How To Use jQuery To Create A Responsive Website

Last updated a year ago

With the same underlying codebase, responsive web design (RWD) is a design and technology strategy that seeks to adjust a site's or app's layout and interaction to function best across a variety of device resolutions, screen densities, and interaction modes. The framework includes a variety of responsive widgets, including panels, reflow tables, and tables with column selectors.

RWD includes three essential components:

  • CSS media queries are used to target styles to particular device attributes like the resolution or screen width breakpoint.
  • A fluid grid that defines components and widgets in adaptable units to cause them to flow into their containers.
  • Additionally sized in relative units, flexible pictures and media resize to fit within their containers.

The media queries may concentrate primarily on regulating layout rules for containers because all screen elements are fluid and flexible; the modules within simply resize to match their containers.

Two stacked containers with adjustable content or widgets inside each one could serve as a straightforward responsive example. To best utilize the broader screen at larger widths, media queries are utilized to float both containers to create a two-column layout.

The media queries can concentrate exclusively on the rules for making the columns stack or float, and to override or add styles only needed at bigger widths because the content inside each container is meant to re-flow to suit its parent.

 

Here is a list of RWD recommendations to remember:

 

  • After the stylesheet for the jQuery Mobile framework, create a style override stylesheet and include it. This will house all of the unique styles, widget customizations, and media queries.

 

  • Breakpoints should be chosen depending on the content, not a particular device. It is wiser to select breakpoints depending on how the content appears in the design system because there are devices available in every conceivable width. 

 

  • Find the point where the content could change to benefit from a bigger width as you resize the window to wider sizes.

 

  • Write the widths of media queries in ems rather than pixels. By doing this, you can be sure that the layout will adjust to different screen widths and font sizes. Divide the target breakpoint in pixels (320px) by the standard font size of 16px to obtain the width in ems (20em).

 

  • Use a max-width breakpoint in its place to only override framework styles on smaller displays. This enables you to limit the style overrides so that they only take effect below a specific screen width. This is advantageous for some kinds of overrides because, above this width, all standard styles will be applied.

 

Conclusion

Web design and development are undoubtedly entering a new era. There are currently and will continue to be far too many alternatives to adjust and develop unique solutions for every screen size, device, and technological development. Instead, let's usher in a new age now by building websites that are prepared for the future. It doesn't take much learning to create a design user-responsive, and it can be considerably less stressful and more useful than learning how to design and code correctly for every single device out there.
