If not to use px for media breaks, what should be used?


You are using 'em' now, which is OK in itself.

But, a given 'em' value does only correspond to a given 'px' value at a 
given zoom level, which means 'em' is not a good substitute for 'px' for 
screen-width breaks towards smaller devices where zoom level literally 
is "all over the place".


Or, to put it another way: how many 'px' is '30em' at _what zoom level_?

So, if you mean 'px', use 'px' values.
If you mean 'em' use 'em' values.
If you mean _both_ 'px' and 'em' _under certain conditions_, combine 
'px' values and 'em' values the right way in the same media query combo.

Georg

ems are becoming the preferred unit.

Media breaks work, although what width they kick in at varies with font-size so 
no point referring to them in CSS pixels.

Setting 'height' on containers with 'overflow: hidden' do lead to lost content. 
You should rethink that part.

[css-d] Phone breaks: unsure if working or not

2014-04-17 Thread John Johnson
At this link:  http://coffeeonmars.com/W130/assignments/JJ-responsive/ I have a 
small template with a media break for 768 and one for 320 (tablet and phone) On 
my authoring computer I got everything working perfectly.

This morning, I transfer my work folder to my other mac, running same FF 
version, 28, and the phone break doesn’t work!  Came to school tried on  their 
macs and it DOES work.

I don’t know what is truth and what is not truth; I do not own a plethora of 
phones and computers, I rely on FF responsive web tool to show me how my breaks 
are performing.. 

Can someone explain what, if anything, is going on? Does FF have “bad hair 
days?” need to have its prefs tossed?

Thank you!

John
