[WSG] RE: WSG Digest

2011-09-27 Thread Dave Smith
 
Hi Tee

When trying the max/min width approach, was the Meta Viewport Tag used?
The Meta Viewport Tag as found in the Viewport section on 
http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariHTMLRef/Articles/MetaTags.html


meta name=viewport content=width=device-width,initial-scale = 
1.0 is the standard one you'll see around the place including HTML5
 Boilerplate. And this compliments the min/max approach (makes it sane).
Equally I found using meta name=viewport content=initial-scale=1.0 
worked, but I have yet to test it on many devices.
The difference between the two are that on iOS the first will always keep the 
viewport width the same in both orientations, i.e. 320 portrait and landscape 
on iPhone. Whereas the second will be 320 in portrait and 480 in landscape.

There is a bug in iOS that when using either of the above where orientating to 
landscape zooms the viewport. This was irritating to begin with but only 
requires a quick pinch to correct. There are hacks that fix it but so far I've 
only seen ones that disable zoom. I like zoom, so prefer to leave the bug with 
iOS.

If not seen already, PPK's A Tale of Two Viewports is an excellent insight into 
this crazy world :D http://www.quirksmode.org/mobile/viewports.html

all the best, Dave @davesmiths

 
 I would love to hear what other think about the approach for 
 device-width vs max/min width.
 
 For myself, I have done a couple sites targeting device-width and really 
 think this is better approach. The hype about responsive design got me 
 to try out the max/min width approach, I find that I need to tackle more 
 the the window resizes (and this means writing more CSS rules means 
 penalizing touchscreen device user), and the experience can be quite 
 awful seeing it from desktop browser. 
 
 I'm sort of in a defeated mood right now, really feel that except the 
 ego to show off, I'm unable to find a convincing reason that desktop 
 user needs to be given a responsive website anything smaller than 
 800px.

Re: [WSG] media queries can't understand body tag

2011-09-27 Thread Frances de Waal
Hi Tee,

As far as I know all the stylesheets ánd all the linked resources in them like 
background-images will be loaded with meadia-queries. So I am afraid that the 
large background image that you try to avoid for mobiles, will be loaded anyway 
as long as you try to solve this with media-queries.

 Please see this.
 
 http://bit.ly/mWvfWC
 
 The reason I want to target body tag in media queries is because I don't want 
 to panelize mobile user to load the large background image.  I started first 
 with min-width but the result was more problematic, so I switched to 
 max-width. As to the reason why there is a min-width and max-width separately 
 for 1024px is because I want to use a background image (no repeat-x) that 
 fills up the width of the desktop's screen (e.g. 2500px), and there is no 
 reason to ask the 1024 screen resolutions' user loads this large image.

What are you basing this on?

A quick test in Chrome and Firefox on OS X and Chrome on an old G1
Android phone, at least, shows that *not* to be true; a background
image is only loaded for the rule that matches the applicable media-
query. You can watch the logs (or developer console) and see other

What browsers/platforms have you tested where this doesn't work?

Safari is a Webkit-based browser like Chrome, so I expect them to

only the media-query-specified one.

Actually, the way you have this, I think it will work. If you had
something in your base styles, or in the first media query that was
set to display:none with a bg image, then that may get downloaded
anyway. Again, tell me how to check and i'll be glad to test it for

Hi Tom,

Thank you. I don't know how to check it either, I have iPad and iPod, so would 
like to learn how to check too.

Used to think browsers load all bg images even with display none declared, and 
one of the reasons I wanted to try out the min/max width approach this time is 
because I (thought) read it from Responsive Web Design ebook by Ethan Marcotte, 
that by targeting the rules in the media queries it prevent browers from 
loading unnecessary rules. But I can't find this important peice of info from

Re: [WSG] media queries can't understand body tag

2011-09-27 Thread Tom Livingston
I have that as well. I believe with the approach you have - mobile
first, ala 320andup (http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/projects/320andup/)
- you don't put anything on the page (or in the style) for mobile
unless you really want it there and loading. As opposed to using media
queries to go from desktop to mobile and turning off what you don't
want to show on mobile. Admittedly, I have done this a couple times,
but they were small overhead sites.

Re: [WSG] media queries can't understand body tag

like desktop version.

Sent from my iPhone




With Android/2.2.2 [low-end touch screen] there is a horizontal yellow 
loading bar above the address bar-- it begins at the left rail and moves 
to the right rail. Opera Mobile and OperaMini on Android both have a 
circular whirling gizzmo loading button [same on a low-end SanyoMirro]. 
I had an iPhone several years ago but have forgotten what it used to 
display downloading. I am sure there  is a more scientific method than 
watching[timing] the loading gizzmo-- just don't know what it is. And 
either way, I did not memorize Tee's page address, and don't have time 
to look it up, or I'd check that page on my handset...

As I said in my original email: set up a test page on one of your
servers and tail the appropriate log file; you can see when images
are fetched.

The original question was about media queries, not elements set to
`display: none`, but the same method should work.
