While I realize the roots of this issue are in HTML+CSS for me and likely many others it is a Django template issue. I've experimented with Bootstrap, Javascript, HTML and CSS 'solutions' yet find many of these solutions lacking in the areas of cross platform compatibility, and portability. I'll rephrase my question on another thread hoping it will draw some comparative discussion in the area of what methods others are using for determining screen dimensions as it relates to formatting of of Django templates.
