create two column responsive css html design that merges into 1 column when shrunk or viewed on mobile device

2 Views

So i’m not very web savvy, Im creating a FAQ page on my WordPress site, and I want to make a responsive two column layout with a list of questions that when the user clicks on one of these anchors, it takes them down to that answer on the page, like most FAQs. I want the list of these links to be in a two column layout, while everything else on the site is just 1 column layout, and I want it to be pretty smooth and good looking. I want the two column layout to eventually merge into one column when the screen shrinks/is used by a tablet or iPhone. Here is my code, I feel like I’m close but it’s looking bad when I implement it in WordPress. Any suggestions?

  float:left;

@media(max-width:400px) {
  .linkleft {
    width:100px;
    float:none;
    display:block;
    position:relative;
  }

  1. You can use mobile first approach to achieve responsive layout. You should expand the CSS by yourself to fit your WordPress theme.

    CSS

    .linkcontainer {
    width: 100%;
    padding-bottom: 25px;
    overflow: auto;
}
.linkleft, .linkright {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 481px) {
    .linkleft, .linkright {
        display: inline-block;
        width: 50%;
        float: left;
    }
}

    Here is the fiddle.

  2. Add a CSS mobile media query and set the width of .linkright and .linkleft to 100%(instead of 100px which is what you have now).

    /* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen and (max-device-width : 400px) {
   .linkleft {
     width:100%;
     float:none;
   }
   .linkright {
     width:100%;
     float:none;
   }
}
