title: "How to fit web page to screen size in html"
tags: html
canonical_url: https://kodlogs.com/blog/308/how-to-fit-web-page-to-screen-size-in-html
STEP 1: First thing, you can do make website with % widths
Code:
.WebContainer{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.articles{
width:90%; /*Takes 90% width from WebContainer*/
height: auto;
margin: auto;
}
However, this method is less effective. Suppose a user loads the website from a mobile device. It takes the width from screens 100% which is very small amount of space. So, we need to go further step.
STEP 2: In this method we can give minimum width with percentages
.WebContainer{
width:100%;
min-width:1000px;
height:auto;
}
So, website decreases just up to 1000px
STEP 3: In this process we are going to use effective way of HTML and CSS
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test CSS3 HTML5</title>
<!--[if IE]>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<script src="http://css3-mediaqueries-js.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/css3-mediaqueries.js"></script>
<link href="IEStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]> -->
<link href="StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen" />
<link href="MobileStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) , only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) , screen and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio:1.5)" />
<!-- <![endif]-->
<!--[if IEMobile]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<script src="http://css3-mediaqueries-js.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/css3-mediaqueries.js"></script>
<link href="MobileStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<![endif]-->
</head>
<body>
<div class="Container">
<header>
<span>Adjustable WebSite Example using HTML5 CSS3 </span>
</header>
<nav>
</nav>
<div class="content">
<section class="main_articles">
<article class="siteDescription">
<div class="desImage">
<img src="Images/css_image.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="des">

</div>
</article>
</section>
<aside class="side_article">
<div class="ads">

</div>
<div class="ads">

</div>
</aside>
</div>
<footer>
</footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
For above HTML mark-up we have used semantic HTML.
STEP 4: In this process we are going to do explanation with basic CSS properties
body, html {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #ededed;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';
}
.Container {
width: 90%;
min-width: 500px;
margin: auto;
}
header {
width: 100%;
height: 120px;
line-height: 120px;
background-color: #313131;
}
header span {
color: #fff;
font-size: 30px;
padding-left: 20px;
}
nav {
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
background-color: #ff6a00;
}
.content {
width: 100%;
height: 700px;
padding: 10px 0px;
background-color: #fff;
}
footer {
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #808080;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.main_articles {
width: 70%;
float: left;
height: 650px;
margin-left: 10px;
}
.side_article {
width: 25%;
float: right;
height: 600px;
border-left: 1px dotted #6d6d6d;
}
.siteDescription {
display: -moz-box; /* Firefox*/
display: -webkit-box; /* Chrome */
display: -ms-flexbox; /* IE 10 */
display: flexbox;
flex-direction: row;
flex-align:start;
width: 95%;
height: 150px;
}
.desImage {
-webkit-box-ordinal-group: 1; /* iOS 6-, Safari, Opera*/
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1; /* Firefox*/
-ms-flex-order: 1; /* IE 10 */
-webkit-order: 1; /* Chrome */
flex-order: 1;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
}
.desImage img {
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
margin-left: 5px;
border: 2px solid #6d6d6d;
}
.des {
margin-left: 15px;
-webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2; /* iOS 6-, Safari, Opera*/
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2; /* Firefox*/
-ms-flex-order: 2; /* IE 10 */
-webkit-order: 2; /* Chrome */
flex-order: 2;
width: 70%;
height: 140px;
background-color: #e9e9e9;
padding: 5px;
}
.ads {
width: 90%;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
height: 150px;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 10px;
background-color: #e5eff3;
}
First, we removed the browser default margin and padding. Then set the background color and font.
STEP 5: In this process we are doing some modification when screen comes to width of 900px
@media all and (max-width: 900px) {
.side_article { /* Hide advertisement panel*/
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}
.siteDescription {
width: 100%; /* Earlier 70%*/
}
.main_articles {
width: 90%;/* Earlier 95%*/
}
}
STEP 6: In this process we are going to do some space modification when the screen gets up to 700px
@media all and (max-width: 700px) {
header {
height: 90px; * Earlier 120px*/
line-height: 90px; * Earlier 120px*/
}
header span {
font-size: 20px; /* Earlier 30px*/
}
.des {
width: 50%; /* Earlier 70%*/
background-color: #e9e9e9;
}
}
STEP 7: In this process we are going to do some modifications when screen up to width of 500px
@media all and (max-width: 500px) {
header {
height: 70px;
line-height: 70px;
}
header span {
font-size: 16px;
}
.side_article {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}
.main_articles {
width: 90%;
}
.siteDescription {
width: 95%;
height: auto;
display: block;
}
.desImage {
margin: auto;
width: 90%;
height: auto;
}
.desImage img {
width: 95%;
margin-left: 5px;
}
.des {
margin: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
width: 90%;
height: 300px;
background-color: #d9d9d9;
}
}
body, html {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #ededed;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';
}
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px), only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) , screen and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio:1.5){
.Container {
width: 90%;
min-width: 480px;
margin: auto;
}
header {
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
line-height: 150px;
background-color: #313131;
}
header span {
color: #fff;
font-size: 35px;
padding-left: 20px;
}
nav {
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
background-color: #ff6a00;
}
.content {
width: 100%;
height: 900px;
clear:both;
padding: 10px 0px;
background-color: #fff;
font-size:35px;
}
footer {
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #808080;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.main_articles {
width: 95%;
float: left;
height: auto;
margin:auto;
}
.side_article {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}
.siteDescription {
width: 95%;
height: auto;
display: block;
margin:auto;
}
.desImage {
margin: auto;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.desImage img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin-left: 5px;
border: 2px solid #6d6d6d;
}
.des {
margin: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
background-color: #d9d9d9;
padding: 5px;
}
}
