I've been stuck on the following problem for a while now.
#media screen and (min-width: 414px) and (max-width: 600px) {
/* appropriate code */
}
#media screen and (min-width: 601px) and (max-width: 767px) {
/* appropriate code */
}
The issue I have is that when a screen is on the specific width of 767px, no styling is applied. What really confuses me is that on the other hand the specific width of 600px does work, while both are the max-width value of their respective media query. I have had this issue with other similar media queries but decided to simply provide you with those two to make my problem clear. I have tried out several things (verifying zoom value of browser, trying on different browser) but it doesn't seem to work. At first I thought it might be a bug but it's a recuring problem. Do any of you have an idea as to what might be the problem?
It's working correctly on my side. But for more accuracy, you can use decimal values like so.
/* 414 -> 413.7 600 -> 600.3 */
#media screen and (min-width: 413.7px) and (max-width: 600.3px) {
div {
color: red;
}
}
/* 601 -> 600.7 767 -> 767.3 */
#media screen and (min-width: 600.7px) and (max-width: 767.3px) {
div {
color: blue;
}
}
<div>Hello</div>
When min-width is used, it means the lowest width and styles are set for the higher width
When max-width is used, it means the maximum width and styles are set for the width less than that
When both are used, styles are applied when the width between the values is entered

I want to change a webpage design if device screen width is greater than 1024px for this I using #media only screen and (min-width: > 1024px){ } but it is not working .
Please tell me what is the solution .
Instead of using Demo
#meida only screen and (min-width: > 1024px){...}
use this
#media screen and (min-width:1024px) {...}
/* styles for browsers larger than 1024px; */
#media screen and (max-width:1024px) {...}
/* styles for browsers less than 1024px; */
}
The current code that you have tried to implement will do the trick, but only if you rectify the syntax errors in it.
So, instead of
#media only screen and (min-width: > 1024px){ }
you could do
#media only screen and (min-width: 1024px){
/* css rules here will apply only if the size of the screen is greater than AND equal to 1024px */
}
Note: #media query values specified for the min-width|max-width will be inclusive of the value itself as well. Meaning that if you want that a particular style apply to an element exactly when the width of the screen is greater than 1024px (and not equal to it), you should change the value to min-width: 1025px.
Website I've been working on just started ignoring all media queries. I can't seem to find the problem.
http://fnd.instinctdigitalmedia.com/
On the homepage the images under the 'Browse our Products" section shoud change based on screen width. at 320px, 480px, and 768px screen width it still shows the originals.
You must target the ancestor or parent to override what the previous query has done.
From 760px to override its style rule you should add call the parent #content of the img to override the rule in 760px
Example:
#content > img {width:25%;}
}
#media screen and (max-width : 480px){
#content > img {width:50%;}
}
#media screen and (max-width : 760px){
img {width:100%;}
}
There's a few issues I can see. Firstly, media queries aren't firing because:
There's a closing parenthese missing on line 899, flipping an error. To find this, I added my own media query showing something obvious, and pasted it at the top of the CSS, then further and further down until it stopped working.
Also, the mobile view failed because you are missing 'and' in your media query:
#media only screen (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 480px) {}
It should be:
#media only screen and (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 480px) {
As for the width break itself, a handy trick with responsive designs is to limit this kind of issue from ever occurring before you even start styling (this is a rough guide, not a comprehensive list):
img, video, object, iframe, fieldset, table, form, article, section, header, nav, footer {
max-width:100% !important;
}
Even when respecifying the widths of your images, you are still using pixel widths instead of a relative measurement like percentages. This means the images will stay a static size and won't resize correctly to the screen no matter what.
Lastly, you are using a 'bracketed' approach for your media queries. This means rather than allowing your existing CSS to cascade down your media queries, saving you having to specify things twice that aren't going to change, you must repeat the same code many times.
For example, you currently have:
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {
.product-cat-1 {
position: relative;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto 10px auto;
width: 430px;
height: 150px;
background-image: url('http://localhost/firstnations/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/home-lighting.jpg');
}
}
Anything below 768px must be specified all over again. This leads to massive amounts of repeated code, and a lot of extra work for you. The simpler approach would be:
#media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
/* all styles for under 1024px */
}
Then for anything smaller:
#media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
/* only styles that need to change when under 768px wide */
}
I'm trying to make my website design responsive.
So far, I've got the following rules:
#media screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
/* styles for screen width 1000px and wider */
}
#media screen and (min-width: 500px)and (max-width: 800px) {
/* styles for screen width between 500px and 800px */
}
For some reason, the last media query doesn't work. In fact, it completely strips all styles from every element on the page.
I've been looking around and I can't find any hint as to why this is or what I'm doing wrong...
I feel like I'm missing a concept or something... Everyone's talking to me about percentages, and while I'm taking that on board, I'm not seeing how it relates to the media queries not applying the style rules.
Can anyone provide any clarity?
Thanks in advance!
You don't have a closing comment tag.
#media screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
/* styles for screen width 1000px and wider */
}
#media screen and (min-width: 500px)and (max-width: 800px) {
/* styles for screen width between 500px and 800px */
}
Nothing else wrong here.
I'm finding the concept of the (min-width/max-width) media query a bit confusing.
Naturally if I was to design a media query I would want to say (in pseudo-code)....
if(screen.width < 420)
{
ApplyStyle();
}
This concept of talking about min and max doesn't make any sense since the 'min-width' of something like a div element is a command not a question.
I know that the following is true when my screen goes below 420px...
#media screen and (max-width:420px) {
}
I just don't know why because the max width is something I tell it to have. If I have told it to have something why is css checking it? Surely it already knows it.
I'm perhaps missing the grammer/context here. Can someone please explain?
min-width in media queries is not related to the min-width property you set on elements, those are two different things.
In media queries min-width: X is true if the viewport has a width greater or equal to X, effectively working as screen.width >= X. Obviously max-width would then be equal to screen.width <= X
To me it makes perfect sense, if you read #media screen and (max-width:420px) as a screen with a maximum width of 420px, so anything from 0 to 420px
Here is a simple example, hopefully it helps..
Say we have a website with the following media queries:
/* #1- Large desktop */
#media (min-width: 980px) { ... }
/* #2- Portrait tablet to landscape and desktop */
#media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) { ... }
/* #3- Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
#media (max-width: 767px) { ... }
/* #4- Landscape phones and down */
#media (max-width: 480px) { ... }
If the screen size of the browser is 1200px, query #1 will be satisfied, as the minimum width of the browser has to be 980px for this query to be displayed.
Lets say we resize the browser now, and bring it all the way down to 250px.. query #4 is satisfied as the MAX is 480px..
Here is a simple translation of the queries..
#media (min-width: 980px) { ... }
Display if screen is greater than or equal to 980px
#media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) { ... }
Display if screen is greater than or equal to 768px and less than or equal to 978px
#media (max-width: 767px) { ... }
Display if screen is greater than 480px and less than or equal to 767px.
#media (max-width: 480px) { ... }
Display if screen is less than or equal to 480px
Using these queries, you will always have a result, as one query is always satisfied.
The confusion here is that there is both a min-width CSS property and media query with the same name:
#media (min-width: 420px) {...} /* This is read-only and is set to screen size */
.element { min-width: 420px; ...} /* This is setting a property of the selected element */
new to css3 media queries and responsive design.
I would like to know how to show something (say a div) on small screens only but not on large screens.
I've tried something like:
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.show-on-small-only{ display:block; visibility:visible;}
}
...
and anything larger has eg:
#media (max-width: 768px) {
.show-on-small-only{ display:hidden; visibility:none;}
}
it doesn't seem to work as intended.
might be worth pointing out that i'm using bootstrap 2.0
It's a better practice to make all your default style mobile-friendly and then use min- media queries to size up:
div { /*put whatever your default styles are first*/ }
/* Then use the media query to hide it at 481 and wider */
#media all and (min-width:481px) {
div { display:none }
}
Look at 320andup and Skeleton and the CSS of this page for examples. Look at the helper classes towards the bottom of this CSS for differences between invisible/hidden etc.
You can put this first
/* for small screens, only execute in if statement */
#media only screen and (min-width : 320px) and (max-width : 768px) {
.smallOnly {
visibility:visible!important;
display:block!important;
}}
Then at the bottom of it put it for large screens (always execute since not in if statement)
.smallOnly {
visibility: none;
display: none;}
The important tg makes it so that anything with important always overwrite everything else and it will be the master rule regardless of where it is in the file.
