Question

I’m trying to create responsive design webpage. it works well with my table and text (when I resize my browser, it resize automatically. but this does not happen to my picture.

CSS file:

@media screen and (max-width: 999px) {
 .page {
    width: 720px;
 }
 .header {
    width:720px;
 }
 img{
    width: 720px;
 }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 719px) {
 .page {
    width: 100%;
 }
 .header {
    width:100%;
 }
 img {
    width: 100%;
 }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 479px) {
 .page {
    width: 98%;
 }
 .header{
    width: 98%;
 }
}

.page {
  width: 960px;
  background-color: #fff;
  margin: 20px auto 0 auto; 
  border: 1px solid #496077;
}

img {
  float: left;
  width: 48%;
  margin: 0 1%;
}

My .aspx file:

<asp:Content ID="HeaderContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent">

My text is responsive but my pictures are not, see the example at jsfiddle:

Answer 1

If you already have media-query stuff in place (and if you want full control over your image sizes) I would use those pixel widths you provided for images, If you are really doing more like a fluid-grid than column-based and you would like to scale your img all the time when resizing, I would try to use:

img{
    max-width: 100%;    
    _width: 100%;
}

As a side note: when you are dealing with responsive design page you should consider swapping larger images to smaller (or hiding them) when moving from desktop towards a mobile – this is because network latency, scaling big images to fit smaller devices screens takes more loading time to your page than using alternative e.g. mobile layout images instead.

Edit:

You are specifying img styles outside of your media queries, so you are always overriding your previous if they are even set in place – you should always specify default styles at start of the css file then followed by media-query rules (because they are screen-width specific), also it seems that your media-query widths are very ad-hoc I would use following base for a starters: (mobile first approach).

/* MOBILE PORTRAIT */
@media only screen and (min-width: 320px) {
/* your styles */
}

/* MOBILE LANDSCAPE */
@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) {
/* your styles */
}

/* SMALL TABLET */
@media only screen and (min-width: 600px) {
/* your styles */
}

/* TABLET/NETBOOK */
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) { 
/* your styles */
}

/* LANDSCAPE TABLET/NETBOOK/LAPTOP */
@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) { 
/* your styles */
}

/* DESKTOP */
@media only screen and (min-width: 1280px) { 
/* your styles */
}

/* WIDESCREEN */
/* Increased body size for legibility */
@media only screen and (min-width: 1400px) { 
 /* your styles */
}

If you had problems with your current file consider also fixing your html headers and providing more accurate info next time :).. designing responsive grid is not easy and there are multiple resources in network to get started when trying to do so. For example: http://fluidbaselinegrid.com/ and http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ inspect their code through and learn.. what comes to me, I’m not trying to invent wheel again, I just select ready made responsive design grids/frameworks as a base based on project I am currently working with. Good luck, and sorry for the overkill answer!
