Buttons do not scale properly to different screen sizes

Recommended Posts

When adding buttons to a page (section), they do not stay positioned in the page. When I add them to the page using a 16" display, they look correct. However if I change the size of the browser window to be smaller, the button will move into the middle of the text directly above it. The text on the page scales correctly, however the button which is within a section (has text) move all over the place. Buttons which I have in a separate section below the section above, do scale correctly.

My guess is that you have the button block and text block overlapping, so when the text breaks to more lines on narrower screens the text stretches below and independently of the button position. If you share your website I won't have to guess, and I can help more, thanks!

i have the same problem. when i resize the browser, the button doesn't resize and it all gets compressed.

You are using the button block set to fill, that means that it takes up the allotted number of columns in the desktop view. those 24 columns span from the maximum content width to the just before the mobile switch, so the columns have to vary in their width and hence the button varies as well. You can try setting the button to fit and then make the block much wider and the button will maintain it's proportions based on the padding.

Yes, if you set the button to left aligned and then make the block (bounded in blue) wider (as wide as possible) so that on smaller screens it doesn't get squashed.
