Resizing images html/css - css

I have a couple of images in a facebook app. The problem is that the image is quite big and I need it to look well whether it is accessed from a computer or phone. Setting it to some fixed dimension would obviously make it look bad, considering the different screen dimensions.
So, how should I resize it so that it would look well on any screen?

Set the width and height on the img tags to be percentages (of their container):
<img src="http://..." alt="" width="50%" height="30%" />
Adjust percentages to your needs.

Use media queries.
e.g:
#media all and (min-width: 1001px) {
img {
width: 100%; /* insert prefered value */
height: auto;
}
}
#media all and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 700px) {
img {
width: 100%; /* insert preferred value */
height: auto;
}
}
#media all and (max-width: 699px) and (min-width: 520px), (min-width: 1151px) {
img {
width: 100%; /* insert preferred value */
height: auto;
}
}

Try this
img
{
width:100%;/*adjust this value to your needs*/
max-width: the size of the image;/* so it wont get bigger and pixelated*/
height:auto;
}
another option if possible, is to use media queries, so for different browser sizes, you can load different size of the image.
here is a fiddle to see if this is what you are trying to achieve

media min-width don't work correctly in order specified

i try to resize div.social-menu-item. but order of #media min-width don't work correctly for me.
when my screen is less than 500px it uses #media (min-width: 768px).
minimum width is earlier, #media min-width 240px is written before 540px is written before 768px
I can have a question why?!!
I don't know how to resolve this bug!!!
see below picture for more...
.social-menu-item {
height: 100%;
width: 12%;
display: inline-table;
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 240px) {
.social-menu-item {
width: 50%;
background: #fff;
}
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 568px) {
.social-menu-item {
width: 25%;
background: #000;
}
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
.social-menu-item {
width: 12%;
background: #fff;
}
}

i used max-width for resolve this problem for me, but it's not correct it.
This problem doesn't solved,
cause i think the view slider have fixed.
And when i change browser size CSS min-width or max-width don't affect to element. and this problem cant solved!!
Use max-width instead. That should apply the rules in the order that you need:
max-width 768px = 568 -> 768
max-width 568px = 240 -> 568
max-width: 240px = 0 -> 240

In media query use min and max width as you are trying to make responsive and trying to support on basis of conditional width

Why is my stylesheet being ignored by a stylesheet with a lower specificity?

I created a spacing-element that uses two classes:
.spacer-mobile-M = spacing height on mobile devices
.spacer-desktop-0 = spacing height on desktop devices (only active #media (min-width: 992px))
.spacer-blank {
display: block;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.spacer-mobile-M {
height: 20px;
}
#media (min-width: 992px) {
.spacer-desktop-0 {
height: 0px;
}
}
<div class="spacer-blank spacer-mobile-M spacer-desktop-0" aria-hidden="true"></div>
The expected behavior on a 1200px wide screen would be, that the mobile-spacer is being overwritten by the desktop style (higher specificity due to media query and defined later in the code).
However, right now, the desktop spacer is being overwritten by the mobile style.
I only experience this behavior with a spacer that has a lower height than the mobile value.
Is there a rule, that classes with height: 0 or lower height than the general one (without media query) can be overwritten? I can't find anything in Google when I search for specificity.
Thanks for a short hint.
I think the problem could be use two different CSS classes for the same element. If you use media queries, why don't use the same class? For example:
.spacer {
display: block;
height: 20px;
}
#media (min-width: 992px) {
.spacer {
height: 0;
}
}
<div class="spacer" aria-hidden="true"></div>
I don't know the rest of the code, but if on desktop size you want simply hide the spacer also you can use:
#media (min-width: 992px) {
.spacer {
display: none;
}
}

Style "splitting" at breakpoint, mediaqueries

I'm working on developing a style for a site and I'm using media queries as breakpoints. At the breakpoint, the page suddenly decides to listen to some style from the first interval, and some from the second. Please help.
I've tried changing the values of the viewports but this doesn't work. I hope this problem is obvious to someone with more experience than I, because I really don't know what to do.
#media (min-width: 500px) and (max-width: 768px) {
(ex.) #randomDiv {
background-color: blue;
width: 100px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
(ex.) #randomDiv {
background-color: red;
width: 300px;
}
}
When the viewport hits 768px it decides to mix styles, p.e. the background color changes to red, but the width doesn't change. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? After 768px (769px <) everything works just fine, as well as before 768px. Please help.
When using media queries to make your frontend code responsive, it is quite useful to think about the base or starting styles then use the queries to alter those styles in one direction only. What I mean is instead of using max-width and min-width in your queries, start with the non-query styling then override those rules with either min-width OR max-width but not both. This way the changes are seamless and you only need to think about the exact breakpoint location and which styles are being overridden.
In using this approach the order of the media queries in your stylesheet matter too. Notice the widest query goes first here, if I were using min-width instead it would go the other way around.
Try looking at this in "Full page" mode and change the size of your screen down from full width.
#randomDiv {
color: white;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 20px;
/* only background-color & width will change */
background-color: purple;
width: 90%;
}
#media (max-width: 1023px) {
#randomDiv {
background-color: red;
width: 300px;
}
}
#media (max-width: 768px) {
#randomDiv {
background-color: blue;
width: 100px;
}
}
<div id="randomDiv">I am so random.</div>

Bootstrap 3 custom css class depending of devices

I need to set a height on a div and i would like to set it relative to the device screen.
For ie :
/*Extra small devices Phones (<768px)*/
.myClass { height: 200px; }
/*Small devices Tablets (≥768px)*/
.myClass { height: 400px; }
/*Medium devices Desktops (≥992px)*/
.myClass { height: 600px; }
/*Large devices Desktops (≥1200px)*/
.myClass { height: 800px; }
Edit: Improved example at CodePen.
I would add to it from a bit different angle. Often times you might need to perform different operations in JS depending on your breakpoint. For that purpose I often use:
<div class="device-xs visible-xs"></div>
<div class="device-sm visible-sm"></div>
<div class="device-md visible-md"></div>
<div class="device-lg visible-lg"></div>
These 4 divs allow you check for currently active breakpoint. For an easy JS detection, you can have a set of 4 functions like this one :
function isMobile() {
return $('.device-xs').is(':visible');
}
Your question lacks enough detail for me to help you better, but in case what you need can't be achieved by simply defining different properties of an element in a different media query, you could assign certain class, at any point, by:
if( isMobile() ) {
$('.someClass').css('property', 'value');
}
#media screen and (max-width: 768px){
.myClass{
height:200px;
}
}
Generally with responsive webpages you just let content resize itself and just make divs the same height as eachother when they are on the same row. I assume you are using bootstrap as they have the same breakpoints. However I don't know the exact problem you are trying to solve so:
This mobile first approach by not adding media query for the smallest breakpoint as it is the default anyway. This will deal with infinitely large screen by setting height to 800px.
.myClass {
height: 200px; /*default extra small*/
#media (min-width: 768px) /*small*/
{
height: 400px;
}
#media (min-width: 992px) /*medium*/
{
height: 600px;
}
#media (min-width: 1200px) /*large*/
{
height: 800px;
}
Look at media queries.
#media (max-width: 768px) {
.myClass {
display: none;
}
}
#media (max-width: 992px) {
.myClass{
display: none;
}
}
#media (max-width: 1200px) {
.myClass{
display: block;
}
}
Use the viewport width and height after declaring the viewport meta tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
you can set .myClass height as a percentage of the viewport height and get rid of the media queries, like this:
.myClass { height: 30vh; }
You'll also need to define default class, for example screen size - greater than 1200px
/*Extra small devices Phones (<768px)*/
#media only screen and (min-width:768px){
.myClass { height: 200px; }
}
/*Small devices Tablets (≥768px)*/
#media only screen and (max-width:768px){
.myClass { height: 400px; }
}
/*Medium devices Desktops (≥992px)*/
#media only screen and (max-width:992px){
.myClass { height: 600px; }
}
/*Large devices Desktops (≥1200px)*/
#media only screen and (max-width:1200px){
.myClass { height: 800px; }
}

Responsive WebDesign Questions

Ok so today I said hey, let's learn us some Responsive Web Design Techniques. So far so good I suppose ;)
#media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
#avacweb_chat{
height: 70%;
width: 600px;
}
}
#media screen and(min-width:600px) {
#avacweb_chat{
height: 70%;
width: 540px;
}
}
#media screen and(min-width:480px) {
#avacweb_chat{
height: 500px;
width: 320px;
}
#chatbox_members{
display:none;
}
}
#media screen and(min-width:320px) {
#avacweb_chat{
height: 360px;
width: 220px;
}
#chatbox_members{
display:none;
}
}
I wanted to ask a few question to some of my great S.O. members, so I see the media query is focused on screen is there anyway to do this
#media #avacweb_chat and (min-width: 500px) {
}
Or are we only allowed to focus on screen size? Also are we allowed to use transitions and transform in these media queries? (I know IE won't support). these are the only two questions I have.
Focusing on size of another element besides Screen
Adding CSS3 to the queries.
Also are we allowed to use transitions and transform in these media queries?
Yes, for sure. Simply include them as you normally would
is there anyway to do this
#media #avacweb_chat and (min-width: 500px) {
}
Not sure what you are getting at here. If your goal here is to cusomise the avacweb_chat div for viewports above 500px, use
#media (min-width: 500px) {
#avacweb_chat{
/* some styles here */
}
}
If you are just getting your feet wet with responsive design, have you considered some of the options like Bootstrap or Foundation or one of the many other good choices. They aren't necessarily for everyone, but they'll get you off to a fast start.
Have fun with RWD!
