I've got a really weird problem with the placement of my navigation after resizing the browser window. The best way to explain it is to show it I think.
After resizing to width < 600px and back to width > 600px:

This issue is in Chrome. In safari the displacement is different, but also there. Other browsers have not been tested yet.
I am using media queries in my HTML header:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/global.css" type="text/css" media="only screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style600.css" type="text/css" media="only screen and (max-width: 600px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style1024.css" type="text/css" media="only screen and (min-width: 601px) and (max-width: 1024px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/stylefull.css" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width: 1025px)" />
Do you have any idea what the problem is and/or were it comes from? I simply do not know where to look.
I am trying to build a seperate CSS file for a site for mobile. The regular site was not originally built with mobile in mind, but the site now needs mobile functionality. Problem is, I am not able to get the mobile css file to load on any phone device. I have tried it on my Droid Razor in two seperate browsers, I have also tried emulating it using this: http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/.
I can't get the mobile CSS file to load either way. I am not sure why. I set a few divs and all images to display:none; just to see if it is working, but I am not getting any results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Below is my links to the css files.
<link href="/stylesheets/css_Sanford.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (min-device-width: 481px" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheets/content-sanford.css" media="only screen and (min-device-width: 481px" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/mobile-sanford.css" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" />
This is the mobile CSS file code:
#charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
#sliderFrame{
display:none;
}
#slider{
display:none;
}
img {
dipslay:none;
}
div#player{
display:none;
}
You forgot some ")" in two first link
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheets/css_Sanford.css" media="only screen and (min-device-width: 481px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheets/content-sanford.css" media="only screen and (min-device-width: 481px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheets/mobile-sanford.css" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" />
I'm trying to create a responsive website. The design has 3 breaks, at 480px, 768px and 1024px. My link-section in the document head looks like this:
<link media="only screen and (max-device-width: 479)" href="320.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link media="only screen and (min-device-width: 480) and (max-device-width: 767)" href="480.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link media="only screen and (min-device-width: 768) and (max-device-width: 1023)" href="768.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link media="only screen and (min-device-width: 1024)" href="1024.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
The problem with this is, that legacy devices that do not understand media queries don't load any of the style sheets.
Is there any way to include a stylesheet that is recognized only by devices that do not support media queries, like old Internet Explorers?
I would rather not include this stylesheet for all browsers and then reset or override it.
Thanks,

Just for tests and learning css3 i am trying to create small mobile website. But for now I have small problem with targeting stylesheets. I'm doing it in such way:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-width: 180px)" href="xsmall.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (min-width: 240px)" href="small.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (min-width: 320px)" href="medium.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (min-width: 480px)" href="large.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (min-width: 540px)" href="wide.css" />
Unfortunatelly after changing xsmall.css change is visible also in other web versions ( so for 480px, 540 px etc ). I test websites (mobile one) on Opera Mobile Emulator. What I'm doing wrong?
thanks
What you are doing wrong is to think that your stylesheet selection includes only one of the style sheets.
A style sheet that you include with min-width will be included for any resolution that is larger, so if I for example have a 600px wide screen, I will get small.css, medium.css, large.css and wide.css, not only wide.css.
(Also, if I have a 200px wide screen, it would not include any style sheet at all...)
You would need to use both min-width and max-width to make it only include one of the style sheets.
I've looked through the stack overflow topics on this question, as well as some google search results but I can't seem to solve my issue.
I've created a stylesheet for mobile devices(mobile.css) which is essentially a copy of my main.css with changes to many of the attributes. When I load only mobile.css as the stylesheet it looks great on my iPhone, just how I want it to. However when I put both in, I am getting a mix of both, but more of the main.css
Any idea why?
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel='stylesheet' media='screen and (max-device-width: 480px)' href='styles/mobile.css' type='text/css' />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
</head>
According to documents, syntax of loading another file in specific device/condition is like this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-width: 400px)" href="mobile.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (min-width: 401px)" href="desktop.css" />
This will load only one css file for every single amount of width
For iPhone 4 and new generation iPod touch that have Retina display there is something that you should note. iPhone 4 width is 640 pixels that many developers don't count this width as a mobile browser width. If you add this below meta tag in your document problem will be solved
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320">
This meta tag will impact your images quality. If you want to fix that problem then you need to read about this here.
Its hard to know without any markup but i'm guessing you should do something like:
http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/blog/about/hardboiled_css3_media_queries
<link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css" /> // has all the common classes
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mobile.css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 320px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="largescreen.css" media="screen and (min-device-width: 321px)" />
Your mobile stylesheet is loaded conditionally, which means that the computer will load only the main.css, while the iPhone will load both main.css and mobile.css.
If you want to start from scratch when you load the page on the iPhone, just add this chunk of CSS to the top of your mobile.css:
/*

html{color:#000;background:#FFF}body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,code,form,fieldset,legend,input,textarea,p,blockquote,th,td{margin:0;padding:0}table{border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0}fieldset,img{border:0}address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var{font-style:normal;font-weight:normal}li{list-style:none}caption,th{text-align:left}h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{font-size:100%;font-weight:normal}q:before,q:after{content:''}abbr,acronym{border:0;font-variant:normal}sup{vertical-align:text-top}sub{vertical-align:text-bottom}input,textarea,select{font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-weight:inherit}input,textarea,select{*font-size:100%}legend{color:#000}
It effectively resets the CSS.
#scott; may be you have to define your mobile.css after main.css like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mobile.css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" />
or you can define your mobile css in your main.css like this:
#media screen and (max-device-width: 480px){
body {
background: #ccc;
}
}
EDIT:
write this <!DOCTYPE html> instead of <DOCTYPE html> in your html.
