciate it.
If you wish to have your pages and images resize automatically based on the size of the device on which they are being viewed, you might find an answer with Zurb Foundation. I use it in almost all of my web "responsive web design" projects now.

Adobe Air Browser

Im trying to implement a mini browser in adobe air. The browser should work in the same ways as a mobile phone browser, i.e. fit the width of the website to a certain width(specified within the html component) and leave the height to be scrollable.
I have managed to do a mini browser by using the scaleX,scaleY properties of the mx:HTML component however these make the websites look unreadable.
I have also tried setting the css3 zoom property, and that works fine, but it only zooms out certain elements, therefore messing up the site layout.
My question is: Is there a way to make a mini web browser which shows the full content of the website?
Thanks for your help
Air browser cannot be scaled without have an horrible look (no anti-aliasing).
A few years later but here is what I ended up doing:
The requirement was to show the full website that person B was looking at so that person A could guide them through the site. Due to all the limitations of the Adobe AIR Browser we ended up using IECapt (http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/) within an external process to capture the screenshot and send it back to AIR.
This is all well and good, but IECapt is quite out of date as well so recently we have started to look at the using Chromium (http://www.magpcss.net/cef_downloads/) as an ANE within our application and with that we can alter the zoom and dimensions of the page while still being able to keep it up-to-date.

What tool can I use to test my web app in different resolutions?

Back in the past,
i found a third party webpage that was able to capture and save images of my website in different resolutions and browsers. Of course i have no more that bookmark...
So is there any webpage or application where i can see how my webpage looks like in different resolution?
And here are the resolutions i would like to check for..
1. 1024x768 24.56%
2. 1280x800 22.06%
3. 1280x1024 13.42%
4. 1366x768 7.10%
5. 1440x900 6.68%
Perhaps you're thinking of http://browsershots.org/ ?
Note that the screen resolution of the computer running the browser is only half of the truth. If the browser isn't maximized, it will be a lot smaller than the resolution you see there, and on non-Windows operating systems (Mac OS X, Linux) it's a lot more common to run applications non maximized.
It's simply best to make sure that your site is viewable in anything from small windows (just resize your browser down) to large.
If you want to check various resolutions and browsers, then BrowserShots may have been what you came across before, give it a look.
For viewing which percentage of people sees how much of your web page:
http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/
Also: Web Developer plugin for Firefox (Resize menu).
Chrome Extension and Firefox add-on to resize your browser to various standard resolution sizes...
There is one more online tool called ScreenFly which is very good and you can even check for tablets, TVs, mobiles.. screenfly
There are many utils available for watching your website in different resolutions.
Some are installed on PC, some are online services like these:
Adobes "render browser" - you'll need to create a free Adobe account:
http://browserlab.adobe.com
Nice, but not free if you want it fast as I recall it:
http://browsershots.org/
Google - shows what part of your website is visible based on statistics from Google:
http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/
But as far as I know, todays most commonly design resolution is 1024x768, eventhough the height isnt that important because of the popular scrollwheel on most mice/pads.
If you design to design for this resolution there is a lot of design help in the "growing standard" called 960 grid, which is based upon how many professional designers build a design.
You always make an invisible "grid" and then you use the cells to arrange the contents. Much like the old "table" system, but much more focused on professional designs.
Regarding your question, the % you list, seems like you would have most use of the "Google" link above.
Lastly, always remember to test how your website looks with the most used browsers. For me those 4 will be:
Internet Explorer (latest and previous version, use more than one computer to test if you cant do a double installation of it)
Mozilla Firefox (latest and perhaps previous.. but they make less changes in the render, so latest would be ok)
Google Chrome (awesome debugging tools too, and a very stable browser)
Safari (so you make sure that you support MacOSX)
Thats my opinion.
The Multibrowserviewer is a great (paid for) tool for multi browser support, I know it's not free, bt worth looking into even just for the trial period.
