Div is much wider than it should be - css

I'm trying to make my site a little more mobile-friendly. I have some graphs that look best when they can be pretty wide (800px), but I would prefer for them to shrink on mobile instead of having a scroll bar. I've added this to a stylesheet:
#media screen and (max-width:600px){
div.graph {
max-width: 100%;
margin: auto;
height:400px;
}
}
#media screen and (min-width:601px){
div.graph{
max-width: 800px;
margin: auto;
height: 400px;
}
}
And included that in my master page:
<link href="~/Styles/ResponsiveDesign.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Here is one of the divs that holds a graph:
<div class="graph" id="myDiv" ></div>
The problem is when I view the page with the browser full-size now, the graph is huge--far more than 800 px. Even if I change the max-width to something ridiculous like 25px, it's still huge. Any thoughts?

Do like this (and make sure custom CSS is loaded last if you use a library)
Update based on a comment
Since inline style work, add !important like this and it should work
width: 800px !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
and if it does work, you do have another rule overriding these or else they would have worked without the !important
div.graph{
width: 800px;
margin: auto;
height: 150px;
background: red
}
#media screen and (max-width:800px){
div.graph {
max-width: 100%;
}
}
<div class="graph" id="myDiv" ></div>
In this particular case you actually don't need the media query at all
div.graph{
width: 800px;
max-width: 100%;
margin: auto;
height: 150px;
background: red
}
<div class="graph" id="myDiv" ></div>

i think you should set it in percentage.

Ok, so if I understand it correctly you are trying to set the max width to 800px if the screen's width is bigger than 600px. How bout concretely setting the width of the div to 800px if the screen is bigger than 800px?
Alright, than the only other thing I can think of is its calling the other css block where you set the max-width to 100%. Maybe since its the same class name it is doing this I dont know. You could try commenting out that line and just trying it to see what happens. And sorry Im editing and not commenting I just started so I cant comment...?

I think the problem might be with the graph size itself, could you inspect element and check the size of the contents of the graph? My guess is that the div is the correct size, the graph isn't. We'd need to know how you are creating the graph for more specifics. Could you screen or put a demo of the graph?
Possibly also try a more specific selector? Ex:
body div#id div.graph{}
(I can't comment, sorry if this is not an answer)

How to limit content width in a superwide screen without media query

I was wondering if I could use css-grid or something as simple to limit the width of my content in a superwide screen but then allow it to show full width in smaller screens.
I don't want to use media queries.
Here is my jsfiddle
My idea is something like
grid-template-columns: minmax(1fr, 40em);
But this is invalid css. Is there something valid and equivalent?
One very simple way is to just centre an element with a width: 100% and a max-width:
#example {
background-color: #009;
width: 100%; /* Fill 100% width */
max-width: 1000px; /* Unless it's larger than the maximum */
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div id="example"></div>

Resize image in css on a .jsp page

How do I make a large image smaller via CSS, with the image located on a JSP page?
I have tried different height, width, size and-so-on keywords, but nothing seems to work.
It is possible though to move the image around, but can't figure out how to make it smaller.
The picture is saved in my project (it's not from an url).
HTML:
<div id="AUlogo">
<img src="aarhus-university.png">
</div>
CSS:
#AUlogo{
margin-left: 23%;
}
Hope my question is clear!
Try like this: Demo
#AUlogo img {
max-width:100px;
}
Specify the value in max-width as you need.. Hope this helps!!
try using
max-width: 90%;
and
max-height: 90%;
that should work, and when you did just height did you change the width or vice versa because if you dont change it with the same ratio as the img had it might mess up so try
height: 55px;
width: auto;
Simple way is to use CSS Resize Property
#AUlogo {
resize: both;
overflow: auto;
}
For resize Property you can use different values like
resize:both,horizontal,vertical,initial;
You can have any one of the property values to resize your image

Resizing divs and background images to fit page with CSS

Say that i want to have a couple of divs on my page with images in the background (like this: http://www.ubudhanginggardens.com/). I know how to set the size of my divs, but the problem is that the background image stays the same if I make the web browser smaller... I want the background image to scale up/down with the web browser.
CSS
body, html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
#container1 {
float: left;
height: 100%;
width: 50%;
background-image: url(../img/1.png);
}
#container2 {
float: left;
height: 100%;
width: 50%;
background-image: url(../img/2.png);
}
This can be done with pure CSS and does not even require media queries.
To make the images flexible, simply add max-width:100% and height:auto. Image max-width:100% and height:auto works in IE7, but not in IE8 (yes, another weird IE bug). To fix this, you need to add width:auto\9 for IE8.
Source
CSS:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
width: auto\9; /* ie8 */
}
And if you want to enforce a fixed max width of the image, just place it inside a container, for example:
<div style="max-width:500px;">
<img src="..." />
</div>
jsFiddle example here. No javascript required. Works in latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and IE (which is all I've tested).
If you would like to have your image scale with your browser, set the width to a percent instead of defining it as a number of pixels.
So if you wanted the image to always cover half of a div:
<div class="my_div">
<img src="http://example.com"></img>
</div>
<style>
.my_div .image {
width:50%;
}
</style>
As you change your browser window size, the size of the image will change. You might want to take a look at Responsive CSS Frameworks, such as Twitter's Bootstrap, which can help you achieve exactly this behavior.

full Wide screen image

I'm trying to place this picture at the background of my page in a div. I'm trying to make it full screen "in width". so the size of the picture is 980x420, but it just simply doesn't work. I know I'm missing something but I can't find it anywhere.
CSS
.Sil{
max-width: 100%;
height: 300px;
background: url(../Images/TALENT.png) no-repeat;
}
HTML
<div class="Sil"></div>
There is a possibility your image is smaller than 980px. If that's the case you can change from max-width: 100%; to become width: 100%'. Other option is to usebackground-size: cover;`

Div fit according image width

I have a portfolio page with a image display with zoom.
I have this code: http://codepen.io/Mpleandro/pen/LvrqJ
The div that shows the image has a class of .display, on line 13 of the HTML and the css formating for this div isline 90.
The image width will be flexible, so I what I want is to make the containing div inherit the width of image.
I tried the css property auto, inherit and min-with, but nothing works!
Could someone help me?
P.S.: I need a responsive solution.
Thanks
since 1 year has passed you may not be interested in the solution, but hope that helps someone else.
I also had a situation like that where I needed a div to be of the same width as the image and this had to be responsive.
In my case, I set a fixed width for the div
.some-div{
width: 250px;
}
I also had responsive image:
img{
display: block;
max-width: 100%;
height; auto;
}
and then I added a media query with threshold when the fixed width of the div started to affect the responsive nature and simply addedd this:
#media screen and (max-width: 917px){
.some-div{
width: 100%;
}
}
For my project the threshold was 917px when the fixed width started to affect.
I guess it is a solution that will fit everyone since width: 100% after the certain threshold will always be the width of the image if the image is responsive.
I don't know how to give you a perfect answer, but I can hopefully send you in the right direction. First, you can forget about inherit or min-width because they are not what you want.
auto is the default value, and I think that the default behaviour is very close to what you want: the width of the div adapt to its content. If this is not the current behaviour, this is because of many other reasons including the positioning of that div. The thing is, you won't have a proper centering and sizing of the <div class="display"> with only CSS, because it would need a specific explicit width declaration.
Since you already use Javascript to display/hide the good images, you could use Javascript to set the width everytime you change the image that is in the box.
My best advice would be to use existing solutions which are tested, approved and look really good. A 2 seconds Google search pointed me to Fesco which you could try.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but if it is, I hope it will help!
If you want your image to fill the div, but to scale with the browser, try setting the width of your div. Next, apply max-width="100%"; height: auto; to your image.
The simplest solution would be to just set .display to display: inline-block;, which would adjust its size to the contained image. If you want to be responsive as well, you need to define an upper limit via max-height: 80%, for example.
Put together, it would look like this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/IluBt
JS line 17:
$(".display").css("display","inline-block");
CSS for .display
.display {
position: relative;;
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
max-height:80%; /* <-- limit the height */
top:10%;
left:0;
margin:auto;
}
And to align everything nicely:
.loader {
color: red;
position: fixed;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
background: rgba(0,0,0, 1) url(../http://www.mpleandro.com.br/images/new/loader.gif) no-repeat center center;
text-align: center;
}
