In my responsive website I want to control the way the website is viewed in mobile devices, and forbid viewing from landscape mode.
I searched through the stackoverflow site and found the option of putting a warning message.
I tried the css code below but it didn't work. Do you have any suggestions?
#media screen and (max-width: 980px) and (orientation:portrait){
#warning-message {
display:none;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 980px) and (orientation:landscape){
.content {
display:none;
}
.mobile {
display:none;
}
#warning-message {
display:block;
}
}
The ‘orientation’ media feature is ‘portrait’ when the value of the ‘height’ media feature is greater than or equal to the value of the ‘width’ media feature. Otherwise ‘orientation’ is ‘landscape’.
#media all and (orientation:portrait) { … }
#media all and (orientation:landscape) { … }

Is it possible in Firebug (Firefox Web Development add-on) to display which media query rules are currently active?
E.g.: I monitor a div element as usual. Then I scale the browser window to be smaller than 400px (or use the Firefox web dev screen size tool). I want to see a list of rules that are currently active for this element like this.
#media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
div { float: left }
}
Is that possible with Firebug or a similar tool?
You can use something like this, to show what mediaquery is currently working, please update with your mediaqueries:
The div will print what mediaquery is 'on', so you can hide the div, and use it only for development purposes.
#media (min-width: 400px) {
.mediaq:after {
content:'min 400'
}
}
#media (min-width: 800px) {
.mediaq:after {
content:'min 800'
}
}
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
.mediaq:after {
content:'min 1200'
}
}
<div class="mediaq"></div>
I have a blog http://bdbloggerhub.com . It's fine in pc but when i visit it with mobile or tab it shows a blank pic above the post pic. How to remove it?
try adding .img-thumbnail{display:none;} at the end of your styles.
or for particular screen size add the following styles.
#media only screen and (max-width: 479px)
.img-thumbnail {
display none;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 767px) and (min-width: 480px)
.img-thumbnail {
display:none;
}
you can also use the {width:0; height:0} properties in place of {display:none}
I can't figure out the issue. I searched a lot and after that. I am here for help so guys please help me. Below is the HTML I use:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0">
and these are the media queries
#media all and (max-width: 1400px) { }
#media all and (max-width: 1024px) { }
#media only screen and (max-width: 768px) { }
#media only screen and (max-width: 480px) { }
#media only screen and (max-width: 320px) { }
Help me identify what is wrong.
#media all and (min-width: 1400px) {
}
#media all and (max-width: 1399px) and (min-width: 1024px) {
}
#media all and (max-width: 1023px) and (min-width: 768px) {
}
#media all and (max-width: 767px) and (min-width: 480px) {
}
#media all and (max-width: 479px) and (min-width: 320px) {
}
#media all and (max-width: 319px) {
}
This in <head></head>
<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.
I try to put some more information here, gathered from web.
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
If you have not defined css properties for different medias, how do you expect the browser to render it?
You need to for example:
#media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#header
{
width:100%
background:red;
}
}
I have came across a problem, whenever I make my browser smaller the text stays the same and it doesn't go smaller. How do I make the text go smaller when I the browser gets smaller?
Please visit http://jsfiddle.net/xiiJaMiiE/PjbHs/ for my website
.home {
font-family:apple;
position:relative;
font-size:25px;
color:black;
top:20%;
display:inline-block;
}
Thanks in advance!
As mention above you need to use media queries if you want to change your font-size (or any other CSS value based on browser / screen size)
Below is example based on Mobile Screen Size
// Work For All Other Screens Except the one which we redefine in bottom
.home {
font-family:apple;
position:relative;
font-size:25px;
color:black;
top:20%;
display:inline-block;
}
#media only screen
and (min-device-width : 320px)
and (max-device-width : 480px) {
.home {
font-size:20px;
}
}
You only need to define value which you want to change browser rest all values form above style and only change font-size to 20px on screen size 320px
Keep in mind you need to include libraries like https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond in your page to support older browsers
This css should work for you... simply adjust/delete the query breaks as needed and adjust the font size as well.
.home {
font-family:apple;
position:relative;
font-size:25px;
color:black;
top:20%;
display:inline-block;
}
#media all and (min-width: 1281px){
.home{font-size:25px;}
}
#media all and (min-width: 1025px) and (max-width: 1280px) {
.home{font-size:22px;}
}
#media all and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 1024px) {
.home{font-size:18px;}
}
#media all and (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 768px) {
.home{font-size:16px;}
}
#media all and (min-width: 321px) and (max-width: 480px) {
.home{font-size:14px;}
}
#media all and (max-width: 320px) {
.home{font-size:14px;}
}
I would highly recommend to not use px for font sizes, as each browser has a different standard font size to begin with. however there is an alternative which can give you the result you want across all browsers, old and new.
css:
#px {
font-size:25px; /*this was the size you want*/
}
#percent {
font-size:160%; /*this is what it is in % but give you the support for crossbrowser coding*/
}
incase you want to try it out here is the html to show you the difference
html:
<p id="px">HELLO</p>
<p id="percent">HELLO</p>
It's possible using viewport units but it does require a small amount of JS/JQ due to a minor bug.

causeRepaintsOn = $("p"); /* could include any text related tags */
$(window).resize(function() { causeRepaintsOn.css("z-index", 1); });
I am new to responsive design and i didn't get it properly till now. My question is that i need to write two media queries for 480*800 and 480*856 device for both landscape and portrait mode. Please explain it to me how it works ?
I have tried this query and it seems working for both the devices in landscape mode
#media only screen and (min-width:480px) and (max-width:854px) and (orientation:landscape)
#media all and (max-width: 480px) and (min-width: 480px) and (min-height:800px) and (max-height:856px)
{
body {
background-color:lime;
}
}
This would target both devices with the same css code.
Alternatively you could split it into two media queries and target each platform.
When I was new to responsive design I found this article very useful: http://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries/
You can try the following css styles:
media screen (max-width: 480px) and (max-height:856px) {
//code
}
media screen (max-width: 480px) and (max-height:800px) {
//code
}
media screen and (max-width: 856px) {
//code
}
media screen and (max-width: 800px){
//code
}
