Think I'm missing the obvious here, but I have a Bookstrap 3 navbar that works great in desktop view but as I squeeze the width and it gets to tablet size rather than collapsing into the toggle menu it's jumping the menu onto two lines:

I've tried reducing the text size in the navbar via a media query but that isn't solving it.
What am I missing?
Appreciate it. Thank you.

One solution might be to change the point at which the navbar collapses, you can do this by creating a customized Bootstrap and setting the #grid-float-breakpoint to a larger number.
This variable unfortunately also influences the dt and dd inside a .dl-horizontal which might be a problem.
If you want to use a media query to reduce the font-size you can use the .navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a selector. It however needs to become 9px at the smallest viewport size to still stay on a single row which is quite unreadable.
From the Bootstrap documentation:
Overflowing content
Since Bootstrap doesn't know how much space the content in your navbar needs, you might run into issues with content wrapping into a second row. To resolve this, you can:
Reduce the amount or width of navbar items.
Hide certain navbar items at certain screen sizes using responsive utility classes.
Change the point at which your navbar switches between collapsed and horizontal mode. Customize the #grid-float-breakpoint variable or add your own media query.
It goes on to say:
Changing the collapsed mobile navbar breakpoint
The navbar collapses into its vertical mobile view when the viewport is narrower than #grid-float-breakpoint, and expands into its horizontal non-mobile view when the viewport is at least #grid-float-breakpoint in width. Adjust this variable in the Less source to control when the navbar collapses/expands. The default value is 768px (the smallest "small" or "tablet" screen).

If you try to resize your browser you see this:
Today I found the same problem on my website.
How to easily fix this behavior?
This menu has not enough space in one row. The right side part just does not fit in the same line. You can:
reduce the number of menu items
(for example, hide one of them by adding the hidden-sm class)
make names of items shorter
hide a word from the name:
<li>Something else<span class="hidden-sm"> here</span></li>
reduce the distance between menu items
reduce the width of the logo for this screen width
expand the container or use container-fluid instead
I have a yfiles.canvas.Control, with some nodes inside. However, the number of nodes is getting bigger, and I need to add a scrollbar in order to vertically navigate through them, despite the reduced size in height.
How can I do this? I see that a ScrollBar class exists, but I don't know how to integrate it.
yFiles for HTML comes with scrollbars built in. You can customize their visibility, but by default they will be shown as soon as the content rectangle is larger than the visible area. Maybe calling updateContentRect is all that is missing in your code?
Is it possible to add a vertical scrollbar to an OnDemandGrid?
Yes, I realize that an OnDemandGrid lets you scroll through a million records, and it will be awkward to imagine a scrollbar that lets you scroll all the way up and down through those million records, but I'd say it'll be good if there was a way to add a scrollbar at least to scroll through a reasonable subset around the visible viewport.
Never mind my question - I realized that it was actually showing the vertical scrollbar by default all this while, but it was hidden off the right of the page due to a large width on the div containing the dgrid.
The WP responsive theme I'm working on:
http://www.wpexplorer.me/tetris/
I use Firebug for Firefox browser addon thingy to make changes before messing with the actual files. So if you have it or something similar, you will see that by adding position:fixed; to the #header section the header width shrinks well more than half its original size and the navigation menu is jacked up within the new shrunken space.
I have added other snippets of coding to the #header section like width:100%;, width:959px; and other percentages and pixels, which messes up the layout; especially when you resize the window down to what you would consider to be for a tablet and a mobile device - it's all out of whack. I can't get the sticky header for this theme to function or do right. Oh, I've also added z-index:200; to the #header section and margin:160px 0; to #main-content; these don't give me issues.
Adding the width: ; code to the #main-content doesn't seem to help either (which I read somewhere online that this was where the width code goes).
Anyway, does anyone know what code I need to make the header of this theme scroll up until it gets to the top of the page where it becomes sticky/static/fixed/on top (whatever the real term for it is) at all times? And, can you get it to work with the layout being in tact when the window is resized all the way down to the size of a mobile device?
Thanks.
This should work
#header-wrap{position:fixed;top:0;z-index:999;}
#pre-header{margin:20px 0 15px;width:960px;}
#main-content{margin:215px 0 30px;}
The position is fixed at the top using 0 with a z-index:999 you then need to set the width of the inner container pre-header 960px to match the rest.
You will need to setup the media queries for the other sizes you have setup. Easy, and Enjoy.
If you want the menu itself and not the social icons to become the top fixed bar without the social icons then you want to make a jquery scroll CSS change so that the #header becomes the fixed position.
It working with fixed header and social:
An illustration of it working without the social bar using a Jquery Scroll CSS change:
This is the way I would do it, I would move the menu down, and add the social icons to the menu itself. (Below is a screenshot of what I mean, the social icons are reduced to 75%)
PS. The social icons stand out to much so I would add a CSS3 Greyscale, and when the visitor hovers over them it turns on the color with a transition effect.
Hope this helps ;)
I'm working on a Firefox extension, and am having problems getting relative constraints on the width of elements in the sidebar. For example, I want a description element in the sidebar that will always be as big as the sidebar when the sidebar is resized, and has text wrapping accordingly.
If I put a description in a box with a fixed maximum width, it will wrap correctly, but I can't get relative widths to work correctly using css. If is set the max-width to be 100% in css, it seems to just ignore it and the text will be on a single line and will overflow the sidebar. Any suggestions on how to put relative width constraints on a box in XUL so that text will wrap correctly?
It sounds like setting maximum width isn't what you really want. Have a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_Tutorial/The_Box_Model, setting flex attribute would be the right approach to make an element fill all the available space (typically flex="1"). The corresponding CSS property would be -moz-box-flex: 1.
