Unattractive mobile modal

Hey there,

This is how my .modal CSS code appears:

.modal
{
    position: fixed;
    top: 10%;
    left: 50%;
    z-index: 1050;
    width: 560px;
    margin-left: -280px;
    background-color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #999;
    border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
    *border: 1px solid #999;
    -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
    -moz-border-radius: 6px;
     border-radius: 6px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
    box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
    -webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
    -moz-background-clip: padding-box;
    background-clip: padding-box;
    outline: 0;
}

However, when viewed on a mobile device, it looks like this

I am searching for a solution to make the modal resize accordingly.

Answer №1

I have devised two strategies to achieve this goal:

1) Utilize media queries

See live demonstration

.modal {
/* original code */
}
@media (max-width:622px) {
    .modal {
        left:5%;
        margin-left:0px;
        width:90%;
    }
}

The value of 622px is the result of dividing 560px/0.9;

2) Implement percentage and use max- CSS attributes

See live demonstration

<div class="modal-wrapper"><div class="modal">Some text</div></div>

.modal-wrapper {
    position:fixed;
    top:10%;
    left:50%;
    width:560px;
    max-width:90%;
    overflow:visible;
    z-index:1050;
}
.modal {
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    margin-left:-50%;
    /* background colors and other styling */
}

Method 1 minimizes changes to your existing code, but if you decide to alter the 560px limit, you will need to adjust the media query's max-width value;

Method 2 involves more modifications to your code, but changing the 560px limit should be a quicker process (even possible with JS).
