more things that take the control out of the user. and add lots of complexity for no good reason.
why on earth have javascript to do CSS's work?
and why do you care about screen size changes? the only good thing it does is hint you about device orientation. But who says when i change from portrait to landscape i want a whole new site? sometimes turning a device just mean i want to fit one image better in the screen. not change all my navigation elements to fit the designer dream of multi-screen shenanigans.
yeah, i sound like the old fart who don't like shinny things and change. but people impressed by this sound like the kids adding animated gif after animated gif to their geocities page. now get off my lawn!
- nodelessness 13y agoSome behaviour may need to be initialised depending on the width of the viewport. For example: I may want to provide a side swipe menu in my mobile version that I do not want to initialise and become available in the web version. Yes, you don't need a whole new site. But I as a developer may want to provide a better experience with the additional horizontal space I just received in the landscape mode. Or I may want to sneak in some ads on the side. Media queries go only so far but they cannot help you to create behaviour that depends on the width of the viewport.
