I am working on a website that has a slideshow right under the header. I want to limit the height of the slideshow responsively so that if it leaves 20-30% of the viewport on one screen resolution, it will do the same on the other. Currently my CSS looks like this.
#slideshow-container {
height: 70vh;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
#slideshow-container img {
height: auto;
width: 100%;
}
The images scale responsively and I'm using the viewport units to accomplish what I want. However, viewport units aren't very cross-browser compatible so I'm looking for a way to accomplish the same idea across all browsers. I'd prefer to only use CSS and not JavaScript or jQuery.
Since I do not know your markup, it's more difficult to help.
I'd do it with following lines of CSS:
/*reset stuff so that body fits the entire viewport*/
html,
body {
height:100%;
width:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#slideshow-container {
height:70%;
...
}
This should do the job.
But in my opinion there's propably no reason for not using viewport units since it's supported in most current browsers: http://caniuse.com/viewport-units
The only problem shall be the mobile devices (and IE, of course).

I'm pretty new to coding so it may be that I do not understand what I'm doing. I've tried every bit of code advice given on this website that seems to pertain to my situation and I cannot get results!
My carousel sliders are outside my images and I need them in/on my images. I want them the size they currently are so viewers do not have to scroll up and down to view my entire picture. You can view my predicament at http://mirandarodgers.com/lenoxhouse.html
Like I said, I've tried everything under the sun. Currently my code just says:
.carousel .item{
min-height: 525px; /* Prevent carousel from being distorted if for some
reason image doesn't load */
}
.carousel .item img{
margin: 0 auto; /* Align slide image horizontally center */
position: absolute;
min-width: 100%;
height: 525px;
max-width: none;
}
I'm ashamed of how much of a hack this is, but it might help you out:
.right {
right: calc(100vw / 2 - 374px);
}
.left {
left: calc(100vw / 2 - 374px);
}
So to solve this I gave both the images and the .carousel a fixed max-height (I used 400px).
.carousel .item img,
.carousel {
max-height: 400px;
}
You vertical images will scale to a height of this value.
You can play around with different max-height values and even have the height depend upon the screen size using CSS Media Queries.
Whats happening is that the slider images are aligned to the sides of the actual carousel itself, if you want to restrict the size of the carousel set a max-width on it. This is because the size of your images cannot fit the width/height of the carousel and there isn't any code for resizing the img or the carousel. If you work on the resizing of your elements it should solve the problems you are having and try to find better images that are roughly the same dimensions or the carousel will expand/shrink unexpectedly if it isn't handled correctly.
I added the following to .carousel and it looked much better on the site.
.carousel {
max-width: 70%;
position: relative;
margin: auto;
}
Also i would add an img tag with
img {
max-width:100%
}
And this
.carousel .item {
max-height: 525px;
}
I'm currently trying to optimize a Wordpress site for mobile devices, but I'm struggling with getting the footer of the site to cooperate. The site is here:
http://whitehallrow.com/
When loaded on mobile, the width of the body shrinks in accordance with the screen size and wraps all the contained text within it. However, the footer keeps its width, which I understand is because the width is hard-coded to look good on a computer screen. I've made a media query in the CSS that targets devices with screens 500 pixels wide or smaller, in order to get the footer to resize to the width of the body. Here is a snippet of my CSS that I've been tweaking:
#media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
#customfooter{
width:100%;
}
}
For whatever reason, this is not working - it still shows the footer as being much wider than the body. I've tried max-width:100%, width:auto; max-width:auto, and none of them work.
How do I achieve this without hard-coding anything?
Change your CSS from
#teakfooter {
width: 100%;
}
#verybottom {
width: 100%;
}
add a class so this gets higher priority
.page #teakfooter {
width: 100%;
}
.page #verybottom {
width: 100%;
}
I tried it out using Firebug and it seems to be working well like this.
Edit: After going over a few more things in the comments, I noticed a couple of things causing the footer to not fill out.
.site {
padding: 0 1.71429rem;
}
This is causing #customer footer to have padding on both sides.
#teakfooter {
margin-left: -40px;
}
This is causing #teakfooter to have whitespace on the right side.
also in firebug you can check METRICS (in right column you have Computed Styles, Styles, Metrics, etc.). In METRICS you will see that around your body there is a padding: 24px;
Solution:
body {
padding: 0;
}
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.
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;
}
I came across the website http://www.swiftkey.net.
On my widescreen I see the gray background on the sides of the content area..On my regular(1024x768) the grey bars are not there.
How do they acheive this effect?
Using firebug, I was able to decipher what I think MIGHT be doing this:
.w1 {
float: left;
width: 1600px;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
.w2 {
float: left;
width: 1600px;
position: relative;
}
I do have experince with CSS and HTML, but the above code is a little bit cryptic to me, especially considering w2 is inside w1.
I'm answering this under the assumption that the grey bars you're talking about are the ones shown in the second sample image:
The simple answer is that the page uses a wrapper with a static maximum width that is horizontally centered:
#wrapper {
max-width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto; //centers a block element
}
The grey bars are created by having a background color on the <body> or <html> elements:
body {
background-color: #888;
}
I haven't checked the source to see where these styles are specifically set, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
This has to accomplished with javascript screen object
var scr=window.screen;
var availwidth=scr.availWidth;
var width=scr.width;
var availh=scr.availHeight;
var height=scr.height;
availWidth and availHeight gives actual available width and height, considering taskbars and scrollbars etc.
width and height give the actual screen resolution. Then access the variables and decide the type of layout.
However adjusting anything to center is easy
div
{
width:1024px;
position:absolute;
left:50%;
margin-left:-512px;
}
the javascript screen width tracing is for more control options
