Apply css styles specific to screen resolution - css

How do i apply styles for differnt screen resolutions
For example: I have a computer with max screen resolution of 1366 X 768
and want to specify css styles only for this resolution .
Css #media rules only take into consideration min-width and max-width of the browser how do i target for specific resolution.

Use the resolution tag i.e. :
#media (resolution: 150dpi) {
p {
color: red;
}
}
More explantations and syntax here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/#media/resolution

Try this:
#media screen and (min-width: 1366px) and (max-width: 1366px)
and (min-height: 768px) and (max-height: 768px) {
/* style */
}

Use width and height mediaqueries
#media (width: 1366px) and (height: 768px) {
:root { background: yellowgreen; }
}
to match a viewport of 1366x768 px
Codepen example
Anyway it's worth noting that, unless you are in fullscreen mode, that rule won't be applied because the UI of your browser takes some room, so the actual viewport can't be exactly the same of the chosen resolution.

You can try this
#media screen and (min-width: 1500px) and (max-width: 1600px){
/*Your style */
}

Simple question about media screen. How to use both width and height (each one depends on other)?

So what I have is one with max-width: 992px, another is max-height: 732px and max-width: 992px. What I want is to media screen do something only if both height and width are lower than max.
I have this:
#media screen and (max-height: 753px) and (max-width: 992px){
}
How it should be?
Nvm, just place #media screen inside another.
You can use nested media queries. Something like this
#media (max-width:992px) {
#media (max-height:432px) {
.test-div{
background-color: blue;
}
}
}
Maybe this works well in your case
#media screen and (max-height: 753px) , screen and (max-width: 992px) {
....
....
}
Check Documentation Here
You should use only end in between your height and width property
#media (max-width: 992px) and (max-height: 732px) {
/* CSS stuff */
}

Maximum and minimum value for height and width on iframe

Been doing media Queries for Iframe. This two media queries below works fine for iframe when editing the Height and width
min-device-width: 768px) and(max-device-width: 1024px)
min-device-width: 600px) and (max-device-width: 960px)
However when queries on htc phone it does not do anything with its size..
min-device-width: 360px)and (max-device-width: 640px)
Here is my code
#media screen and (min-width: 360px) and (max-width: 640px),(min-device-width: 360px)and
(max-device-width: 640px) and (orientation : landscape)
{
/* CSS */
.wrap{
width:75%;
}
.iframe {
max-height:30vh;
max-width:30%;
}
.html{
background-color:red;
}
}
even the background colors not working when try to do a troubleshooting
It might be due to the device high-resolution, and thus queries never get triggered. Try specifying the resolution units on your media queries.
Otherwise just use min-height and min-width media queries. They're more reliable.

Responsive css same width different height

Lets say i want to make my div responsive for same width but different height.
Same width but if height is different, it will optimize the div different, like the code below but it is not working.
#media all and(min-width:1280px) and (height:768px){
#myDiv{height:84%}
}
#media all and(min-width:1280px) and (height:1200px){
#myDiv{height:97%}
}
Try this code
#media screen and (min-width: 1280px) and (max-height: 768px){
#myDiv{height:84%}
}
#media all and(min-width:1280px) and (max-height:1200px) and (min-height: 769px){
#myDiv{height:97%}
}

responsive webdesign: Media Queries not working for other screens

#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)
{
}

CSS: apply rule only in specific mediaquery?

following situation … 
/* #media screen and (min-width: 480px) */
#media screen and (min-width: 30em) {
#el { background:red; }
}
/* #media screen and (min-width: 640px) */
#media screen and (min-width: 40em) {
#el { background:none; }
}
So if the viewport is smaller than 480px #el should be red, if the viewport is wider it should have no background-color applied!
Is there some css trick to apply this rule only for min-width: 30em so I don't have to "reset" it in the next mediaquery?
Ideas and thoughts on that?
Thank you in advance!
Try in this way
#media screen and (min-width: 30em) and (max-width: 40em) {
#el { background:red; }
}
example fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/2ySNu/
If you want the background for #e1 to be red below a certain breakpoint, you should use max-width. If you want to apply styling rules for viewports that a greater than a certain breakpoint - that's when you should use min-width. In your example: #media screen and (min-width: 30em), the background will be red only when the viewport is larger than 30em - once it hits 40em it'll revert back to none (based on your other rule). In order to set the background for viewports smaller than 480px simply use max-width, you don't even have to worry about "resetting" because once the viewport exceeds 480px that rule will not apply.
/* #media screen and (max-width: 480px) */
#media screen and (max-width: 30em) {
#el { background:red; }
}
Just remember, the rules you declare in min-width will apply to viewports that have a width greater than that breakpoint width you specify. Whereas rules declared in max-width will apply to viewports that are less/smaller than the breakpoint width.
