I need to fix responsiveness of website on this fixed-width width:360px;. But I can't figure out the media query to use.
Will it be #media only screen and (width:360px) or will this will work
#media all and (max-width: 362px) and (min-width:361px)?
yes you can use #media only screen and (width:360px){} it will work

Total NOOB at web development and trying to teach myself here and it’s quite daunting to say the least, but I’m having fun nonetheless.
Anyway, I know that media queries affect the way mobile devices render the page on various screen sizes, but I want to know if there’s just one media query that can affect ALL mobile devices regardless of screen size?
I just want to make sure it won’t affect the Desktop.
For instance I want to tweak a navigation menu on all mobile devices, but I don’t want to meticulously change each media query that pertains to a screen size in my style.css.
I just want to create one media query to make this tweak that will affect all mobile screen sizes.
Hope that makes sense.
As always, you all are awesome!
Thanks for your help!
happy that you are choose to learn Web-Development.
But your way sounds more complicated than it is. First, Desktop and Mobile can be the same at all. It only counts down to Media Queries. On a Desktop, your Browser can be have the same width as a mobile device. So you need to clarify in your Project at which point you want to show the User the "Mobile" Styles and when to display the "Desktop" Styles. In most Projects I worked or saw, the default Media Queries are something like that:
#media (min-width: 320px) {}
#media (min-width: 768px) {}
#media (min-width: 1024px) {}
#media (min-width: 1220px) {}
#media (min-width: 1440px) {}
So you see on every media query you can attach some new styles for the selected query size. To make its easier for writing styles and don't override all these things on every new width, you can make something like that:
#media (min-width: 320px) {} // for general stylings (both, mobile && desktop)
#media (max-width: 767px) {} // for only styles between 320px and 768px (most mobile devies)
#media (min-width: 768px) {} // general desktop && tablet styles if needed
#media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {} // only tablet styles
#media (min-width: 1025px) // start with desktop styling
All these styles between the media queries are only attached to the sizes.
So just choose your needed width, for example:
All mobile styles attached only between 320px and 1024px
#media (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 1024px) {
.nav{ background: red; }
}
All desktop styles attached only after 1025px
#media (min-width: 1025px) {
.nav{ background: green; }
}
All these media queries just show the different widths, you also can do this by heights, but its way more difficult because of the device/display sizes.
If you really want to check the User Agent and divide between the browser, agents, devices or something like that you will need JavaScript and thats way more complex than just display the styles for different widths.
I hope this helps you! If you have any questions about Media Queries and how to write them correctly, MDN is a good resource: MDN - Media Queries
For anyone looking for a generic and easy media query for mobile, I would suggest the following:
#media screen and (max-width: 767px) {}
Similar to the suggestion by #m4n0, but this is the correct query including the "and". This is a good start, and then you can continue to define more breakpoints as you need more responsiveness along the way.
It depends on is your mobile layout is designed. As even in the mobile view you need to think about Portrait and landscape mode.
For some common styling, I normally use
#media screen (max-width: 767px) { }
You can also use orientation to set media queries like below
#media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (orientation: portrait) {
Your classes here
}
#media screen and (max-device-width: 640px) and (orientation: landscape) {
Your classes here
}
Great question, Android and Apple devices in my search normally fall within 450px in portrait and 800px on landscape, I would suggest you create a media query for both these sizes and you would have covered a high number of mobile devices in both portrait mode and landscape mode. If you are targeting a specific device I would suggest looking up those specific screen viewport sizes and adjusting or adding more media queries to cover those cases. Hope this helps! Keep learning.

Why is some devices NOT listening to my media query when the device width is smaller than "375" which is my smallest breakpoint. I use #media (min-width: 375px) { // Rules here }... I get that it "requires" that the device has to be at least "375px" wide, but I can't figure out what's wrong here. It works when I change the 375-breakpoint to 0px... But is that even a correct approach?
In my "media.scss" file, I've it all set up like this:
#media (min-width: 375px) {}
#media (min-width: 768px) {}
#media (min-width: 992px) {}
#media (min-width: 1280px) {}
Everything works fine, but when testing on a device that is smaller than 375 pixels, it doesn't consider the rules. I hope you get what I mean. I've looked how bootstrap has their media queries, and I can't really tell if there is any difference.
No matter if you use the mobile-first or desktop-first approach, you need some styles that apply when none of the media queries apply. In your example, there are no styles which apply for widths below 375px. Most likely it would be okay if you simply take the CSS rules you have inside the first query (<375) out of that query and put it at the very beginning of the stylesheet.
Or said differenty: Just erase the #media (min-width: 375px) { at the beginning and its closing } bracket, then those styles will apply to all widths below 768px (also to those narrower than 375px)
Create a media query with max-width: 374px and insert your css into it.
Is it possible to create a media query for 5:4 desktops (1280x1024)?
I'm trying with this code:
#media screen and (max-width: 1281px) and (min-height: 1023px) {
}
..but it still not working
I think it is not working, because your browser does not have 1280x1024px on desktop with that resolution (it is smaller - something like 1260x980px because of scrollbar etc.)
I am working on this website http://www.passiveincomekube.com/violeta/ and I am testing responsiveness here studiopress dot com/responsive/ ,I wrote Media Query for these screen sizes #media only screen and (max-width: 1500px) #media only screen and (max-width: 1139px) #media only screen and (max-width: 1023px) and if I can see my website here studiopress dot com/responsive/ ,the responsiveness works till 768 px devices .
I am writing Media Query for now #media only screen and (max-width: 767px) device ,it is not working and still loading previous media query that is for 1023px one
Is there any solution so that it loads Media query for this and below devices #media only screen and (max-width: 767px)
Regards
The way I see your site right now, your style.css contains three media queries for 1023px (line 2014, line 2645, and line 2823) but none for 768px. Perhaps you forgot to update the server?
For my CSS media queries I've set it up mobile first which deals with all the overall styling.
I then have:
#media only screen and (min-width : 790px) {
}
#media only screen and (min-width : 990px) {
}
and I've added in
#media screen and (orientation: landscape) and (max-width: 520px) {
}
which deals with the CSS changes when the smart phone is turned round to landscape mode, but it doesn't seem to work, am I writing the landscape media query wrong?
Had a similar issue: my iPod/iPhone devices were detected as portrait orientation even when rotated.
I managed to resolve that with the following media query:
#media screen and (min-aspect-ratio: 4/3)
{*your styles here*}
If you want to target any case when width is greater than height, I think something like (min-aspect-ratio: 101/100) or something like this might work. However, for current devices 4/3 is sufficient, I think.
If you need aspect ratio for landscape, I think min-aspect-ratio: 1 suffices ... and therefore max-aspect-ratio: 1 for portrait.
But, even when the CSS is correct, there's an additional step required for a Cordova / PhoneGap app: Why doesn't my Cordova/PhoneGap iOS app rotate when the device rotates?
I found this StackOverflow item before that one, so perhaps others will also find a cross-link useful.
