Re: [css-d] Design Resolution

2016-05-16 Thread Davies, Elizabeth
As Phillippe says ... fluid. The 'limit' is based on readability and the amount and type of content in each section. You wouldn't want a text article to stretch to infinity, nor a site with only small amounts of content on a page (either by focal design or simple lack of content) to do it

I'll be sure to tell all million or so of our random visitors that. But sarcasm aside, I would check 1.) the container of the fieldset to see if you have other limiting factors. 2.) the minimum allowed width of the internal pieces of your fieldset to see if their widths will exceed the

As with the previous authors, I also do not own/carry a mobile device. However, our site visitors do. While I'm neutral overall on Mobile First vs. Desktop First, I can say that going to a Mobile First style sheet reduced our overall CSS by more than half. About 25% of our visitors are coming

Phillipe found the same notes I did. I didn't have a machine in the lab with the requisite resolution and FF version, so my browser version was off. The first bug report I had listed version 28. I did some installs and narrowed it to the '21 good', '22 inflated'. Its not just my site, its

Correct that example URL to https://www.gallupstrengthscenter.com/ ... The same inflation occurs on the GSC site. And it happens whether I put everything to em's, strip out the IE cascade, put all the media queries to em's or rem's. The design stays proportional and does not break, it just

Tom sent me some screenshots and is also not seeing the effect on a Mac. I checked around on our in house Macs, and this appears to be a Windows OS with Firefox effect. What we're seeing is an overall inflation of the entire page (not just font size). Where on a 1920 resolution screen, Firefox

Looking for insight into (and potential correction to) the latest Firefox browsers inflating the overall size/resolution of webpages. We use a mobile first responsive upwards, and in the newest Firefox browsers, what is a reasonable font size in every other browser becomes ludicrously large in

Re: [css-d] dealing with media breaks

2014-03-26 Thread Davies, Elizabeth
Lately I've ceased worrying about device media break points and instead I've focused on our grid. Where we determine what the min/max width of a column is. How wide can one base column stretch, how narrow. When does it evolve to 2 columns, 3 columns, etc.. This has simplified the media breaks.

I disagree on the clearfix bash. Working on dynamically generated sites at an enterprise level with years of legacy content populating widely divergent designs, clearfix was the best thing ever. As the single UX/CSS developer working with multiple development teams, sites and applications ...

I can find an evolution of clearfix across the years, but my latest is what Tom uses, except I use IE conditional stylesheets for IE miscellany. Or did. As of last quarter IE7 is dead to me ... IE8 will be before the end of 2014. In fact, it looks like I'll only have to deal with IE9 remnants

Many thanks David. Great feedback. I get the horizontal expansion or scroll bar on the iPad in horizontal orientation where it zooms in on the rotation. It 'finds itself' if you snap it. Will have to explore why it does that, possibly layer in a viewport media query just for Mac devices. The
