I built this site via Google Web Designer (ZippyDriver.com) and want it to scale to my viewport but haven't figured out how to do it. I don't want a responsive site — just want it to stretch to the screen if possible. Any ideas???
Have you tried to change all your elements size to % instead of px dimensions?
You can achieve this by selecting any of your elements, lets say an IMG, then in its Properties -> Size and Position be sure it shows the IMG dimensions in % not in px.
After that, try resizing the viewport and see if it works.

I am trying to implement a full screen responsive image solution with the following loose requirements
0-600px > displays small image
601-900px > displays medium image
901-2000px > displays large image
After a bit of digging, I decided to work with the dimensions for:
iphone 6 > 414x736
ipad > 768x1024
I created separate images for each screen size (art direction purposes) and used the following srcset code
<img src="/assets/images/414X736/artGallery.jpg"
srcset="/assets/images/414X736/artGallery.jpg 414w,
/assets/images/768x1024/artGallery.jpg 768w,
/assets/images/1920x1080/artGallery.jpg 1920w">
The images have the following CSS (so it behaves like background:cover)
img {
display:block;
height:100vh;
width:100vw;
object-fit:cover;
}
I sized my desktop monitor small, and resized until full screen, the images where substituted at the right place
However, on my phones and tablets, it consistently showed the 1920 image
Ideally, I would like to substitue the images when scaling the browser window from small to large and large to small
My understanding of srcset is that once it's loaded the largest image, it doesn't load smaller ones
Help and suggestions appreciated
If you want to make some sort of Art Direction, you need to use <picture> instead of srcset-w.
By the way, your code misses a sizes attribute, which is mandatory if you use the srcset attribute with w descriptors.
I have a Content Slider (All-in-one-banner sort of) on the home page of my website.
Every time this banner slides onto the next image in the queue, the other images (png format) on my page are getting pixelated. Especially it happens in Chrome.
Images and Icons such as the logos, icons used for navigation, etc... - they get pixelated when a new slide changes on the banner.
Please help me.
Demo link (Open in chrome):
When the slides in the banner change, Look at the logo on the top and the logos to the right, and also the profile pics below,: indiaemerge.com/ieys2013
The solution I could figure out is that one should NOT use an image with large dimensions.
For example: I was trying to use an image of size 800px X 400px to fit it into a division of 200px X 50px. Because of this the image was getting distorted when slides would change.
I reduced the dimensions and resolution of the image to match the target division's dimensions and it worked.
Another way to fix this is to use an svg image file.
So the lesson to be learnt here is that always try to use an image (in case it is png or jpg) whose size meets your requirement as precisely as possible. If it is an svg image file then there won't be any problem.
It seemed so simple just a day ago, but I can't figure it out:
How do I center an image on a page, giving it fixed % margins (10% on all sides) and still have it scale with the window on resize?
It's very important that the page and the image display well on all platforms, without scrollers (!).
The page itself is very simple and only contains the image (which on different versions of the page has different dimensions), and a bar on the top with a link to send it to another page.
The max size of the image would be 1500x1000px, no minimum size.
I wholeheartedly hope someone can help me out with this, thanks so much!
Best way to do that is using JavaScript. Get the window size, subscribe for window.onresize event and update the image size and position accordingly.
Using CSS only will NOT work, because any position properties depend on the container. In your case the container is the window, which will size itself based on the content. This creates a sort of circular dependency (window size depends on the image, the image size and position depend on the window size).
For information about getting the exact available window size in cross-browser way you could check this post: Get the size of the screen, current web page and browser window - haven't done that in a while to provide you with exact code.
Also note that you don't mention keeping the aspect ratio of the image. If it should not be maintained there is no way to do it HTML/CSS only, because all operations with them do maintain AR of images.
I am making a responsive portfolio website using WordPress. I have a small issue that is breaking the layout. All images are meant to be 300px wide by 200px high.
I have also used the WordPress API to crop images if the user uploads images that are larger than the above mentioned dimensions
add_image_size( "portfolio", 300, 200, true );
What this does for me is that it inserts the width="300" and height="200" attributes to the images automatically (but the original dimensions of the image stay the same they are just being resized) This works well except when i try to resize my browser window..
Here is a senario: The client uploads an image with dimensions 300px wide and 210px high.. initially it is being resized and shown hence the layout is perfect but when i resize the browser the images gets resized as well but with respect to its "original dimensions".. hence the image with the original height of 210px is larger that the rest of the images.. and as i am floating all the images to form a 3 column layout the difference in height breaks the layout (shifting the column below this large image to the right and leaving an empty column below itself.)
How do i fix this issue? I thought of using timthumb to resize all images before they are display.. hence changing the original dimensions of the image on the fly but i think this is not an efficient way? Any other solution to this problem ? Also i dont want to using anything like jQuery Masonry as i have a specific layout to maintain.
Thanks
You can use the max-height rule from css to limit the height of all images equally.
eg:
.gallery img{
max-height: (some height);
}
Use % or em for the height, pixels might not work as well in a responsive design.
what i'm trying to do is displaying a set of images in a grid like fashion but with different sizes as for images in landscape or portrait position, this excludes using the NSCollectionView because the item prototype's size can only be set once...
i'd go and add subviews programmatically to a scrollView but this yet again when the window's size changes and the scrollView get a bigger width, there will be just blank spaces on the right side...

thanks in advance you guys...
what i ended up doing was implementing a purely mathematic algorithm where i calculated the (x,y) position for every new added photo depending on the previously added photos and it did a pretty good job... the container holding the photos was embedded in a scrollView, needless to say that i had to calculate the height of this container as well.
