Layout to adapt to browser resizing

Question

Looking at many sites today, in this case, exclusively those with Layouts Responsive, I noticed a detail that was not of my concern until then.

My doubt has been in qualifying whether a specification is indispensable in the demand for layout construction. I noticed that some websites adapt content responsibly according to device resolution, but some do not adapt to the resizing browser (at least not as expected).

This happens exclusively (at least as I’ve noticed so far) in Google Chrome, often forcing you to use the "Inspect Elemento"(More precisely Ctrl+Shift+M).

The fact that it does not adapt to resize in this way is a bad practice or is a sordid detail that the "market" ignores just as it usually ignores IE7?

Answer 1

I didn’t understand it very well. but when making one Responsive layout It is mostly used css, with media querys, and this way it is possible to see the changes in real-time by putting the smallest "window", this way it does not simulate a mobile phone, but a smaller screen.. This could be one of the problems you’re reporting. Another thing I see is the use of java script to detect if it is mobile or not, so when resizing the window changes are not visible...

To have a better simulation, apart from the most obvious part that is to test on a mobile device.. I suggest that you use the tool Chrome "device mode" https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/iterate/device-mode/

I hope I helped a little ;) Hug
