I am building a site for my friend, He specified a bug for me. He said,"When I Zoom in/out the browser, the Website layout “breaks apart” but it is working fine in 100% Browser Zoom."
Please let me know the Standard for web development for Browser Zooming
In CSS there is something called "em". Different from pixels, they adjust themselves to screen settings. With most CSS elements, zooms should not be a problem, but if you are really having trouble, I would recommend using em as units
usually I don't consider zooming but if you want a good website that shows ok with different screen resolutions like in mobile browsers or tablet you'd better use responsive style sheets.
you do not need to write it by your own. you can use style sheets like twitter bootstrap which already supports responsive web pages
you can download it from here enter link description here
The webpage should be responsive enough like to work for "smaller screens" that is more or less how it will work for your CSS when they zoom in.
Make sure you have min-width or min-height set to your body or general container so, when it gets to this minimums it just stais as it looks.
For example, for the SO webpage, you have the div with id "content" inside the general div.container that has a width of 980px, so if you zoom in a lot it just shows the bottom scrollbar.

I am trying to convert a poorly designed template to a responsive design, found here:http://www.crhinc.com/about-mobile.html
Im having an issue where on desktop browser sized to mobile the template looks and works great, but on android and iphone, the page is larger than the viewport. i know i must be missing something, but as you can see, i have outlined the elements just to get try and see if i can find out whats in there that is stretching it outside the viewport and cause mobile phones to scroll from side to side but not desktop browsers.
i set the body up for 300px width just to see if i could find the rogue element, but put it back because it did not work. there are a few tables in the content, but all set to 100% width.
for some reason, it almost looks like the width in the desktop and on mobiles or not actually the same.

Do you actually think it is the viewport? Do you have the viewport set with the right content?
Maybe this link could help.
Or is it just the CSS? In that case I would recommand you searching for width and such. Trying to find big numbers..
Setting a specified width should be for specified screen sizes. Otherwise make it max-width.
I have been trying to learn how to design web pages using responsive web design. I have come across an interesting example that I do not understand:
http://www.sixty-nine.us/collections/general/
On this page on a desktop you will see gifs but when you shrink the browser enough you will see still images.
I thought this type of change in content was not possible with responsive web design because it can only control the style not the content. I was hoping someone could tell me what is actually happening here, and if my conception of the limitations of responsive web design to not change content is correct.
Any responsive design is based on #media CSS queries where you can choose which style should be applied on elements on which screen sizes (CSS approach)
Or using some JS code which monitors window width and shows/hides some elements or does what it should do. (JS approach)
They are actually looping videos and not gif. If the resolution is low the video is hidden, and jpg shown using display:none. Check the end of their stylesheet: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0515/5693/t/2/assets/legend.css?7907595077267123575
They are using #media to control how it is shown on different devices. Read more about #media here:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_mediaquery.asp
Responsive web design is a wide variety of information on the Internet ,and the information is abstract,philosophical,and anecdotal.
Most of the time, in responsive mode we hide or display content.
For example: slideshow can be hidden in 480px less screens. for that we display a banner still banner with large text to explain the section / content.
So content can be changed with CSS. But the content does not change or added. Normally content is already loaded. But the showing will be changed with the responsiveness.
PS. your link does not work.
I have been given a task to convert an already hosted website into responsive. My working knowledge on CSS is below average.
In that quest, I heard about media queries. I looked for a solution, but what I got was more confusion. Media Queries? I tried responsinator.com and checked my website in that. Actually I don't know how to know whether a website is responsive or not.
My website fits the mobile screens. Header and footer automatically adjusts themselves.
There is a big slider and it just got cropped, but still loads images and works fine. If my website is responsive, how come the slider get cropped?
To make a responsive CSS, Will I have to make any changes to the values in my already existing CSS? Or will I have to just add my styles (without any edits) into the media queries given below.
#media(max-width:480px){
/*PUT YOUR CLASSES STYLES HERE*/
}
your media query defines which part of your css to look in, think of it like an if statement.
When it falls within a media query in your css file, your css has be defined to cater for that screen size,
Just because your page objects crop when you make the screen smaller does not make your site responsive,
best take your phone or tablet and visit your site, if the user interface is simple, easy and smooth, then you dont have to worry, but if you have a desktop styled site on a phone as wide as your numpad on the keyboard, you have some work to do.
It's quite difficult from my experience to "convert" a static website into a responsive one, especially if you do not have good CSS knowledge. Try to find elements with a fixed width and make them fluid by experimenting with max-width and procentual width values. Hope this helps.
I have seen the option of loading different css files[called responsive web designing] for different screen sizes. But I want to know if there is some other way through which I can keep the CSS uniform.
I have to adjust the width of a title bar that should be of the same size as browser window with some margin-right
<toolbar width="some px value" margin-right="some px value">
I need some spacing at the end of the browser screen
Can I somehow get the current width of the browser screen and thus adjust my titlebar accordingly
"toolbar" defaults to being displayed as "inline". Try using "block". See this fiddle.
But I don't think "toolbar" is a valid html tag-name (I might be wrong). In any case old versions of Internet Explorer have a hard time figuring out what to do with certain tags (like most new semantic html5 tags) and won't apply any css to them.
If you feel the need to use new semantic tags and still need legacy browser support I recomend using Modernizr. Including it at the top of your page will use a small browser hack to get support for these tags even in old browsers.
I have redesigned only the Home page using the DIV tags from Traditonal HTML tables,
http://www.cricandcric.com
After that my page looks scattering across the screen, if the screen resolution increases.
for the lower screen resolution its looking good, IE and Mozilla compatible
I am not able to make out the mistake which is done, can any one help me check this out.
Can any one share the resources if they on how to make the website which is developed using either HTML or IE more compatible with all VERSIONs of IE and Firefox, with all the different resolutions format, it should work fine,
if any one has any good article share the link to me.
thanks in advance
your "middle1" section has a width defined as 1004px so should be almost the same size as the navigation, however the contents two tables and a div are positioned such that they dont float (certainly I cant see any floating in your CSS).
You're also using tables for layouts - i think thats the crux of the problem. Looks like you are trying to make a three column layout using CSS - have a look at this example: http://ago.tanfa.co.uk/css/layouts/css-3-column-layout-v1.html
I had similar problems for my website and it turned out that fixed width for div elements changed the rendering of the page depending on monitor resolution or screen size. I fixed the problem by using relative width by % instead of px for divs. It was a css issue.
