perils of a responsive fixed-width website

[kahnn]

Hi,

I'm a novice Muser.

I'm trying to create a portfolio website for myself that has scroll-effects.

I have watched hours of webcasts and done a ton of research.

I'd be glad if you guys can share some wisdom on:

1. While I had set the page width (fixed) to be 1200px, it shows 1400px. Why is the breakpoint width set +200px by default?

2. During creating smaller fixed breakpoints (say 768px) it gives me error and upon checking site properties the min. page width conflicts (it was set to 320px).

3. The objects (image-filled rectangles/frames/text boxes) show "resize" options that do no resizing whatsoever when enabled.

Thank you.

Hello kahnn,

Please see this discussion thread - Fixed Breakpoints Cannot Have Own Page Widths?  which would clarify your doubts on breakpoints and page width sizes.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Ankush

Things are still a bit hazy.
