Could someone please explain me how I can make this div responsive using media queries? It's practically a 200px high div with sponsor logos on it. I want it to be responsive. Currently the logo's are displayed horizontally but for example, they should be stacking one on top of the other on the mobile version.
<div id="sponsors">
<a id="about" class="smooth"></a>
<div class="sponsors">
<div class="row row-centered">
<div class="col-md-4 col-centered" style="margin-top: 40px; ">
<img src="img/bridgestone.png" class="hvr-pulse" style="width: 400px; margin-top: 20px;";>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-centered" style="margin-top: 40px;">
<img src="img/sparco1.png" class="hvr-pulse" style="width: 400px; margin-top: 20px;">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-centered" style="margin-top: 10px;">
<img src="img/redbull.png" class="hvr-pulse" style=" width: 300px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#sponsors {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background-color: black;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
Change your sponsors height to min-height like this:
#sponsors {
width: 100%;
min-height: 200px;
}

P.s. as you might have noticed in the fiddle, the inline margins are removed because you can achieve what you want by adding some padding to the box wrapping the images.
You'll need to add a meta tag to identify the width and media queries to perform an action when the width is different. It would also be very helpful to add percentage onto your css elements rather than pixels.
HTML:
<!doctype html>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"/>
CSS:
#media screen and (min-width:761px){
div.sponsers{
background-color:black;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
}
A great framework to use since you're just starting out with responsive design would be using Bootstrap, it's easily customised to fit the needs of your project.
There is one good website as well https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries/Using_media_queries

I am developing a project for school and I am pretty new to Bootstrap and I keep having some problems with scaling the website for different resolutions. When I change it to mobile the images go on top of the text. If anybody could help me I would appreciate it.
I have tried everything and still cant find a solution.

When i squish the page
First of all, you probably forgot to include <div class="row"></div> wrapper inside your <div class="container">...</div> element, just as it says here.
Secondly, I strongly recommend you to not play too much with CSS properties such as position: relative/absolute, top: ...; left: ...; right: ...; bottom: ..., because most of them break the CSS native document flow and they should be used only when other tools do not help much.
I suggest you reading this series of articles if you have enough time: CSS layout
I turned off most of the properties of that kind and it already looks much nicer:
This answer would be just be a massive advice if I wouldn't provide some code help, so here it is.
Start by disabling these properties in DevTools:
.home-block{
/* min-height: calc(100vh - 90px); */
}
#home .container{
/* height: 500px; */
}
.left-block{
/* text-align: center; */
/* top: 30%; */
}
.right-block{
/* bottom: 35%; */
/* margin-left: 25%; */
}
Fixing Bootstrap markup:
<div id="home" class="block home-block">
<div class="container">
<!-- Added this wrapper, changed .col-* classes to responsive -->
<div class="row">
<!-- Removed .left-block class -->
<div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-6 left-block">
<div class="text-centered">
<h1>Texter</h1>
<p class="info-text">Send text messages, voice messages, video messages or video call with all your friends and family easily, quickly and securely.</p>
<p class="Medium-text">Download Em Breve</p>
<img src="playstore.png" alt="Playstore" style="height: 40px;">
<img src="appstore.png" alt="Apple App Store" style="height: 40px">
</div>
</div>
<!-- Removed .right-block class, added .text-centered class -->
<div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-6 text-centered">
<!-- Removed inline styles (bad practice), changed "height" to be an attribute -->
<img src="phones.png" height="350">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then you would get this picture (no interval between image and the button on the top):
This one is solved by applying margin-top: ...px; to the image block, wrapped in #media query at .col-md-* resolutions and lower. For the exact values see Bootstrap grid options. For more info on applying #media queries see MDN docs
As for navigation bar, I first suggest you disabling padding-left on ul#menu element:
#menu {
padding-left: 0;
}
Although it fixes it on sm resolutions, the navigation menu still wraps under the logo on resolutions less than about 520px. I suggest you imagine what to do with this occasion in your mind or in some markup service like https://app.diagrams.net/ and then develop what you decided to.
You can use
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
</head>

As Armedin said, you do not have any content inside your div. Width and height 100% won't do anything.
I suggest you to put the image not as background, as it won't change the dimensions of the div. Use img tag and display: inline; for the card div.

Edit: If you do not want to use img you can put the img to invisible and then use the background image as the div would still have the dimensions of the img tag inside. Not a good solution, but it would work.
Learn flex or grid; both very useful for things like this.
Flex example:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.card {
border: 1px black solid;
border-radius: 15px;
flex-grow: 1;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
}
.container {
display: flex;
height: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="card">1</div>
<div class="card">2</div>
<div class="card">3</div>
<div class="card">4</div>
<div class="card">5</div>
</div>
I have a website where I am displaying campsites. However, I want to resize my thumbnails on the homepage so they are all the same size in a way that the images takes up the exact same dimensions.
Hoempage
The code for my page is :
<div class="row text-center" style="display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap;">
<% campsites.forEach(function(campsite){ %>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6">
<div class="thumbnail">
<img id="homegrid" src ="<%= campsite.image %>">
<div class="caption">
<h4> <%= campsite.name%> </h4>
<h5><em><%= campsite.location %></em></h5>
</div>
<p>
More Info
</p>
</div>
</div>
<% }); %>
</div>
I tried the following but it doesn't work :
.thumbnail #homegrid
{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
display: block;
}
To do this most uniformly, I typically use css's background image properties. Instead of a <img>, you use a <div> with the style background-image set like:
background-image: url("/assets/s_thumb.png"); // can be set inline
My css for that div is normally:
width: 100%;
height: 165px;
background-size: 145% 145%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 50% 50%;
Which is making the div conform to the width of the card, setting the height of the image, zooming it slightly (to account for different aspect ratios), and centering it.
I'm trying to center two progress bars over an HTML canvas element.
I've tried various Bootstrap classes, and CSS changes and I just cant make it work unless I just add to the left bars margin. Any help is appreciated.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div id="scoreBoardLeft" class="col-xs-6 text-right"></div>
<div id ="scoreBoardRight" class="col-xs-6"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="pong" class="col-xs-12 text-center"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
* {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
canvas {
background: #eee;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#scoreBoardLeft {
padding-right: 1px;
}
#scoreBoardRight {
padding-left: 1px;
}
#leftScore {
width: 35px !important;
}
#rightScore {
width: 35px !important;
}
.progress {
margin-bottom: 1px !important;
margin-left: auto !important;
margin-right: auto !important;
height: 10px !important;
width: 300px !important;
}
The problem seems to be in that you set:
.progress {
width: 300px !important;
}
The !important flag is overwriting the width:50% for col-xs-6 set by BootStrap.
Simply removing this line seems to fix this problem :)
I've created a fiddle demonstrating this, which can be found here.
Hope this helps!
Edit To Limit Width:
The problem with limiting the width with your current markup is that you would need to set margins on the same class as the Bootstrap column, which would push the elements to the next line with your current HTML markup.
I'd recommend replacing:
<div class="col-xs-6 progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
With:
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
</div>
By adding in this new div and changing the structure as above, you could modify the width of .progress as you were trying to do in the first place, and it would have the desired effect :)
I've created a new fiddle, changed this, and given the bars a width of 30% to reflect the change I think you're looking for :)
The new fiddle can be found here.
To solve my issue I had to disable responsiveness within bootstrap. I then set the width of my grid container equal to that of my canvas element.
Boostrap was probably not the best choice since I did not want a responsive grid, lesson learned.

Basically if I use a percentage height in my CSS it becomes the size of it's contents regardless of how overflow: scroll; is setup. I'm thinking it's got something to do with the float:left; definition on all col-*-* elements. The thing I can't fathom is that when I set the div a fixed height (say height:300px;) everything works. Hence why I'm trying JS/JQ solutions but apparently even $(window).height() is getting the document height in Chrome and not the 'viewport' height.
Here's the page as it stands with a fixed height. http://azarel-howard.me/stage-management/props-manager/ I've tried a handful of JS solutions but... they don't seem to run. Or they run into the same issues.

Ok... I just found this which apparently should work I'm trying it now.
HTML5 Canvas 100% Width Height of Viewport?
Ok at long last I've discovered the secret to using height percentages! I'm going to answer my own question (even though I think it's somewhat bad form but anyway).
With percentages of width everything works as expected. If a relative width is defined it is based off of the parent elements width, which unless explicitly assigned, is the size forced on it by the other content inside of it (say a picture that's 200px wide).
Now it doesn't work this way with height. I decided to go back to basics with this one and concentrated on background-color div's to isolate the factor. After a bit I decided a simple google search was in order, and very quickly discovered this forum question from '08 http://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=7543 and there you go.
In order to use percentage height the height of the parent element MUST be EXPLICITLY defined from the opening HTML tag all the way down to the element where it counts. With the exception of parent elements that have explicit px heights defined.
So for those of us wanting to make 'fullscreen' apps (ie those that are contained within the dimensions of the browser viewport) we need to include the following CSS code.
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
or in my case the div row elements directly under the body also need this applied so
html, body, body > div.row {
height: 100%;
}
and that will make all the difference.
Just remember that from this level down you will still need to include in-line style statements for each and every element that needs to be percentage scaled.
Assuming your HTML is something along the lines of:
<div class="sidebar">
<!-- sidebar content -->
</div>
<div class="main-content">
<!-- main content -->
</div>
You can achieve an independently scrolling sidebar with the following style declarations:
.main-content {
position: relative;
width: 75%;
}
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 25%;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
