I'm using a Joomla template which adapts to diferent screen sizes. When the screen has no enough width the "main menu" changes to the mobile version. This works fine on mobile phones and small tablets, but on big resolution tablets like the ipad mini, the main menu won't change to the mobile version.
My aim is to always display the mobile version of the menu, no matter how big is the screen of the device.
I believe that what I need to change is this line on the css file:
#media screen and (max-width: 750px){
I tried changing 750px to 1080px but nothing happens. I even changed 750px to 10px and the website behaves the same.
All #media queries:
/* MOBILE ONLY CALLS
----------------------------------------------------------- */
#media screen and (max-width: 750px){
/* VERY SMALL CSS
----------------------------------------------------------- */
#media screen and (max-width: 240px){
/* Retina Display Images */
#media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), screen and (max--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
The original css file: http://www.mediafire.com/view/s4ng67ng6m4g4f9/s5_responsive_bars.css
There would be some class to hide the main menu and show the mobile like .main-menu { display: none; } .mobile-menu { display: block; }.
You have to find that, put it outside of media queries and remove all menu class instances from media queries.
Hope this helps

I am currently working on my personal website, yet I am having trouble trying to get my code to work correctly.
I am going to post pictures to show what I am looking at My website at the largest width and My website at the smallest width, and I will also add the link to my website and the link to my GitHub code
I am looking for information/code/anything that can point me in the right direction or help me get my website to be responsive to resizing
Here is the css code for my "< body >" and the "< div >" i want responsive (I am not sure if this is where i am supposed to be looking at either but i do know it all should be put in #media only screen and (max-width:1000px){})
body{
font-family: 'Press Start 2P', cursive;
margin: 0;
}
.main-area{
display: flex;
height: 100%;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
You are going in the right direction. Just add a few more breakpoints.
/* (phones, 600px and down) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {...}
/* (Large Phones, 768px and down) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {...}
/* (Tablets, 992px and down) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 992px) {...}
/* ( laptops and desktops, 1200px and up) */
#media only screen and (min-width: 1200px) {...}
if not possible for all of them add at least one for mobile devices (max-width: 768px) and one for tablets.
min-width means you are designing mobile first and then going upwards to larger screens and max-width means you are designing desktop first and then breaking for smaller screens.
Then inside those breakpoints add rules for the elements.
Like for your main-area you can do it something like this:
#media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.main{
height: "auto"
}
.main-area{
display: block;
}
}
it will make the main area look nicer for mobile devices. And like this change properties for all other necessary elements and make adjustment to make them look nicer for example making the icons bit larger and adjusting the padding etc.
I'm having a bit of trouble with my media queries.
Building a site using a purchased responsive wordpress theme, and am now customising it.
I'm running into an issue where, because of how the design behaves over a range of screen widths, I am using media queries to make adjustments whenever the design breaks.
Trouble is, various elements are breaking in different ways at different widths (not surprising).
So instead of getting a nice, exclusive range of media query sizes (eg: max-width: 480px, min-width: 481px --> max-width: 780px, min-width: 781px --> max-width: 960px, minwidth 961px) it's turning into an overlapping mess of queries.
Here is a sample of what I've got in my CSS so far, with CSS removed just to save space:
#media only screen and (max-width: 961px) {
/* upto 961px */
#media only screen and (min-width: 885px) and (max-width: 961px) {
/* 885px upto 961px */
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 884px) {
/* 768px upto 884px */
#media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {
/* upto 767px */
#media only screen and (max-width: 550px) {
/* Shrinks top nav text size for smaller screens*/
#media only screen and (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 550px) {
/* Adjusts search bar location*/
#media only screen and (max-width: 565px) {
/* Toggles correct Justified Image Grid for home page buttons */
#media only screen and (min-width: 566px) and (max-width: 721px) {
/* Toggles correct Justified Image Grid for home page buttons */
#media only screen and (min-width: 722px) and (max-width: 902px) {
/* Toggles correct Justified Image Grid for home page buttons */
#media only screen and (min-width: 903px) {
/* Toggles correct Justified Image Grid for home page buttons */
Pretty messy huh? Please be nice, am still learning this stuff :)
So my main problem now is: the elements I'm controlling with the last 4 media queries (targeting the Justified Image Grid) contain very simple declarations - basically making certain elements display or not. I thought I'd defined these queries fairly exclusively, but they are not working the way I expect them to.
Is the problem possibly with my mess of other queries? (Even though the Justified Image Grid are not referenced in other queries?)
More than happy to take suggestions on how to handle queries in this kind of situation, which I'd imagine happens quite frequently with web builds...
EDIT:
Here is the link to the test page: http://dev.thecyclery.net.au/home-test/
There are two image grid elements, and I only want to display one at a time.
Thanks!

one way to simplify things a bit is to remove the min-width portions of the queries that have both a min and a max. Then while using only max-width queries you order them from largest to smallest.
#media only screen and (max-width: 961px) {
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 884px) {
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
}
These will automatically override each other when the screen gets below each respective setting.
Personally I only use the max-width settings and adjust them accordingly, hopefully you can get away with the same thing if you set it up correctly.
One reason that you may be having trouble is that if two queries have some of the same size parameters (overlapping conditions) whichever one is located last will take precedence over the other, and this might not be your intended outcome.
(Also, my personal experience with purchased wordpress themes has been less than satisfactory, you are typically better off customizing _s or one of the twenty___ themes that come with wordpress. The trouble with purchased themes is that they are usually designed with a specific intent (or specific plugins)... an intent that is almost never the same as your own intent.)
I am having trouble with: http://brybell.me/vipeepz/skeleton/
/* Smaller than standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {}
/* Tablet Portrait size to standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {}
/* All Mobile Sizes (devices and browser) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
}
/* Mobile Landscape Size to Tablet Portrait (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {
}
/* Mobile Portrait Size to Mobile Landscape Size (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
#logo {
margin-top:400px;
position:relative;
}
}
That is the media query code within the layout.css file of the skeleton boilerplate/ framework.
It does not seem to be picking up the media query, I have tried many things and it doesn't seem to be working.
There are two logos now, because I was doing some testing, but I really am just trying to do something simple similar to instagram's website. simple phone image with screenshot and then a logo and block of text beneath.
I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you very much. I have been frustrated with this because I had the site how I wanted it on desktop, but can't get things to reposition to where I want them to be.
Your inline style declaration is overwriting the media query in this case since inline styles have higher specificity. Try moving your inline styles into an external stylesheet and your media query for #logo should be picked up.
I'm trying to make my responsive CSS styles work only on tablets and smartphones. Basically I have a style for desktop, a style for mobile: portrait and a style for mobile: landscape. I don't want the mobile styles interfering with the desktop presentation at all. I have played around with countless media queries, but the result either the mobile styles are getting displayed on the desktop, or the mobile styles are displaying only on mobile devices but with only one set of rules (non-responsive). Is there a way I can keep the two completely separate?
My code I have right now goes like this:
/* regular desktop styles */
#media only screen
and (max-device-width: 600px)
{ ... }
/* mobile only styles when the device is 0-600px in maximum width */
#media only screen
and (max-device-width: 1000px)
{ ... }
/* mobile only styles when the device is up to 1000px in maximum width */
Why not use a media query range.
I'm currently working on a responsive layout for my employer and the ranges I'm using are as follows:
You have your main desktop styles in the body of the CSS file (1024px and above) and then for specific screen sizes I'm using:
#media all and (min-width:960px) and (max-width: 1024px) {
/* put your css styles in here */
}
#media all and (min-width:801px) and (max-width: 959px) {
/* put your css styles in here */
}
#media all and (min-width:769px) and (max-width: 800px) {
/* put your css styles in here */
}
#media all and (min-width:569px) and (max-width: 768px) {
/* put your css styles in here */
}
#media all and (min-width:481px) and (max-width: 568px) {
/* put your css styles in here */
}
#media all and (min-width:321px) and (max-width: 480px) {
/* put your css styles in here */
}
#media all and (min-width:0px) and (max-width: 320px) {
/* put your css styles in here */
}
This will cover pretty much all devices being used - I would concentrate on getting the styling correct for the sizes at the end of the range (i.e. 320, 480, 568, 768, 800, 1024) as for all the others they will just be responsive to the size available.
Also, don't use px anywhere - use em's or %.
What's you've got there should be fine to work, but there is no actual "Is Mobile/Tablet" media query so you're always going to be stuck.
There are media queries for common breakpoints , but with the ever changing range of devices they're not guaranteed to work moving forwards.
The idea is that your site maintains the same brand across all sizes, so you should want the styles to cascade across the breakpoints and only update the widths and positioning to best suit that viewport.
To further the answer above, using Modernizr with a no-touch test will allow you to target touch devices which are most likely tablets and smart phones, however with the new releases of touch based screens that is not as good an option as it once was.
I had to solve a similar problem--I wanted certain styles to only apply to mobile devices in landscape mode. Essentially the fonts and line spacing looked fine in every other context, so I just needed the one exception for mobile landscape. This media query worked perfectly:
#media all and (max-width: 600px) and (orientation:landscape)
{
/* styles here */
}
Yes, this can be done via javascript feature detection ( or browser detection , e.g. Modernizr ) . Then, use yepnope.js to load required resources ( JS and/or CSS )
I'm trying to create a responsive design using Twitter bootstrap. Everything is going well but I cannot figure out how to set a minimum width for desktop users.
When a user is on a desktop I don't want them to be able to shrink the browser to the point where they see responsive features meant for the phone (e.g. the navbar mobile button). I would rather just have a horizontal scroll bar when the browser gets too small. How can I get this functionality without affecting the mobile layout?
You can address this with a media-query. The only problem is that you have to set a fixed width for this, min-width doesn't seem to work in this case (tested in Firefox and Chrome). If this is fine for you, you can try the following example:
// Should be something > 1024
#media only screen and (min-device-width: 1300px) {
body {
width: 1300px;
}
}
To replicate the way that logicvault.com have their site working you would need to change the Bootstrap CSS so that you only have one media query which kicks in at 480px.
Here's the media query they have set:
#media only screen and (max-width: 480px){
// styles here
}
I was able to achieve this functionality by using Frederic's advice:
// Should be something > 1024
#media only screen and (min-device-width: 1024px) {
body {
min-width: 1025px;
}
}
However, I also needed to adjust the bootstrap responsive files so the styles were only applied to touch devices. I ended up including Modernizr on my page and looking for the touch class.
E.g. change:
#media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) {
// Styles are here
}
to:
#media (device-min-width: 768px) and (device-max-width: 979px) {
.touch {
// Styles go here
}
