desired website layout on a cellphone

Unfortunately, this is how it looks on my Samsung Galaxy S5:

how the website currently looks on a cellphone

I believe the issue is with my CSS. I'm following a tutorial, and even though my code matches the instructor's, my website isn't rendering the same way. Could different versions of Visual Studio Code affect this?

Here's my code:

Solution

  • In this case, the solution is:

    • in CSS add canvas { max-width: 100% } inside /* charts starts here */
    • in the lineChart JS change typo responsise: true to responsive: true

    That's it... Tested to work down to size 320x480 in Windows Firefox Responsive Design Mode.
