Hi Ron, I usually put width:100%;max-width:600px; for situations where the element will fill the screen up to a certain size and then max it so it stops at the width I desire.
And yes, like Tom said, you have to point to something to make it change in your media query. @media ... (...) { #some_element { width:100%; max-width:600px; } } HTH, Best, Karl Sent from losPhone > On Feb 21, 2017, at 7:25 AM, Ron Zisman <ronzis...@mac.com> wrote: > > karl, > > http://ricochet.org/plastics_feb20.html > > i’ve been trying to work with media queries. i think understand the basic > concepts, i’ve done some tutorials, rebuilt the html and am still banging my > head. > > i theory, it seems like it shouldn’t be that hard. a wrapper and fixed > container. when i apply the query, it goes liquid and won’t hold the 600 > measure. > > sorry to be so dense, but i’m going nuts—i’m done a few tutorial from litmus > .no <http://litmus.no/> luck. i was hoping to get an extremely simple example. > > > most of the examples i’ve seen have a ton of resets and queries—its a blur. > its not from not trying. —thanks again, > > ron >> On Feb 19, 2017, at 10:05 PM, Karl DeSaulniers <k...@designdrumm.com> wrote: >> >> Ron, >> Quick and simple. >> >> Google: CSS Media Queries example >> >> Download, dissect and learn. >> >> GL! >> >> Best, >> >> Karl DeSaulniers >> Design Drumm >> http://designdrumm.com >> >> >> >> >>> On Feb 18, 2017, at 7:14 PM, Ron Zisman <ronzis...@mac.com> wrote: >>> >>> hi all, >>> >>> http://ricochet.org/plastics_engineering.html >>> >>> i’m new to email, but most of the table coding went ok, but as i’m trying >>> to make it responsive, >>> i need media queries. i understand the concept, but am having trouble with >>> reality. >>> >>> a little direction would be appreciated. >>> >>> thank you in advance, >>> —ron >>> ______________________________________________________________________ >>> css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] >>> http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d >>> List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ >>> List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html >>> Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ >> >> ______________________________________________________________________ >> css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] >> http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d >> List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ >> List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html >> Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ > > ______________________________________________________________________ > css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] > http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d > List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ > List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html > Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
