How do I combine two media queries?
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
How could i apply different media queries in a single CSS file.I am applying the below queries but only the latest one works..
#media only screen and (max-width: 500px){
css styling here
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px){
css styling here
}
If you're defining the same CSS properties of the same elements, the last definition will have priority.
In this case, here is a solution :
#media only screen and (max-width: 500px){
/* CSS apply on width between 0 and 500px */
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) and (min-width: 501px){
/* CSS apply on width between 501px and 600px */
}
The meta tag should be added in the <head> tag in HTML document. Please check that have you added
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
The sequential order of css code also matters. Please change sequence by following:
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px){
body{ background:green;}
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 500px){
body{ background:red;}
}

Due to my vague understanding of tools I am using I failed to identify the source of the problem. node-sass does not provide media-queries aggregation, but css-mqpacker does, that is where I had to look for the problem resolvation. https://github.com/hail2u/node-css-mqpacker/issues/49.
What would be your way out of the following situation.
I merge two partial .scss files by #importing them to base file. Each file has media queries, and they provide styles for respective element of a page.
/* contents of index.scss */
#import "_block.scss", "_block-2.scss";
First file introduces two breakpoints, and order of appearance for these breakpoints in sass compiled stylesheet is defined by order in this file.
/* contents of _block.scss */
.block {
#media (max-width: 500px) {...}
#media (max-width: 450px) {...}
}
The #import of the second file has the same set of breakpoints plus one for max-width: 550px.
/* contents of _block-2.scss */
.block-2 {
#media (max-width: 550px) {...}
#media (max-width: 500px) {...}
#media (max-width: 450px) {...}
}
Identical breakpoints are aggregated during compilation, but a new one is placed at the end of compiled stylesheet, overriding properties for all breakpoints for particular element, which is not desirable behavior.
/* stylesheet compiled by sass */
#media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
.block {...}
.block-2 {...}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 450px) {
.block {...}
.block-2 {...}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 550px) {
.block-2 {...}
}
What would be a right solution?
This example represents a project where I cannot import second file before the first one because it introduces another problems with overriding.
I ended up defining style specifically to order all existing breakpoints, and introducing it early, but it is a hack I do not like at all, so I still in need for elegant solution.
It concerns me whether there is a use for media queries nested in CSS rules if it leads to such implications. In desktop first and mobile first media queries order matters, but I do not have sufficient control of it even in this simple case.
.block {
background-color: lightblue;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
.block {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 450px) {
.block {
background-color: lavender;
}
}

I added your current setup & and a suggested solution.
This is assumed you really need to run the 2 css files in the order you explained. It is also assumed that you want to keep as-is but have the final result working.
Since you might (for some reason) not want to delete the original values in CSS, you will have to set the ones you do not want to use, to transparent. That is background-color original default.
As a second step you need to decide which max-width you really want. When you know that you can secure the system uses that by adding "!important".

#media (max-width: 500px) {body {background-color: transparent}}

CSS
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-width: 480px)" href="example.css">
what is the use of media="screen and (max-width: 480px) in this css attribute. Is this related with #media only screen (max-width: 480px) in css body. Please explain about this. I can't really understand.
If yes,
CSS
/* For mobile phones: */
[class*="col-"] {
width: 100%;
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 600px) {
/* For tablets: */
.col-m-1 {width:8.33%;}
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
/* For desktop: */
.col-1 {width:8.33%;}
}
I have three formate for mobile, desktop and tablet in my CSS body. In this type how will I put it. Do I need to put multiple media tag in my css attribute.
Yes, its related.
You can use media queries in few ways.
You can declare some stylles in CSS body as You writed:
#media only screen (max-width: 480px)
Or You can specife in html which .css file will be used in which situation:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-width: 480px)" href="example.css">
So You can use media queries in multiple ways.
I suggesty You, when You have several lines of css code to put in media - use this inline form in css body. When You want to put some big amount of code -it's better to refactor this to different files. The code will be more clean and decent.
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 searched and searched and I can not seem to find a reason why my html meta tag is not working on my iPhone. You can visit my website at http://hadenhiles.mooo.com. If you resize the viewport (window) you will see that my site responds totally as expected... however when you view it on a mobile device you get a result that looks as though it is a desktop version. here is the head tag and it's contents:
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
As you likely have noticed I use my own stylesheet as well as the bootstrap3 stylesheet. I know I should likely stick to one or the other when it comes to layout but I made this website using only my own media queries before I was introduced to bootstrap. I only use bootstrap in the footer and for popups/navbar features. Anyway bootstrap is not the issue. It seems as though the meta tag is not recognizing the device width and is not setting the initial scale to 1.0. I have tried varying the min-width of my queries to debug but had no success. Here is are my css media queries:
/* Main css */
#media only screen and (min-width: 1px) and (max-width: 320px){
/* content */
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 321px) and (max-width: 600px){
/* content */
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 601px) and (max-width: 768px){
/* content */
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 1020px){
/* content */
}
I have tried switching from #media only screen and to #media screen as someone suggested in another question but had no success either. At first I thought that the min/max width was too big/small for mobile devices so I changed that and nothing happened. I have had this problem for about 3 months now so I decided to publish my own question. Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

So this isn't exactly defining what's going on, although I do think that it is due to min and max conflicts. Try setting only max-width since that seems to be covering everything. It seems redundant to say min-width is 1px and max width is 320px and then for the next media query to be 321px. If you set the max-width to 320px, it will cover that range. If you set the next one to 600 pixels, it will cover the 320-600 range, etc.
#media only screen and (max-width: 320px){
/* content */
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px){
/* content */
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 768px){
/* content */
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 1020px){
/* content */
}
Alternatively, you might try using min-device-width and max-device-width. Here's a link to a decent resource on media queries for standard devices.
I'm trying to use media-queries in my CSS for the first time, but I don't seem to be having much luck getting it to work.
To test, I wanted my #page-wrap to resize to 440px when something like an iPhone is looking at the page, but nothing changes.
This is what I've used.
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
#page-wrap {width:440px;}
}
I also put this in my header.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Is this correct?
Is there a specific reason you're using max-device-width? Unlike max-width, it will not help with people rotating their device or other types of adjustments.
Instead, stick to using max-width, like the following:
#media only screen and (max-width: 300px) {
#page-wrap {
width:100px;
}
}
Check out this jsFiddle that illustrates it.
Try this for your media query:
#media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {}
