CSS vs. JavaScript in Responsive Design

What are the main differences between using CSS and JavaScript for responsive design?

CSS is primarily used for styling and layout, while JavaScript can manipulate the DOM and handle dynamic changes. CSS media queries are great for responsive layouts, but JavaScript can enhance interactivity.

When should I use JavaScript instead of CSS for responsiveness?

Use JavaScript when you need to respond to user interactions or when the layout requires complex calculations that CSS can't handle alone.

Can you give examples of scenarios where CSS is preferred?

Sure! CSS is preferred for simple layout adjustments, like changing font sizes or rearranging elements based on screen size using media queries.

What about performance? Is one better than the other?

Generally, CSS is more performant for layout changes since it's handled by the browser's rendering engine. Overusing JavaScript for layout can lead to slower performance.
