After spending a considerable amount of time browsing StackOverFlow for coding solutions, I have come across a problem that I can't seem to find an answer for. Yesterday, I made some changes to the media queries on my site in order to incorporate a drop-down navigation feature to declutter the layout. While the navigation worked perfectly on my S3 when loaded in portrait mode, rotating it to landscape caused all the page content to become invisible. Interestingly, the content was still present as I could select text and save images that were not displaying. Once rotated back to portrait mode, everything appeared normal.
The site follows a single-page design and employs jQuery for page navigation. The only code modification I made was to enhance the functionality of the drop-down menu:
// toggle nav
$("#menu-icon").on("click", function () {
$("#nav").slideToggle();
});
I also added code to hide the navigation when the menu icon is visible:
// When a nav link is clicked
$("a.tab").click(function () {
// Hide Nav menu if #menu-icon is visible
if ($("#menu-icon").is(":visible")) {
$("#nav").hide();
}...
In terms of CSS, I made adjustments to style the menu icon by initially hiding it and later displaying it within a media query:
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
/*Page Elements*/
#menu-icon
{
display: block;
color:#bababa;
font-size:1.5em;
float:left;
margin-left:2em;
background:url(Images/Menu.png) no-repeat 5px center;
background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
width:110px;
border: 1px solid #787878;
border-radius:.35em;
padding: .5em .5em .5em 2em;
}
If anyone has insight into why the content disappears in landscape mode or how to resolve the issue, I would greatly appreciate your help. Please note that the website functions properly on various devices except for this specific scenario. For reference, the site's URL is .
Thank you all in advance!
=======UPDATE========
Upon further investigation, I identified the root cause of the issue in my media queries. It appears that the behavior stems from a position:relative attribute on the header element which disrupts layout consistency when repositioned at the top of the page. To address this, I plan to create a targeted media query specifically for the Galaxy S3 in landscape mode, utilizing position:absolute along with additional styling rules for the content to prevent layout disruptions. I will provide another update once I have successfully resolved the issue.
=======UPDATE 2========
Good news! I have managed to resolve the problem by ensuring that my container div had overflow:auto set, allowing the content to wrap correctly after repositioning elements. Although I am still uncertain why the absence of overflow:auto interfered with the display due to the presence of position:relative on the header in Dolphin and Android Browser, the solution now works smoothly. Thank you for your support!
