If you view this site and reduce the size of your browser window, the top two primary blocks (image carousel and "Latest News") will overlap: http://africanstudies.stanford.edu/
I have tried a number of methods to fix this, but I can't come up with anything that doesn't overlap and look awful. (I also had to add some width/height settings to the carousel because I think there may be a bug with jCarousel where the entire image is not displayed if you don't specify the height for example.)
What I'd really like to happen is both the blocks scale down as the browser scales, but I'm afraid that's beyond my current capabilities.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to handle this? I can post HTML/CSS, but it's pretty ugly.
You've set the height on #views_slideshow_singleframe_main_home_banner_cycle-block_1 to 270px, if you remove that then it seems to be fine. Btw, you have essentially the same issue in the horizontal direction, i.e. at a certain width the slide show overlaps the Latest News.

As far as I noticed it's super popular and common problem, but all solutions that I have tried failed at the end.
I have a test-ish website: https://mojastrona.hekko.pl/baltyk-strona-glowna/
And what I can't achieve is to fit the background image to any resolution.
Here are my settings for the elementor section:
But that doesn't provide perfect image fit. It is being cut. I tried to add some solutions into .css file, that I have found on the Internet, but none of them works.
What you're trying to do is next to impossible (within reason).
Let's say your image has dimensions of 4:3. Now what happens if someone looks at your website on a 16:9 monitor? The container (and thus the image) would have to either have some blank space above and below OR to the left and right.
There are several reliable alternatives to getting what you want:
Position your image so that the most important pieces of the motive is always present (eg. "center top" so that the text in the top of the image is always visible
Add a "min height" to the parent container - the section would be the obvious choice. Playing around with VH/%-units might give you a more reliable result
Place your image as a simple image-widget instead of as a background-image. Set the width to 100%. Make sure your section is set to "Full width/no gap". Your image will now always be the full width of the screen, without being shrunk by the parent container.
Obviously #3 comes with several limits, as placing content on top of your image is made much harder.

So my wordless theme has a built in slider. It is responsive. The slider is in the background and seems to have a height of 100%. On browsers that are normal width but tall this means that a lot of the image is hidden behind the white background of the content lower down the page. If you resize the page while the slider is on the slide image of the queen you will see why this is a problem. My boss would like it to always show her heard and shoulders.
Is there a way of, on longer shaped browser windows, stopping the image from being 100% height and therefore making it display better on longer height browsers as well as normal shaped ones?
As you can probably tell I'm kind of out of my depth on this one, so any help would be fantastic!
Thanks
Luckily for you there is a quick fix on this particular slider. The elements are set to have a background-attachment of fixed on #slider-container .full-bg-image. Clear it and the whole picture will display. You should then be able to use the background-position to align more specifically for mobile, or only have the fixed position for desktop use with a media query. I'm not sure what method the powers that be would like best :)
Rather than me going into crazy detail with my question: Home Page Here
As the demo shows, when you resize the window, the images try to stay perfectly in the center of the container, as well as fitting the container without displaying the background.
I have one minor bug, if you resize the window vertically, it does ruin the proportions of the images by squishing them. I was wondering if anyone has any tricks to help this situation, or will I need to detect the image size compared to the window height vs proportions?
I was just trying to avoid a javascript layout.
I've looked and there doesn't appear to be another post the is exactly what I am looking for, and I am on a deadline to make this work so lets see if I can explain it better.
We have one page in development on a Drupal site that uses Panels and Views Slideshow. There are a lot of absolute and fixed position elements because of where they need to be on the page. The parent div needs to have a width and height of 100% to fill the page. Keeping in mind that the point of this page is to not have scrollbars and present everything to the user no matter what screen size they are on. So I have media queries cleaning up elements where need be on certain screen sizes.
Though when a user uses their browser to zoom into the page, the elements start shifting and stacking on top of each other. I believe this is because the 100% height/width is adhering specifically to the window size and doesn't expand beyond the window when a user zooms in.
I was able to fix it by removing the 100%'s and replacing them with pixels, but this becomes an issue because if the screen isn't the correct height or width, then you have scrollbars and the user doesn't immediately see everything on the page.
Is there any JavaScript or anything that can utilize the 100% height/width and allow them to expand beyond the page, and turn on scrollbars, during Browser Zoom?
Keep in mind that if a user is zooming in, its OK for the page to spill off and scrollbars to show, but the default screen this is not allowed.
I hope this is OK to show but an example of a page that uses Javascript to scale the entire page is pretty much what I can see myself needing but don't know how.

Any help appreciated and the quicker the better of course :)
This should help. Lets you detect the browser zoom level in mordern browsers.

What is the best way to dynamically change the width and height of an HTML5 video within a webpage? The kind of behaviour I'm referring to is the same thing in the intro video of http://flipboard.com/
When the window is resized, the video still takes up 100% of the viewable size (without scrolling). I noticed that the video gets resized to a certain degree, but stops resizing and gets cropped at some point.
What is the best way to get the same behaviour? I want to have a video take up the entire viewable area of the browser without scroll bars. This is only on a desktop/laptop, I am not considering any mobile devices ATM.
What I have in mind right now is to dynamically change the width/height properties of the video to fit the viewable area using javascript, but also set a minimum size such that the video doesn't get distorted. The video can be placed in a container that is always centered, so if the browser gets to a size that is too small, it effectively gets cropped. I'm not sure if this is too long-winded and if there is an easier way.
Thank you.
It looks like they have the css properties of height and width set to 100%. If you use an element inspector like the one built into chrome or firebug for Firefox, you should be able to see exactly how they structured the html/css for the video element as well as the div its nested in. Then, as you said, also set a min-width/min-height property.
Unless I'm misreading your question, it should be that simple. Hope this helps!
you could do it with "Responsive CSS", there are some ways to do that,
you could set the viewport, max-width, min-width, etc.
This link have a nice explanation how to do that : http://kyleschaeffer.com/best-practices/responsive-layouts-using-css-media-queries/
