Definition

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is an approach to web design

in which a site is crafted to provide an optimal viewing

experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of

resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices

(from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).

In short: the site should be usable on all devices and should feel

optimized for all devices.

How to RWD?

Media queries!

Media queries allow the page to use different CSS styles based

on device capabilities.

For RWD, we will look at browser width.

Media queries code structure

@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {

…

}

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) {

…

}

@media screen and (min-width: 980px) {

…

}

RWD and Images

1. Use background images when possible.

2. How to create flexible or fluid images

3. Lazy load images for better page performance

Background Image Example: logo

<div class="df-logo">

<a href="#">AppExchange</a>

</div>

.df-logo a {

display: block;

text-indent: -9999px;

width: 223px;

height: 47px;

background: url(appex-logo.png) no-repeat 0 0;

}

/* S: Phone */

@media (max-width: 767px) {

.df-logo a { display: none; }

.df-logo {

width: 100px;

height: 21px;

margin-left: -50px;

position: absolute;

top: 5px;

left: 50%;

background: url(appex-logo-small.png) no-repeat 0 0;

}

}

How to Create Flexible or Fluid Images

<div class="df-tile">

<div class="tile-content">

<div class="tile-img tile-img-brand">

<img src="tile-01-280.png" />

</div>

</div>

</div>

.df-tile {

width: 240px;

height: 200px;

}

.df-tile .tile-img-brand {

padding: 10px;

}

.df-tile img {

border: 1px solid #999;

max-width: 100%;

width: auto; /* IE */

height: auto; /* IE */

}

Lazy Load Images for Better Page Performance


<img src="p.gif" data-src="tile-01-280.png" class="desktop-img" />

</div>


<span id="phone-test"></span>

<span id="small-test"></span>

<span id="large-test"></span>

#phone-test, #small-test, #large-test {

width: 1px;

height: 1px;

display: none;

}

/* S: Phone */

@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {

#phone-test { display: block; }

}

/* M: Portrait tablet */

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) {

#small-test { display: block; }

}

/* XL: Desktop */

@media screen and (min-width: 1220px) {

#large-test { display: block; }

}


getCurrentSiteState = function() {

var state = 'medium';

if (jQuery('#phone-test').css('display') === 'block') { state = 'phone'; }

else if (jQuery('#small-test').css('display') === 'block') { state = 'small'; }

else if (jQuery('#large-test').css('display') === 'block') { state = 'large'; }

return state;

};



<img src="p.gif" data-src="tile-01-280.png" class="desktop-img" />

</div>

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

loadDesktopImages();

});

loadDesktopImages = function() {

if (getCurrentSiteState() !== 'phone') {

jQuery('img.desktop-img').each(function() {

jQuery(this).attr('src’, jQuery(this).attr('data-src'));

});

}

};
