[sword-devel] SWORDWeb

[Tobias Klein]

Hi Troy,

Many web apps optimize for different screen sizes and have several 
configurations in the CSS. Something you would consider "responsive web 
design".

Based on filters like this in the CSS (example from Ezra Bible App):

Phone

@mediascreenand (max-width: 450px), (max-height: 450px) {


Tablet / Large phone

@mediascreenand (max-width: 600px) {


And then aside from this the standard CSS remains the one for desktop / 
large screen.

Best regards,
Tobias
