Now a responsive ad unit can resize the HTML container that it is within. That means you may need to modify either the ad code or your site to make sure AdSense can calculate the ad size correctly.
- The ad code should not be in a container with a fixed or limited height
- The ad code should to be a container with a width set (or the ad code must be modified).
- Third party scripts executed before the responsive ad code may require you to specify the ad size
Technical requirements to make the responsive ad units work correctly
The changes to the way responsive ad units work may require modifications to your site or ad code. There are full details in the AdSense help center.* Responsive ad units should not be placed in a parent container with fixed or limited height.
If you do place the ad unit with in a fixed-height <div> the ads may appear too tall.
If you have noticed your ads appear to be too tall, check the responsive ad code placed on your website to make sure it's not in a fixed-height container.
You can limit the height of responsive ads by modifying the ad code. This example shows how to limit the height of the ad unit to a fixed height of 90 pixels, with a variable width.
* Responsive ad units do need to be in a parent container with a width set
The ad code needs to know the width of the container to calculate the size of the ad unit. If your ad code is in a parent container without a set width, you will need to edit the ad code.
An example would be an ad placed within a floating element in your site's layout.
More details on how to edit the ad code.
* Third-party Javascript executed before the ad code can prevent the required size from being calculated correctly
If you have JavaScript that executes before the ad code script - for example, code to hide the ads until the page fully loads - you may need to modify the ad code to set the size of the parent container.

Help! This is confusing!
Unless you are comfortable with CSS and HTML, all of this may is probably overwhelming. The good news is that odds are you don't need to make any changes.
If you are using responsive ads on your site, and the layout looks OK, then you probably do not need to make any changes.
And if you have a Blogger blog, with one of Blogger's templates, and you placed your ads using an AdSense gadget, you shouldn't have to make any changes.

I noticed this when the "auto ads" code started putting ads in my blog that ended up warping the sizes of sidebars and screwing up the layout. I temporarily reverted to manually placed ads to solve it. I didn't think about manually resizing the ads in the auto-ad code. Good tip.
