The Basics and the Meta Tag
The Basics
- Contrast's with "Fixed" style layouts
- The Core Idea is fluidity and adaptability
- Ensures functionality and appearance across different screen sizes
- Optimizes website for various devices by utilizing,
- Fluid Grids
- Flexible Images
- Media Queries
Viewport and Initial Scale
- The viewport is the "visible area" on a display device
- Initial scale refers to the initial "zoom" level when the page is loaded
- Both are essential for implementing RWD effectively
The Meta Tag
- HTML's viewport Meta tag controls viewport width and scaling
- this is a second meta tag that is placed inside the HTML Head section
- The Meta tag is essential for mobile display
- "initial-scale" sets the "initial" zoom improving the user experience
- The meta tag greatly affects mobile appearance and performance, vital for RWD
< meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
-
< meta>
: provides meta data about the html document
-
< name>
="viewport": identifies the meta tag for viewport control
- content: holds the viewport settings
- width=device-width: sets the viewport width to the device width
- initial-scale=1.0: Sets the initial zoom to 1.0 (the default size)
