responsive tables in css - javascript

I am trying to make the following jsfiddle code work. Actually all is working fine, for server side i am using ColdFusion.
the values are appearing 6 in a row. the 6 is hard-coded in ColdFusion variables, so it splits the values in 6 and then next row.
Now i want to make this a responsive so it should work with tablets and mobile devices without much pain in the a****s
Here is the fiddle i had generated

This needs a help in implementation of responsive design...
A Jquery, javascript solution will also work

You're going to be hard-pressed to find an objective solution to such a broad question. So, broadly: one of the many ways to implement responsive design is to write CSS media queries, targeting various screen sizes. Here's an example snippet taken from getskeleton.com (which might be worth checking out if you need a bare-bones responsive framework to get you started)
/* #Media Queries
================================================== */
/* Smaller than standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {}
/* Tablet Portrait size to standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {}
/* All Mobile Sizes (devices and browser) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {}
/* Mobile Landscape Size to Tablet Portrait (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {}
/* Mobile Portrait Size to Mobile Landscape Size (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {}
You'd just write new CSS (or override your css) for each of the screen sizes you're trying to target. (Nest your css within the brackets after each media screen). Hope that helps.

Is it possible to create Responsive Web page using only media queries?

I'm trying to create a Responsive Web page with the only use of media queries but I could not...
I already added the following breakpoints...
#media screen and (max-width: 991px) {}
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {}
#media screen and (max-width:525px) {}
I got an error in the size of 360px...
please anyone can help me to solve this problem I don't know what is the exact problem
Yes it is possible to make a responsive page using media queries, you should define your queries for the resolutions instead;
#media screen and (min-width: 1400px) {}
#media only screen and (min-width: 700px) {}
#media screen and (min-width:450px) {}
And try using a resizable screen to always check and also width:auto; for internal containers and overflow:scroll should help you do a nice work overall
yes, you can create a responsive web page using media queries. You can use min-width or max-width but the best approach is the mobile-first architecture. Please add your source code to figure out what went wrong.

Do you need to add constraints in html, js, and css for resizing to different screen sizes

I am pretty new to html, js, and css. I was wondering if just. like in IOS development where auto layout is needed for different screen sizes and/or orientations if this is the case for developing a website. I've looked around and seen things like margins and auto, but I'm not sure. Is there any specific links or videos one could suggest to understand this concept so that no matter how the screen size is the contents on board will adjust. Thank you.
use media queries like this :
#media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1025px) and (min-height: 1366px) and (max-height: 1367px) {
.header { width: 90%; }
}

Website turns to landscape with keyboard

I've ran into an interesting problem. On my website I have two versions of navigation bar for mobiles - landscape and portrait. To detect these two I use CSS media orientation.
#media (orientation: landscape)
{
/* inline menu */
}
#media (orientation: portrait)
{
/* multiple rows menu */
}
However, when I open my keyboard page turns into landscape, because the actual page size becomes smaller. Can someone help me how to fix this? All I can think about is focus event on inputs, so whenever they're focused the portrait manu is turned on, but it would change the menu even on landscape.
Here's an illustrative image
Thanks!
If you check Media Queries W3C Recommendation
You will find this interesting sentence:
The ‘orientation’ media feature is ‘portrait’ when the value of the
‘height’ media feature is greater than or equal to the value of the
‘width’ media feature. Otherwise ‘orientation’ is ‘landscape’.
So, when the keyboard is opened, your page turn into landscape mode.
There are multiple ways to overcome this problem, you can
check this answer.
You should ignore the height/orientation completely. Something like this:
#media (max-width: 480px)
{
/* inline menu */
}
#media (min-width: 481px)
{
/* multiple rows menu */
}

How to stop "tel:number" links from working on desktop / tablets

This must be very common.... I apologize, but can't find a working solution here...
I'm working on a site (retrofit) and it has responsive CSS such as:
/* Refecence from responsive.css
/* crank up to 5000px to support high res monitors and TV's */
#media only screen and (min-width: 1200px) and (max-width: 5000px)
/* Portrait tablet to landscape and desktop - BROWSER SIZE 2 */
#media only screen and (min-width: 991px) and (max-width: 1200px)
/* Landscape phone to portrait tablet - BROWSER SIZE 3 */
#media only screen and (min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 991px)
/* All Mobile Sizes (devices and browser) - BROWSER SIZE 4 */
#media only screen and (max-width: 767px)
/* Landscape phones and down - BROWSER SIZE 5 */
#media (max-width: 480px)
/* iphone portrait mode - BROWSER SIZE 6 */
#media (max-width: 320px)
I'm new to this, and done quite a bit of research, but I have a couple of questions:
I have the plan to have two blocks of HTML, one hidden, and use JS or CSS to hide the appropriate block based on user being on mobile device or not.
I wish to avoid useragent, as there are way too many. By default, Android no longer parses numbers as such (as per other posts) without the 'tel:'. I tested on Nexus 5. On the other hand Firefox asks for device to use on a 'tel: 'link.
Can I use my current #media CSS blocks? If so what about retina?
OR can useragent based JS be ok somehow?
Other options, I mean what do most people do???
Help is appreciated.
After more research I settled on a Javascript library isMobile.
https://github.com/kaimallea/isMobile
It seems that many use it, so I assume it would work.
My worry is that if a new device comes up, i have to continually update this library...

I want my font sizes to change responsively. Is javascript the best way?

If I hava all my font sizes in ems, and then use javascript to change the css rule determining font-size of the body (which will be in px) surely this will result in text that grows with a widening, percentage-based grid?
Apparently, changing css rules is tricky and doesn't support legacy versions of some browsers (guess which one), but if I embed my body rules right on the page, will that make things cross compliant?
you can use the font-size in em like font-size:1em or in % like font-size:5%
try to put the css in
#media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 800px)
{ css }
according to device width like ipad and for the iphone you can change that
#media screen and (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 480px)
{ here is css }
so that you able to see your design perfectly st these resolution
