I'm building a responsive website at the moment and the main site navigation contains 10 links. I've seen a few sites that compress their navigation into a simple drop down select menu when the screen size gets below 480px, but I can't find any tutorials out there that explain how to do this - apart from the CSS Tricks one here:
http://www.css-tricks.com/convert-menu-to-dropdown/
I've tried this tutorial but not had any success with it as I implemented the code and yes I get a lovely menu on the iPhone, but the links don't work and clicking on it makes the page zoom in which is not desirable as this doesn't happen when I don't have the menu in place.
I'm looking for something simple like used on these websites:

anyone?
I managed to find this snippet of code on http://www.w3schools.com here:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_selectmenu
Implemented it and it works just fine - just had to add action="" to the form tag to get the page to validate.

I'm creating my first web app using React and I've implemented some 3D animations using React-Three-Fiber.
I've already deployed the page in github pages and while in Chrome on the desktop, both in the webpage and in localhost the website works flawlessly (has some freezes but that's not the point).
However, when I visit the page on an Android Phone, all the Canvas stop working and display the text multiple times whenever I scroll (I don't really know how to explain what's happening, so I'll leave this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/O0xXEElAjJs?feature=share . You can see that the problem only exists on the Canvas, since the Header is not a Canvas element).
I've tried to load the page on iPhones but it doesn't even load and just crashes.
On two of the Android phones I've tried, the page loaded nicely at start but after some time it started glitching like in the video.
I have absolutely no clue on what is going on, other than the problem lies on the Canvas that I have created.
I assume this is a simple thing that I might have missed but I'm really lost.
Thanks in advance! :D

I'm hoping someone can help direct me with troubleshooting for my portfolio page. I'm currently having issues with a few things and I'm not sure why or how to deal with them. Whenever I try to view them in tablet/mobile views on the deployed link the layout is completely different than when I run a live server with npm start.
The first issue about section in mobile and tablet views displays each paragraph in columns and the black background doesn't cover all of the text or the image.
The second issue is the contact page doesn't display the links on mobile even though the text color is set to black and the contact header doesn't show up on the page.
It was made in React. Below will be the deployed link and link to the github.

I would really appreciate any help or guidance on sorting this out.
Thank you.
first piece of advice is that you have used TOO MUCH CSS, please use only what you really need. You don't need every css property to use on every element.
Your text/paragraphs are showing in column as their parent's display style is set first as inline and then flex. Either don't use it or write display: block
I'm creating a gallery of images in ReactJs. There are a lot of examples online, but i didn't find anything that is perfectly responsive on desktop browsers and also completely mobile friendly.
In particular, when an image is opened on the mobile browser, i need to be able to zoom the photo with a double tap, and close the photo when i drag it to the bottom
I already tried all the principal solution that i found online.
For example, i tried all of these https://reactjsexample.com/tag/lightbox/
and much much more.
I also tried different approaches like CSS rules, Viewport rules, create a simple zoomable html div, etc... But nothing worked.
Basically, what i what to achieve is exactly something like this: https://www.lucapetruzzi.com/gallery/1
Created thanks to this library: https://photoswipe.com/ that unfortunately i can't use in React.
(I also tried the react-photoswipe and react-photoswipe-2 libraries but it seems not maintained and not working with new versions of React)
Thank you for any help
So for previous comments, I wrote a snippet for you, check here
Here are the mainly steps:
use npm install photoswipe so DON'T need to include builded js but NEED to include css in index.html (or you can import in App.css)
write the markup in js component
init it by click button or in useEffect
I'm using the following code to create a custom SoundCloud player:
https://github.com/soundcloud/soundcloud-custom-player
What I have done is:
http://epopengate.org/wp-content/themes/epopengate/test/examples/sc-player-standard.html
What I would like to do is have the track listing appear when the user clicks on the info button...I would like to save space and I don't really need to display what's being shown in that window anyway. What would I need to change in order to do that? I assume something in the JS file, but I'm not sure what to move around to make it work.
I know there is a widget that works similar here: https://soundcloud.com/pages/widgets - but it's flash based so Apple devices would not be able to use it and by creating a track listing that appears when the Info button is clicked, increases mobile compatibility by allowing the user to click because you can't hover with mobile devices.
Thanks,
Josh
You can use HTML5 widget, which is the default option for embeds from SoundCloud now – https://blog.soundcloud.com/2011/11/03/html5/
These will work fine on iOS and Android.
Is there a way to use responsive design principles with Google Sites. Has anyone tried that. Could you direct me to a sample site. I looked at this google help topic but then that is supposedly about exclusively mobile sites.
My main focus is a normal website which is optimized for web rather than primarily a mobile site.
Alternatively would Blogger be a better option in this case as that allows to change CSS.
I think your negative impression is right. It doesn't implement the features you'd expect in responsive design.
The key to your question is that Google Sites don't use a viewport declaration (meta viewport in the head element). If you don't have that, then device browsers treat you as a legacy desktop-only website. They assume you'll break completely below ~830px, and set a page min-width accordingly. That doesn't sound much like responsive design to me.
Google Sites don't let you write your own CSS or HTML HEAD, so you can't implement a more responsive design yourself.
To be fair, you can choose to not set a fixed page width. Also navigations buttons will reflow on relatively narrow windows, if you're using the "horizontal navigation" feature. The latter isn't great design but at least it's degrading gracefully.
There is an option "Automatically adjust site to mobile phones" under Manage site -> General. However many people suggest it's better not to use it :). I tried enabling it on an old site, previewing the page, and selecting "preview in mobile". At least on Firefox on my original netbook (800px width), it was not responsive. It didn't expand to use the 800px screen properly.
As an aside, the line-wrapping (or absence of it) is a pre-existing issue with my site. You could blame this on me for not testing it :). However it illustrates a limitation of the WYSIWYG editor in Google Sites. It doesn't show, check for, or filter out the formatting that causes this problem.
Mobile yes, responsive no.
I was messing with Google Sites today and you can make a site mobile friendly (I had to come here to get started!). I just used the "Blank Template" to mess around with.
You do need to activate (like others that have mentioned):
Options (gear icon) > Manage site > (scroll down to Mobile) Check.. Automatically adjust for mobile phones. Yeah, let's bury that option way down at the bottom!
Considering the whole mobile "push" Google implemented in the spring of 2015 this should be ON by default for any newly created Google Site.
Just selecting that option makes an OK (basic) mobile site. Not a responsive site. So on my iPhone it does scale photos correctly to fit the device and switches the main horizontal menu to the "hamburger" icon/menu. But collapsing the desktop browser window does not produce responsive results.

As a test, I uploaded a way too large photo (2.5mb) to see what would happen. Running the site through Google PageSpeed Insights it did not display any "optimize photos" warning, so seems to serves up an optimized photo for phones and desktops.
I guess the basic theme is actually called "Ski." I tried out the "Legal Pad" theme and it was totally borked on mobile. I think due to the header and content area background images.
To me Google Sites is ideal if you are already heavy into Google's other products... drive, docs, Google+, webmastertools, analytics, etc... As it has links to add those types of items when editing. Or need a quick site for collaborating as you can easily set the site access like YouTube,Drive items.
Also, you are very limited as to what html you can added. Trying to add a script tag gets stripped out when attempting to save. So again depending on the use there are definitely other options out there.
The answer applying to old "Classic" google sites is NO.
If you create your own custom HTML forms with apps script, you can add the #media viewports etc to the css for those pages/forms,so that helps...
but the google site frame around overrides custom css attempting
responsive design at the page level.
now a days its possible to make a responsive Google Site. since Google has enhanced this feature "Automatically adjust site to mobile phones" option in the Manage Site option button.
to find the option- go to> Manage Site> General> , in the general settings page's lower portion you can see a radio button named "Automatically adjust site to mobile phones". Just tick the radio button & u have enhanced the feature.
