Bootstrap has an amazing responsive layout system, however, sometimes its sizing with retina screens isn't quite 'right'.
For example, my retina iPad has a huge screen size but the actual display isn't the same. On the iPad I'd like to hide the left navigation component and use the expand button in the header control to show/hide, however, my iPad retina hits the large screen size and therefore is not hidden.
I've got my left nav using the bootstrap 3 classes: nav-left nav-collapse and I realize I can adjust the min/mid/max sizes but i dont think thats the right approach. What am I missing?
Style your page using #media queries.
Just like this:
#media for retina
#media only screen
and (min-device-width: 1536px)
and (max-device-width: 2048px)
and (orientation: landscape)
and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
.nav-left {
/* STYLE HERE YOUR MIN/MAX SIZE */
}
.nav-collapse {
/* STYLE HERE YOUR MIN/MAX SIZE */
}
}
#media for iPad Landscape and Portrait
#media only screen
and (min-device-width: 768px)
and (max-device-width: 1024px) {
/* STYLES GO HERE */
}

I am helping to style an app that is being built in Alpha Anywhere. The goal is to use #media tag to enable different styles to accommodate small phones in portrait orientation, large phones in portrait orientation, phones in landscape orientation, and Tablets.
My thought was to use #media screen and... to define ranges of sizes and have style code within it's brackets that define appropriate container and font sizes to make each format ideal for the device it will be shown on.
Because I'm working in Alpha Anywhere, there is a tab for the CSS. I need to put all the CSS in this one location so I can't ref out to different .css file for each different style. My hope was to bracket the code for one style within one media range and the code for another style within another and so on. Can I have multiple line/regions defined by their #media ranges?
#media screen and (min-width: 150px) and (max-width: 350px) and (orientation: portrait) {
/* Style Code for Small Phone Portrait Orientation Here */
}
#media screen and (min-width: 351px) and (max-width: 560px) and (orientation: portrait) {
/* Style Code for Large Phone Portrait Orientation Here */
}
#media screen and (max-width: 415px) and (orientation:landscape) {
/* Style Code for Phone Landscape Orientation Here */
}
#media screen and (min-width: 561px) {
/* Style Code for Tablet Here */
}
When I organize my style code like this it appears to be heeding only the style from the last of the 4 sets of code(tablet style). Is there a way for me to style these different sizes/orientations on one page?
Start from mobile and write your default styles. Make small changes at the next breakpoint up, keeping it simple and only overriding what is necessary. Media queries for orientation will only complicate things, so use only min-width.
/* Styles for default */
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
/* Add styles for next size up */
}
#media screen and (min-width: 720px) {
/* Add styles for next size up */
}
#media screen and (min-width: 960px) {
/* Add styles for next size up */
}
I have a div on a page that I dont want to display for a iphone 5 (portrait width of 374px or less). But if I rotate to landscape, the div is displayed.
How can I write a media query that says, if the screen has a max-width of 374px in portrait mode, then apply the css when in lanscape mode too?
The iphone 5 has a landscape width of 568px so you can use this info with orientation and max-device-width like so:
#media screen and (max-width: 374px),
screen
and (max-device-width: 568px)
and (orientation: landscape) {
/* styles here for iphone 5 landscape + any screen below 374px */
.hide-content-iphone5 {
display: none;
}
}
The comma in the media query signifies "or" -- so it captures screens that are either less than 374px or have a max device width of 568px and are on landscape orientation.
I am implementing a HTML application based on responsive design.
I am using "#media only screen" for responsive styling.
I am using the below Css Code for mobile orientation(Landscape/Portrait):
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 465px), screen and (max-width: 465px)
.align {
width: 33.33%;
}
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 736px), screen and (max-width: 736px)
.align {
width: 25%;
}
The first one is for vertical and second one is for landscape styles.
The issue is when I changing the browser orientation form Portrait to landscape, the Portrait style is not removed in css both styles are in enabled state but if I reduce the browser size the vertical style is removed and the landscape style is taking the responsibility.
So How do I remove the unwanted style from my page without changing the browser window size.
You can provide some additional condition with orientation
#media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px)
and (orientation : portrait) { /* STYLES GO HERE */ }
We can also define the css without orientation I think, by defining the media width is enough for styling
#media (max-width: 465px){
//Do your styling here
}
#media (max-width: 1024px){
//Do your styling here
}
This will help u style the css not only for mobile portrait and lanscape but also for device that are in screen size.
I am using bootstrap to build a client's site and I have come unstuck when trying to target landscape and portrait orientation on mobile in order to add some specific styles for both viewports. How do I target portrait and landscape orientation for mobile styles? I need to add specific styles at 320px breakpoint and certain styles at 480px breakpoint. With my current media queries this is not working Currently in my stylesheet I have the following:
/* portrait phones */
#media only screen and (max-width: 320px) and (orientation:portrait) {
/* Styles */
}
/* landscape phones */
#media only screen and (min-width: 321px) and (orientation:landscape) {
/* Styles */
}
If I put styles in for landscape however I don't think they are being picked up. Every time I make a change and then refresh my Iphone I don't see any difference. Im thinking maybe my media queries are wrong? If there is a better way to target mobile states I would greatly appreciate any help.
Try to use:
#media (orientation: portrait) and (max-width: 400px) {Fooobar}
#media (orientation: landscape) and (max-width: 400px) {foobar}
I managed to resolve this issue in the end by adding a max-width to my 321px media query and was able to target both landscape and portrait mobile orientation. I also found in my header I had: initial-scale=1 which seemed to be causing the problem and after removing it I was able to target the mobile breakpoints I needed.
/*Portrait phones */
#media (max-width:320px){}
/* Landscape phones and down */
#media (min-width: 321px) and (max-width: 480px) {}
I am having trouble with: http://brybell.me/vipeepz/skeleton/
/* Smaller than standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {}
/* Tablet Portrait size to standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {}
/* All Mobile Sizes (devices and browser) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
}
/* Mobile Landscape Size to Tablet Portrait (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {
}
/* Mobile Portrait Size to Mobile Landscape Size (devices and browsers) */
#media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
#logo {
margin-top:400px;
position:relative;
}
}
That is the media query code within the layout.css file of the skeleton boilerplate/ framework.
It does not seem to be picking up the media query, I have tried many things and it doesn't seem to be working.
There are two logos now, because I was doing some testing, but I really am just trying to do something simple similar to instagram's website. simple phone image with screenshot and then a logo and block of text beneath.
I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you very much. I have been frustrated with this because I had the site how I wanted it on desktop, but can't get things to reposition to where I want them to be.
Your inline style declaration is overwriting the media query in this case since inline styles have higher specificity. Try moving your inline styles into an external stylesheet and your media query for #logo should be picked up.
