**Header:** Fixed at top - **Form fields:** Scroll vertically - **Action buttons:** Fixed at bottom - **Max height:** 100vh - header - footer ### Day Popup - **Event list scrolls** if many events - **Add button** always visible at bottom ## Touch Optimization ### Mobile-Specific Enhancements **Tap Targets:** - Minimum 44x44px (Apple guideline) - Buttons have adequate spacing - Calendar cells easy to tap **Gestures:** - Tap calendar cell → Day popup - Tap event → Edit - Swipe scroll → Event list - Tap outside → Close dialogs **Typography:** - Readable at arm's length - Minimum 10px font on mobile - Good contrast ratios ## Testing on Different Screens ### Desktop (1920x1080) ```bash # Should see: ✓ Full calendar grid (7 days x 5-6 weeks) ✓ Event panel on right (300-400px) ✓ All content visible without scroll ✓ Dialog centered, 450px wide ``` ### Laptop (1366x768) ```bash # Should see: ✓ Full calendar grid ✓ Event panel (300px) ✓ Slight vertical scroll if many events ✓ Dialog fits comfortably ``` ### Tablet (768x1024) ```bash # Should see: ✓ Calendar stacked on top ✓ Event list below (max 400px) ✓ Both fully visible ✓ Dialog 90% width ``` ### Phone (375x667) ```bash # Should see: ✓ Compact calendar on top ✓ Short event list below ✓ Everything readable ✓ Dialog full screen ✓ Save button always visible ``` ## Common Issues & Solutions ### Issue: Calendar cut off on laptop **Solution:** Container now has `max-height: 90vh` - fits any screen ### Issue: Can't see Save button on mobile **Solution:** Form scrolls, buttons fixed at bottom ### Issue: Event list too tall on tablet **Solution:** Max height 400px with scroll ### Issue: Dialog too wide on phone **Solution:** Full width on screens < 480px ### Issue: Text too small on mobile **Solution:** Font size reduces gracefully to 11px minimum ## CSS Media Queries Used ```css /* Large tablets and up */ @media (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 1024px) /* Tablets and down */ @media (max-width: 768px) /* Small phones */ @media (max-width: 600px) /* Tiny phones */ @media (max-width: 480px) /* Short screens (landscape phones) */ @media (max-height: 600px) @media (max-height: 500px) ``` ## Browser Compatibility ### Desktop Browsers -
