==================
Hi, in my survey I have a series of short videos that I show to respondents. After each video respondents rate how much they liked the video on a scale of 1 to 7. Each video is set to a width of 420px and a height of 315, as such:

<video controls="" height="315" width="420"><source src=" www.mysite.org/audioandvideo/video files/abstractbw.mp4" />

This works fine on a laptop or tablet, but on my mobile phone the video is too wide for the screen.  In cases such as this I'd like the videos to resize so that they occupy 100% of the screen rather than being chopped off. I've done some internet searching and it seems I may be able use a "media query" and some CSS to accomplish what I want to do. Unfortunately because my knowledge of CSS is very poor I'm still unable to understand exactly what I need to do. If anyone one can offer some help it would be greatly appreciated.

Unsure,
Maybe you can add rthis directly in custom.css
Code:
video,img {
    max-width: 100% !important;
    height: auto !important;
}

And still use width/height

Hi, I added that to custom.css (fruity template) but it didn't seem to have an effect. However your previous solution works, and I am able to specify width and height:

<video controls="" height="315" style="max-width:100%;height:auto" width="420"><source src=" www.mysite.org/audioandvideo/video files/abstractbw.mp4" />
