Resizing pop up windows

[William Even]

Hi Rolf,

I’m not sure if this is question is in your realm or not. I got the pop-up window to work (many thanks for your help), however I am having a difficult time getting the pop-up to resize across platforms.

Click on “Susan Schuman” at the bottom. On a large screen it looks great, but as I shrink the window, the pop-up gets cut off on the right as opposed to scaling.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again for your prompt help!

Hi Bill,

Yes, I see what you mean. The lightbox was not created with screens that resize in mind (before the mobile era) but it does adapt to smaller screen sizes fairly well: after resizing your browser window, close the lightbox then click the link again to open it for a second time. You’ll see it’s now fitting inside the smaller window.

In most cases, visitors will not resize their browser window while browsing very often. Or at least won’t be very surprised if not everything scales along perfectly. Only on mobile devices where a reader opens the lightbox in portrait position and decides it would be easier to read in landscape, he would tilt the device to landscape position and find that the lightbox does not get wider than before…
