Currently I use my #media queries to change font-size based on min-width and max-width.
Should I change over to device-width in my #media selectors?
I do use this beauty ...
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Because of the enormous amount of different screen sizes from tablets to HD screens used in TV studios, the amount of #media selectors gets super large.
I moan, considering phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, home TV screens, TV station screens ... not to mention portrait and landscape orientations.
Zooming on the Browser (CMD +-) does it automatically without my entering gobs of specific #media selectors.
PLEASE ... is there a shorter way?

I'm building a site with materialize css.
The default mobile nav menu on materialize breaks on mobile devices for longer entries. Basically, the words will wrap to the next line and overlap the words below it displaying encrypt-o-jumble.
I went and added specific media queries generally formatted like this.
#media screen and (max-width: 870px) {
.xp-1 {
min-height: 100px;
}
}
I tested these in the chrome browser and they are perfectly responsive.
When I view the same site on any kind of phone, or the chrome browsers phone views the media queries activate as if they were on a smaller screen. Tablets are generally big enough not to trigger the media queries.
For example: at 375px on desktop a line will wrap to the line below. With the media queries this the element will expand, pushing the element below down and creating enough space for the whole link.
When viewed on a 375px iPhone x the element will expand, but the text will get smaller leaving blank space.
I have tried adding a few different meta tags:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">
Here's some screenshots of the menu:

How can I make this display the same on mobile as it does in the browser?
I've read through a ton of info on this site so far, and am continuing to look into this. Any help would be appreciated. :)
In this case materialize was enforcing fixed heights on nested tags within li tags as in the example for their mobile nav menu. I removed the nested ul's and li's and replaced them with divs with padding and hover properties. Now the site is responsive.
Hello am using simple HTML (no responsive framework - very new to web development) and CSS. I want to make a page for mobile only screens. I am aware that there are responsive layouts and frameworks available, but at this point I do not want to use it.
Is there a way to "scale" (not re-arrange like in responsive design and flex box design) the HTML page to fit 100% of the screen. (no scroll, just 100% fits in the screen - more like an mobile app).
If you:
avoid explicitly setting the width of elements on the page, eg the width of an image or a div
and you don't have a viewport meta tag in the head of your doc, eg <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
and you don't have media queries in your CSS, eg #media (max-width: 480px) {... }
then smartphones will typically scale the page to fit the screen.
Good luck, hope this helps!
The iPhone and other smartphone render a virtual window with of 320px. To work with this I used the meta-tag viewport:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
The only problem is that my designer wants every smartphone to take 480px to render. Thus I tried width=480px, but I don't want tablets involved. Only smartphones should take this width of 480px. Is there a professional way to solve this problem (without PHP or JavaScript)?
My site isn't resizing or reorienting on mobile. I tried putting
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0;" />
in the code, but that didn't help.
Is there an easy way to have a site reorient itself on mobile and fit itself on mobile regardless of the orientation?
I've read several posts on this topic, but the solutions don't seem to be working for me.
Use media queries with max-width.
#media(max-width:479px){
//css rules for mobile here
}
Your site should adjust according to orientation.
See here are different media queries you can put in:
Eg iPhone5:
#media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 568px) {
//your css style
}
Use (orientation:landscape) or (orientation:portrait) and do the css edits accordingly.
I'm unsure whether you have designed your site with 'fluid layouts' and 'fluid images'.
I've been experimenting with my first responsive design, but i've hit a small brick wall.
When ajusting the size of my screen on my regular browser, it seems to break fine (one small, one large to start with):
#media screen and (min-width: 1px) {
#media screen and (max-width: 1300px) {
However, when I view it on a mobile phone, it seems to fail what i'm trying to achieve.
It seems to work on my HTC One in Chrome, but doesn't work on the default Android Browser.
It also fails on iPhone 4S, on both Safari and Chrome for iPhone.
I am using
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
Any ideas as to where i'm going wrong?
