I have written the below media query to target screen resolutions 2560px and higher
#media screen and (min-width: 2560px) {
.singleVideoPlayerScreen .customVideoControls--box--Left {
width: 14%;
}
}
And this is my screen resolution:
But when I check in my Macbook then the media query rule is not getting applied and if I change the code as follows:
#media screen and (min-width: 1920px) and (max-width: 2560px) {
.singleVideoPlayerScreen .customVideoControls--box--Left {
width: 14%;
}
}
then the CSS is getting applied to the screen with 1920px resolution but still not in the 2560px resolution.
Please advice
BTW I have already checked these answers and it didn't help:

I've been tasked with developing a wordpress site for my company with almost 0 web development experience. I've been fiddling with CSS a bit and I've come up with this steaming pile of trash.
Anyways, I only need to develop it for 3 resolutions (Company standards). However, auto-scaling websites are complete magic to me. So I've decided to hardcode elements for each of 3 specific resolutions (1920x1080, 1440x900, 1024x768).
Here's the code:
768 Users
#media (min-width : 768px)
{
.sidebar
{
right: 115px;
bottom: 40px;
}
}
900 Users
#media only screen and (min-width : 900px) and (max-width: 900px)
{
.sidebar
{
right: 155px;
bottom: 65px;
}
}
1080 Users
#media only screen and (min-width : 1080px)
{
.sidebar
{
right: 155px;
bottom: 65px;
}
}

Question:
The issue is, the hardcoded scaling I've done only works for
the /768 Users/ and the /1080 Users/.
Every change I make in the /900 Users/ section does nothing, how do I fix that?
In your code, (min-width : 900px) and (max-width: 900px) will only target a width of exactly 900px, which is not desirable.
One technique is to use a "mobile-first implementation" in which you start with the smallest size first and work your way up. Think of it as styling for the smallest viewports first and then adding to those styles for increasingly larger viewports.
For example:
/* start with smallest "mobile viewport" styles here, as a default */
#media (min-width : 768px) {
/* add styles for 768px and up */
}
#media (min-width : 900px) {
/* add styles for 900px and up */
}
#media (min-width : 1080px) {
/* add styles for 1080px and up */
}

#media only screen and (min-width : 900px) and (max-width: 900px) meaning from 900px to 900px.... so nowhere at all.
If I understand your problem correctly, this should work:
#media only screen and (min-width : 900px) and (max-width: 1080px)
Your going to use CSS3 media queries to essentially define each viewport you are supporting; and from within write your styles per. There a few ways to call this - but I've found the below the simplest to test starting out... You will also have to make sure your meta viewport tag from within the HTML doc is properly defined.
#media (max-width:900px) and (min-width:400px) {
.foo {
display:none;
}
}
I have 4 media queries in this order in my CSS:
#media screen and (max-width: 599px)
#media screen and (min-width:600px) and (max-width: 895px)
#media screen and (min-width: 896px) and (max-width: 1019px)
#media screen and (min-width: 1020px)
They work mostly, except for when I try to change flex-direction. I have this class above the media queries:
.home-mod4-founders {
display:flex;
align-items:stretch;
}
And this under the smallest media query:
#media screen and (max-width: 599px) {
.home-mod4-founders {
flex-direction:column;
}
}
For some reason, when the screen is under 599px, it takes on the value of one of the other 3 queries:
.home-mod4-founders {
flex-direction:row;
}
When I checked the page with Chrome's dev tools, it seemed to strip out the media query part of the largest one so that it overrides the 599px media query:

The live site is here: www.whisperlodge.nyc
And I copy-pasted the CSS and HTML into a codepen http://codepen.io/chillinkwa/pen/MJZVEj
I managed to solve the issue by deleting the class from that largest media query. As the same specifications exist in the one below that, they somehow still seem to apply at a large browser width.
I have a media query for a website which depends on the width of the viewing window:
#media (max-width: 600px) {
...
}
This works perfectly.
I found that there was an issue with the site menu being cut off on certain devices because the height of the viewing window was not taken into account in the above statement, so I adjusted the statement accordingly (the menu is usually vertical but with the small screen or small height the menu should be changed to being horizontal) :
#media (max-width: 600px), (max-height: 400px){
...
}
However this does not work, the max-width value works but if I resize my window (Firefox and Chrome) to a letterbox size (<400px) then it doesn't run the corresponding height rules contained in the media query.
I have also played with variations such as :
#media all and (max-width: 600px), all and (max-height: 400px){
...
}
But with no success.
I have read various articles about CSS height but I can't see why my rules above are not applying? Any answers?
Tried
#media (max-width: 600px) and (max-height: 400px) {
body {
background:#000;
}
}
and worked fine!
UPDATE: the OR worked too http://jsfiddle.net/noj3u3xn/
#media (max-width: 600px), (max-height: 300px) {
body {
background:#000;
}
}
Maybe you can share more of your css?
The issue appears to be solved when applying the opposite query to all other media query cases:
such as all OTHER media queries need to have a and (min-height: 401px) appended to each of their cases, so they do not overwrite the case above.
cheers
#media only screen and (min-width : 1824px) {}
#media only screen and (min-width : 1224px) {}
I am using these mediaqueries and these are working fine but when I see my website at 1280px resolution, it does not work
Try like this:
#media screen and (min-width: 1024px) and and (max-width:1280px)
{
.....
}
#HMS Designz, If you want to access media query 1280 to 1024 resolution. You can try like this.
#media screen and (min-width:1024px) and (max-width:1280px) {}
#media all and (min-width: 1280px) {
/* css for width greater than 1280px */
}
#media all and (max-width: 1280px) and (min-width: 1024px) {
/* css for width between 1280px and 1024px */
}
#media all and (max-width: 1023px) {
/* css for width less than 1024px */
}
Here is detailed explainition of media queries.
include this in <head></head> (if you have not)
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no" /> <-- user-scalable=yes if you want user to allow zoom -->
change you #media style as this // change width as per your requirements
#media only screen (max-width: 500px) {
// or as per your needs, as I try to explain below
}
Now I try to explain maybe..:)
#media (max-width:500px)
for a window with a max-width of 500px that you want to apply these styles. At that size you would be talking about anything smaller than a desktop screen in most cases.
#media screen and (max-width:500px)
for a device with a screen and a window with max-width of 500px apply the style. This is almost identical to the above except you are specifying screen as opposed to the other media types the most common other one being print.
#media only screen and (max-width:500px)
Here is a quote straight from W3C to explain this one.
The keyword ‘only’ can also be used to hide style sheets from older user agents. User agents must process media queries starting with ‘only’ as if the ‘only’ keyword was not present.
As there is no such media type as "only", the style sheet should be ignored by older browsers.
If
That's what media queries are: logical if statements. "If" these things are true about the browser, use the CSS inside.
And
The keyword and.
#media (min-width: 600px) and (max-width: 800px) {
html { background: red; }
}
Or
Comma separate.
#media (max-width: 600px), (min-width: 800px) {
html { background: red; }
}
Technically these are treated like to separate media queries, but that is effectively and or.
Not
Reverse the logic with the keyword not.
#media not all and (max-width: 600px) {
html { background: red; }
}
Just doing not (max-width: 600px) doesn't seem to work for me, hence the slightly funky syntax above. Perhaps someone can explain that to me. Note that not only works for the current media query, so if you comma separate, it only affects the media query it is within. Also note that not reverses the logic for the entire media query as a whole, not individual parts of it. not x and y = not (x and y) ≠ (not x) and y
Exclusive
To ensure that only one media query is in effect at time, make the numbers (or whatever) such that that is possible. It may be easier to mentally manage them this way.
#media (max-width: 400px) {
html { background: red; }
}
#media (min-width: 401px) and (max-width: 800px) {
html { background: green; }
}
#media (min-width: 801px) {
html { background: blue; }
}
Logically this is a bit like a switch statement, only without a simple way to do "if none of these match do this" like default.
Overriding
There is nothing preventing more than one media query from being true at the same time. It may be more efficient to use this in some cases rather than making them all exclusive.
#media (min-width: 400px) {
html { background: red; }
}
#media (min-width: 600px) {
html { background: green; }
}
#media (min-width: 800px) {
html { background: blue; }
}
Media queries add no specificity to the selectors they contain, but source order still matters. The above will work because they are ordered correctly. Swap that order and at browser window widths above 800px the background would be red, perhaps inquisitively.
Mobile First
Your small screen styles are in your regular screen CSS and then as the screen gets larger you override what you need to. So, min-width media queries in general.
html { background: red; }
#media (min-width: 600px) {
html { background: green; }
}
Desktop First
Your large screen styles are in your regular screen CSS and then as the screen gets smaller you override what you need to. So, max-width media queries in general.
html { background: red; }
#media (max-width: 600px) {
html { background: green; }
}
You can be as complex as you want with this.
#media
only screen and (min-width: 100px),
not all and (min-width: 100px),
not print and (min-height: 100px),
(color),
(min-height: 100px) and (max-height: 1000px),
handheld and (orientation: landscape)
{
html { background: red; }
}
Note the only keyword was intended to prevent non-media-query supporting browsers to not load the stylesheet or use the styles. Not sure how useful that ever was / still is.
And for media queries priorites
sources : one two three four five
You are not create any media query for 1280 px resolutions. First create media query for that resolution using following media query.
#media screen and (min-width:1024) and (max-width:1280px)
{
}
I've seen a lot of posts about nesting media queries in LESS so I dont want to repeat any of that or waste anyones time but my question is slightly different. I have a nested media query inside a .less file with this code:
#media only screen and (max-width: 420px), only screen and (max-device-width: 420px){}
So that is on my login.less so my login page will be more responsive. I want to make another page responsive as well so in my aboutMe.less I also added the same code:
#media only screen and (max-width: 420px), only screen and (max-device-width: 420px){}
but its not triggering at all. Can you not have two media queries of the same type in css? So I would need to make a .less file mediaqueries.less and only have one instance of this:
#media only screen and (max-width: 420px), only screen and (max-device-width: 420px){}
and put all the sites code that I want that query to trigger in there, or is it possible to add the same query anywhere you want inside nested less files and im just doing something wrong?
Thanks!
CSS supports multiple identical media queries, if you like, but CSS doesnt support nesting.
LESS, on the other hand, does support a few methods for nesting media queries. You can read about it here: http://lesscss.org/features/#extend-feature-scoping-extend-inside-media
Example:
#media screen {
#media (min-width: 1023px) {
.selector {
color: blue;
}
}
}
Compiles to:
#media screen and (min-width: 1023px) {
.selector {
color: blue;
}
}
LESS also supports nesting media queries below selectors like this:
footer {
width: 100%;
#media screen and (min-width: 1023px) {
width: 768px;
}
}
Compiles to:
footer {
width: 100%;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 1023px) {
footer {
width: 768px;
}
}
If this doesnt answer your question, then please post the relevant part of your LESS file(s).
For media rules on less my recommendation is use Escaping.
Sample
#min768: (min-width: 768px);
.element {
#media #min768 {
font-size: 1.2rem;
}
}
