I have a website with all content centered. The content has a width of 500px.
I'm only concerned about the content (the 500px) to be visible, how much of the gutter doesn't matter.
For desktop displays I have the following CSS rules:
margin: 0 auto;
width: 500px;
What should be applied so that the content area gets displayed in it's entirety on as many screen sizes as possible (i.e. as small as 320px)?
to support different screen sizes you should use percentage, not pixel. But in case you are more comfortable using fixed width (using pixel) you can use media queries to achieve that.
.container { //start with the smallest screen width
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 40em) { // 640px
.container {
width: 500px;
}
}
But I do recommend you to use percentage instead of pixel. Hope you find this useful.

I am using the bootstrap container to meet my requirements. The container fit perfectly on the large screen as I want. But my requirement is the fill the container on the medium screen and small screen
The container is full width on the small screen, but however for medium screen the width is same as large screen.
My variables for screens
$xsBreakpoint: 0px;
$smBreakpoint: 576px;
$mdBreakpoint: 768px;
$lgBreakpoint: 1024px;
$xlBreakpoint: 1200px;
Container css to take full height
.container {
padding: 0px 0 !important;
}
Html component using container
<div class="container">
<app-help-support-component></app-help-support-component>
</div>
Screenshot on a large screen which is perfect as I required
On the small screen as shown in the below the space should be removed and take the whole screen
I want to remove the space and the container should take whole width.
You need to add media query for make change in container width for medium devices (Device Width <= 1024px) as you required.
for make change in container width in medium devices you need to add the following media query code to you css:
#media (max-width: 1024px){
.container {
max-width: 100%;
}
}
Add this css for your container class:
#media (max-width: 1199px){
.container {
max-width: 100% !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
}
I'm using bootstrap carousel on my site. When opened in a phone the images are huge. Take a look at www.nwberryfoundation.org to see what I mean. Is there a way to reduce the carousel in that view?
I've tried
#media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.carousel {
width: 75%;
}
}
Doesn't seem to make a difference.
Just use below code no need for media query and dont apply width instead try max-width
.carousel{
max-width: 300px; // u can changed it based on ur need or play with %
margin: 0 auto; // required to center div horizontally
}
I'm currently working on a project where we use a slider with images. This slider is displayed with width 100%, and currently we're adjusting the height to make the slider responsive, in case the user resizes the browser window or visits the website using their phone.
However, the website is for an artist who obviously does not want the image to be altered in any way, especially not altering with the aspect ratio. So what we're looking into is having height: auto to adjust the image height correctly according to the width: 100%, without altering the image (aspect ratio) itself.
This does not work like intended however, using the following code:
#media (min-width:1600px) {
#header{
height:auto;
width: 100%;
min-height: 630px;
background-size: 100% auto;
}
#slidershadow {
height: 630px;
}
}
We need to have some min-height, otherwise we cannot display the slider controls correctly. Here is a picture of our current situation (first image) and the expected behaviour (second picture).
Is there a way to resize our slider responsive, but keeping the following in mind:
The aspect ratio of the image cannot be altered;
We cannot crop images too much (only slightly);
There is a minimum height to keep in mind;
If it helps, all images in the slider have the same size.
You have to give a max-width:100% to your img.
Plus background-size only works when you are working with background-images.
Since you are applying max-width to your img there is no need to apply max-width to its parent #header
Last, but not least try not use min-height and height:auto at same time in the same selector.
Below is a working snippet according to the above comments:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto
}
#media (min-width: 1280px) {
#header {
min-height: 500px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 1600px) {
#header {
min-height: 630px;
}
}
<div id="header">
<img src="http://placehold.it/1920x630" />
</div>
I was experimenting with media queries to see the effects.
So I tried using min-width(480px) query to change the width of a div from 100% to 520px when the window was maximised but the width of the div stays 100%.
The code:
#box {
margin: auto;
background: white;
width: 100%;
}
// Media Queries
#media only screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#box {
width: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
background: black;
}
}
So my question is, why does the width of the #box stay as 100% when the window is maximised?
What am I doing wrong?
jsFiddled here is your code with min-width:480px. It applies when the size of available space is bigger than 480px (the black box)
try max-width. This context will apply when available screen space is less then 480 pixels. jsFiddled here, black box will be applied when available space width is lesser than 480px
#media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#box {
width: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
background: black;
}
}
So, your #box is by default 100% width except when the available space is greater than 480px. your code is working OK.
Maybe it's the comment : // Media Queries witch caused an error ?
I think you have the media query wrong. As you have it now, it's changes the content over 480px. Where I think you want it under 480px.
So it should be:
#media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
//code
}
Hence, (max-width: xxx) not, (min-width: xxx).
Example fiddle
I had commented the code using // syntax by accident which isn't supported in CSS, hence the code below that line of comment not working. It now works after I changed it /**/ syntax.
I really thought this would be elsewhere on stack overflow, but I searched fruitlessly for length of time. Forgive me if I missed it.
I have a set of images who need to be made as large as possible (width: 100% to container elem) as long as the container does not grow too wide or the image too tall because of the container width. Aspect ratio needs to be preserved.
I thought I could do this with
img { width: 100%; height: auto; max-width: 500px; max-height: 250px; }
The idea was that if the image hit either the max-width or the max-height given the width and the aspect ratio, it would no longer grow. In reality, this causes the image width to size as wide as possible, but breaks the aspect ratio (squishing the image to max-height) when it is too tall, instead of preventing the image from growing wider.
Is there a better way to go about this? I would like to avoid javascript if possible. My tests are in Firefox 9.
A bit old but using top or bottom padding will keep your aspect ratio. Divide height/width and apply that percentage to the padding top or bottom. It can get tricky sometimes but it works.
Here is a good article about it:
http://voormedia.com/blog/2012/11/responsive-background-images-with-fixed-or-fluid-aspect-ratios
You can use media queries to create a stairstep of fixed image sizes, and then go like this:
#media screen and (min-width: 701px) and (max-width: 900px) {
img {
width: 800px;
height: auto;
}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 901px) and (max-width: 1100px) {
img {
width: 1000px;
height: auto;
}
}
Not very pretty, but it works.
