> There are many ways to approach this problem, so it would be best to explain what you are trying to achieve. Inside of a Django function or template we need to know if to display a landscape or portrait of a form - based on knowing if the viewer is using a mobile or not.

If only https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/ had some practical examples in Python or Django, it could be useful.

What methods are available to determining display type & screen dimensions for dynamic formatting of Django templates.
Increasingly we are finding the need to have reactive Django templates, in order to present cross platform Django forms and pages to not only desktop users buy also tablet, and mobile phone users. We realize Bootstrap offers breakpoints as a means to control columns, still we are looking for more direct ways of getting essential display information including width, height, device type, and OS for taking control of our own breakpoints where further customization is needed. Is there a best practice, mature or fully cross platform method recognized by Django users for gathering essential display information as required for reactive Django templates? And if not what are the most promising techniques other than Bootstrap for Django developers in use for building reactive templates? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Thanks for your answers. Rephrasing question in another thread.

Re: How do detect if template is being viewed on mobile device?
> This problem has nothing to with Python and Django, it's merely a HTML+CSS issue. While I realize the roots of this issue are in HTML+CSS for me and likely many others it is a Django template issue. I've experimented with Bootstrap, Javascript, HTML and CSS 'solutions' yet find many of these solutions lacking in the areas of cross platform compatibility, and portability. I'll rephrase my question on another thread hoping it will draw some comparative discussion in the area of what methods others are using for determining screen dimensions as it relates to formatting of of Django templates.
