YUI3 Responsive Grids

An example of making your YUI3 Grids behave responsively.

How does it work?

YUI3 Responsive Grids builds on top of the existing YUI3 Grids implementation. It adds a single new class name called .yui3-g-r. You can use this instead of using .yui3-g as you normally do. All elements with a class name of .yui3-u-*-* will automatically become responsive if they are direct descendents of a .yui3-g-r.

The HTML

The first gist shows how regular YUI3 grids are written. These grids are unresponsive. They'll always be one-thirds irrespective of the width of the screen. The second gist replaces the yui3-g with yui3-g-r, thereby making the one-third columns collapse to full width on lower screen widths.

Features.

  • Adds configurable media queries for different screen widths (Desktops, Landscape Tablets, Portrait Tablets, Phones)
  • Collapses elements to 100% if smaller than a certain width (767px by default)
  • Adjusts images to fit on smaller screens
  • Works with as many columns as you want (or as few)

Example.
