It looks great in Chrome even when you resize the browser, everything looks great. However, in Firefox, columns overlap one another and images don't resize.
The main grid classes are .c-1 (the smaller width column) and .c-2 (the width of two .c-1 columns). Whats going on in my code to cause this problem?
For quick reference, I'm using CSS3 box-sizing: border-box for my grid, here's the code for my .c-1 and .c-2 classes:
.c-1 {
width: 288px;
float: left;
margin-left: 28px;
display: block;
}
.c-2 {
width: 604px;
float: left;
margin-left: 28px;
display: block;
}
.c-1:first-child, .c-2:first-child, .c-1:nth-child(4n+1) { margin-left: 0; }
I'm also using the following code for responsive images:
img {
border: 0;
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
vertical-align: middle;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 1.875em;
}
EDIT Ok I've seemed to have fixed the responsive images for most sections now. A classname of .active was missing a width value but I've still got a crazy problem with the Blog section. Even though the same layout has been used on that page (.c-1 and .c-2 inline together) this section seems to overlap one another...odd!
Ok well it seems Firefox doesn't like calculating widths of elements when these elements don't have a width specified, which explains why responsive images were not working. An image set to max-width must have a container with a set width otherwise images won't scale.
I thought browsers defaulted elements to 100% width, if a width hasn't been specified in the CSS?
Anyways, all fixed now. Put widths on your wrappers people!

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;
}

Doing this site for an assignment due tomorrow. In the proccess of making it responsive.
I am having an issue with the last color block, although its put into its container using percentages, it keeps moving out. In chrome its outside it straight away, whereas in Firefox its only when I resize. Although the difference is only a few pixels, so I'd assume its to do with the monitor size.
Any ideas guys? I'm stumped.
Try add this code snippet into your css file.
#tab-1 > div > div
{
width: 8%;
}
You can change the width.
Good Luck!!
Try using property " display:inline-table " for the class color_container
and give margin for the smaller color divs for space inbetween
try putting slightly smaller percentages(in the color block) and test it until it looks good. also it fits right in wider monitors as you say, because you have one css, that is best for wide screens. the point of responsive design is to have more than one media queries if the one you have breaks the design in smaller screens. so either make the color blocks really small, or myou should make more media queries
Your issue here is display: inline-block;. When you use it, it adds an extra space between elements. If you want to sort out this, you have 2 fixes:
a) negative margin-right
.box {
display: inline-block;
width: 8.74%;
height: 100%;
margin-right: -4px;
}
b) font-size: 0; on the container and default font-size on the elements inside
.color_container {
width: 98%;
height: 60px;
min-height: 60px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #fff;
font-size: 0;
}
.box {
display: inline-block;
width: 8.74%;
height: 100%;
font-size: 1em; /* or what is your default font-size */
}
I've gone through CSS validation (which did find some pesky unclosed tags, sorted now).
I'm trying to align an image to the top right side of my page, with title text on the top left.
I can do this, but when I resize the browser window the image always wants to overlap the title text before either of them resize. If I remove the margins that I've used to place the image then the image sits under the title text (and to the right) instead of just to the right of it, but I feel removing this (while keeping the positioning) might be key. I do need the image to be overlapped by some other elements though.
Here's a snippet of my code for the image:
img#site-logo {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
clear: both;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
margin: -12.87em 2em -16em 0px;
}
And for the site title:
#site-title a {
font-size: 4.875em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 78px;
padding: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}

There are surely several different approaches to solve your problem.
But in my eyes it would be the best solution to set a min-width for your #page element.
#page{
min-width:900px;
}
I have played a little bit around with the width and think a min-width of 900 px fits best in your case.
I have padding to the right of my archives and search page and I believe it has to do with my body element, however I'm not quite sure what is different on these pages are from the other pages on the site of which are all fine for style wise as they all use the same format. It's a wordpress website. As I said, it's only happening to this page and the search page and all others are fine, so I'm confused as to what it's doing.
html { font-size: 100%; overflow-y: scroll; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; background: url(img/BG.jpg) repeat; min-width:1024px; }
body { margin: 0px; padding 0px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.231; background: url(img/NAV-bg.jpg) top repeat-x;}
header { width: 960px; height: auto; margin: 0 auto; display: block;}
#container { width: 960px; margin: 20px auto; padding: 0 1.5em;}
aside { width: 260px; height: auto; float: left; position: relative;}
#main { width: 650px; height: auto; float: right; position: relative;}
#footer { width: 100%; min-width:1024px; display: block; height: 503px; background: url(img/FOOTER-bg.jpg) repeat-x; background-color: #821d20; position: relative; top: 100px; }
If you decrease the size of your window you'll notice that a scroll bar on the bottom of the page shows up and then the padding on the right starts to take shape. If you make your window larger that padding space is then gone and the scroll bar on the bottom disappears. Have I restricted my body tag in any way to have this happen?
I've looked through this one but I already have a min-width defined.
Website has strange whitespace on right side of the page when the browser is resized to a smaller window
In your style.css file at Line 108, remove the width attribute from the header tag to fix your horizontal scrollbar issue.
Fixed CSS:
header { height: auto; margin: 0 auto; display: block;}
For review, 3D View in Firefox browser shows the header as the gray bar with is the root of your problem. The other styles that create the text are not affected.
Tip: Right mouse-click the above image and view in new tab to see in original size.
Ah, if I'm understanding your problem correctly, it appears that the tag header, specifically its style width: 960px, is what is causing this peculiar occurrence. The containing div around the header, #main, only has width: 650px. As a result, the excess width of the header causes it to extend beyond the edge of the div.
The reason why it seems to be appearing as padding only at smaller screen widths is because the containing div around all that, #container, is centered by its margins - so the effects of the over-wide header won't become apparent until the browser is thin enough such that its right edge begins to overlap the right side of the header.
Rather than fixing this by just dropping the width: 960px from the styles of the header (which may mess up the site where this width for header tags is actually needed), I would suggest adding an overriding class to all offending tags, perhaps on the lines of .archive-header { width: auto; }. But I guess the solution is up to you, since you probably know the site better than I do.
I hope this helps! (I really do, otherwise you'd have read all this for nothing! Sorry if you did...) For the future, try downloading Firebug for Mozilla Firefox, which has a handy element inspector which will let you play around with the styles of elements to see what works. It should help you spot these kinds of issues on your own, so you can fix them quicker.
If you will notice when you visit... http://www.thebattleforarcadia.com/construction/index.html when you shrink the size of the screen the top bar content overflows it's parent div and runs over the rest of the website.
What I want to do is, if in-case the resolution of the receiving end is too small, I want to force them to have to use the scrollbar at the bottom so they can see everything. Just so the website is displayed properly.
Any coding ideas?
Thank you,
Aaron
Add...
min-width: 1260px;
at the
#news-container
css rule.
Your website will display fine in 1280x** resolutions but there will be a vertical scrollbar in anything less than that (in width).
Perhaps you could make the min-width 960px and make the text expand in two lines (pushing the top graphic a bit) ? Just a suggestion
EDIT: here's an example
#news-content {
float: left;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-top: 12px;
overflow: auto;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#news-container {
width: 100%;
background: url(images/news-background.png) repeat-x left bottom;
z-index: 10;
}
#news-header {
width: 150px;
height: 23px;
float: left;
padding-left: 25px;
}
The above example will make the header "Expand" when the resolution is shrinked without forcing screenwidth < 1280px users to use the vertical scrollbar
Give the body element or any other element that is setting the width you want a min-width to match that. This should make sure that whenever the page is being viewed on a smaller resolution have a horizontal scroll-bar
