Is there a limit on the number of breakpoints an RLM page can have?

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

There is a limit of 10 (11 if you count the upper most screen size) breakpoints. However, as Steven pointed out there should not be a need for that many.

I'm doing a site right now and was setting breakpoints for every little thing that I wanted to change. I know -- it's not supposed to work like that. After all, the name is BREAKpoints, not CHANGEWHATYOUWANTpoints. However, you have to admit, it's fun to see just how far you can push software just to see what it will do.

My goal is to always use a few as possible.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

That inflates your code and causes loading issues, as your CSS file would go from a few thousand lines to a few hundred thousand lines. This is why we have limited the amount of breakpoints allowed, most layouts use around 3-4 breakpoints. Some can use up to 8 but 10 is just way to many. That is the point where you need to rethink the design or rethink the responsive actions you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks Adam. It's not hard to reduce breakpoints. I had it down to 5 in about 10 minutes. I normally have 3.

Yes, I normally have 4 as I like to switch my layout around more often. :P
