So i have run into something interesting. I like to have my css nice and neat and only want one reference of a style sheet in the <head> so to accomplish this i created a master css file that uses #import to bring in the rest of the style sheets. The problem I'm running into is that when you do this for some reason css media queries that use class selectors do not work but if you use ids it does... What gives?
The HTML
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<meta content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0' name='viewport' />
<title>Some page</title>
<link href=master.css rel=stylesheet>
</head>
The master.css
#import url(css/some.css);
#import url(css/somemore.css);
#import url(css/media.css)
The media.css
/* This works */
#media all and (max-width: 380px) {
#id1, #id2 {
width: 88%;
}
}
/* This doesn't */
#media all and (max-width: 380px) {
.class1 {
width: 88%;
}
}
I figured out why it was doing it my media queries were before my class in the style sheet...
/* This doesn't work */
#media all and (max-width: 380px) {
.class1 {
width: 88%;
}
}
.class1 {
width: 300px;
}
.
/* This works */
.class1 {
width: 300px;
}
#media all and (max-width: 380px) {
.class1 {
width: 88%;
}
}
Your last css rule is overriding previous one. The #media tag act like an if. So in your /*doesnt work*/ one what it basically saying is
.class1 {/*This is your doesnt work code*/
width: 88%;
}
.class1 {
width: 300px;
}
Change the order of your universal code and media tags or use !important to solve this.

In my html code below i added a divider which i want the background color to change the blue when it reaches a certain pixel width. Right now my code is having no effect. I want it to the divider to change to blue. How can i get this to work? The code in question is #media (min-width: 551px) {
div { background-color: Blue }
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
div.example {
background-color: lightgrey;
padding: 20px;
}
#media (max-width: 550px) {
p { font-size: 16px; }
}
#media (min-width: 551px) {
p { font-size: 32px; }
}
#media (min-width: 551px) {
div { background-color: Blue }
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="example">Example DIV.</div>
</body>
</html>
I'm assuming you want the large screen bg color to be lightgrey and the small screen (less than 551px) color to be blue?
If that is the case, you need to specify *max-width on the media query. I would also make sure you call out the div by class so you aren't targeting all your divs.
Try this code.
If I have the colors reversed, you can just switch them.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
div.example {
background-color: lightgrey;
padding: 20px;
}
#media (max-width: 550px) {
p { font-size: 16px; }
div.example { background-color: blue }
}
#media (min-width: 551px) {
p { font-size: 32px; }
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="example">Example DIV.</div>
</body>
</html>
You need to add !important to force the CSS according to the screen resolution.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
div.example {
background-color: lightgrey;
padding: 20px;
}
#media (max-width: 550px) {
p {
font-size: 16px; !important
}
}
#media (min-width: 551px) {
p {
font-size: 32px; !important
}
}
#media (min-width: 551px) {
div {
background-color: Blue !important
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="example"><p>Example DIV.</p></div>
</body>
There are two reasons this isn't working the way you want it to currently.
First, a style declared outside of a media query has higher "importance" than a style declared inside the media query. In order to combat that, you need to use !important after the media query style.
Second, because you are using a more general object name for the media query, it won't have as much hierarchy once again. Instead of using div, you need to use the same div.example inside the media query.
So the two solutions are either:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
div.example {
padding: 20px; /* removed the bgcolor here... see below*/
}
#media (max-width: 550px) {
div.example {
background-color: lightgrey; /*option 1: move the gray state into a media query, making it the same level of importance as the blue state*/
}
p { font-size: 16px; }
}
#media (min-width: 551px) {
p { font-size: 32px; }
div.example { background-color: blue} /*option 2: use the same specificity of naming inside the media query.*/
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="example">Example DIV.</div>
</body>
</html>
Below is the script within my head tag. The min-width:500 is working properly but the immediate next query max-width:499px doesn't seem to work, I tried it with and without screen and and even adding it in styles.css stylesheet didn't work. I'm trying it just on my screen, and it is supposed to work. Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
h2 {
color: orangered;
text-align: center;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 500px) {
body{
color:greenyellow;
background-color: black;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 499px) {
body {
color:pink;
background-color: navy;
}
}
</style>
<link rel = "stylesheet" href = "styles.css">
Can anyone tell why is my VSCode not able to predict mid-width or max-width but accepts it while writing.
I Checked your code in VS Code, it is working fine for Background color but it is not changing color of text(H2 tag), i don't think there is any problem with VS Code you can do this to change text color.
When you are writing media query you are changing background color and text in body, but if you are using h2 tag then it is not working so you should write specific code for h2
Try below code....
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
h2 {
color: orangered;
text-align: center;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 500px) {
h2 {
color: green;
}
body {
background-color: black;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 499px) {
h2 {
color: pink;
}
body {
background-color: navy;
}
}
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>

i want to give css for mobile view and tablet view. i have created media tag and wrote the code but its not working i have wrote
at top of the phtml file and wrote class name for which i have give css like below
<code>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0"> //at top
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 1000px)
{.numbertext
{
font-size: 50px;
color: red;
}
}
</code>
please help me how should i write to get correct output
wrapp your media queries inside the style tag.
<style type="text/css">
#media screen and (max-width: 1000px){
.yourClass{
}
}
</style>
Probably you are missing a style tag.
It should be like this :
<style>
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 1000px)
{
.numbertext
{
font-size: 50px;
color: red;
}
}
</style>
I would normally be able to solve simple CSS problems with just some trial and error (or so I thought). But I've been trying this all day with no luck. At this point I am not sure what to do.
I am trying to center a picture at the top of my page. I am also using a template, and by default there is text there. I figured I could just replace the title text with an image and it would be fine. I was wrong.
To give a better idea of what I am doing, here is a picture of the github template. The part I am referring to is "Sample Title": https://gyazo.com/89d3c00988ce270845b0fe67b55ee5f3
The code for the header looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-us">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Sample Title by Somebody</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheets/normalize.css" media="screen">
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheets/stylesheet.css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheets/github-light.css" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
<section class="page-header">
<h1 class="project-name">Sample Title</h1>
<h2 class="project-tagline"></h2>
View on GitHub
Download .zip
Download .tar.gz
</section>
The stylesheet for the Header portion looks like this (the project-name portions seemed to be related to the Sample Title part though):
.page-header {
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
background-color: #159957;
background-image: linear-gradient(120deg, #155799, #159957); }
#media screen and (min-width: 64em) {
.page-header {
padding: 5rem 6rem; } }
#media screen and (min-width: 42em) and (max-width: 64em) {
.page-header {
padding: 3rem 4rem; } }
#media screen and (max-width: 42em) {
.page-header {
padding: 2rem 1rem; } }
.project-name {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0.1rem; }
#media screen and (min-width: 64em) {
.project-name {
font-size: 3.25rem; } }
#media screen and (min-width: 42em) and (max-width: 64em) {
.project-name {
font-size: 2.25rem; } }
#media screen and (max-width: 42em) {
.project-name {
font-size: 1.75rem; } }
.project-tagline {
margin-bottom: 2rem;
font-weight: normal;
opacity: 0.7; }
#media screen and (min-width: 64em) {
.project-tagline {
font-size: 1.25rem; } }
#media screen and (min-width: 42em) and (max-width: 64em) {
.project-tagline {
font-size: 1.15rem; } }
I have tried everything that I know of to try to center the picture (a small logo) where the Sample Title text was with no luck. I've tried doing margins with 50% and auto, absolute positions, and changing the float. I've tried editing the proeject-name stylesheet info, as well as giving the picture an ID and editing it that way. It always ends up in some odd position and I cannot get it to work. Any help would be greatly appriecated!
you should add your image to your source like this:
<h1 class="project-name">
<img src="http://c3154802.r2.cf0.rackcdn.com/ssplogo.jpg"/>
</h1>
no extra css are needed. it will center your image at the top of page.
PS
The src attribute should contain a valid URL. Since space characters are not allowed in URLs, you have to encode them.
This is not currect:
<img id="Statslogo" src="assets/Stats Logo2.png" width="640" height="200"/>
Currect Version:
<img id="Statslogo" src="assets/Stats%20Logo2.png" width="640" height="200"/>
I'm in the learning process of making my site responsive. I'm having this issue with Opera working with a specific div under #media query to "display-none". Works in all the newer browsers except Opera. Am I missing something?
CSS:
#media only screen and (max-width: 400px) {
body {
font-size: 75%;
}
#column2, #name {
display: none;
}
#-o-viewport {
width: device-width;
height: device-height;
max-zoom: 2;
min-zoom: 0.5;
}
}
Actual DIV I'm trying to hide in my HTML:
<div id="column2">
<h1 id="name">P U N K I E D E S I G N S</h1></div></div>
Viewport settings:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes">
Change your media query to this
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 400px) {
body {
font-size: 75%;
}
#column2, #name {
display: none;
}
}
It behaves in the same way on Opera Mini as on other browsers – so by using media queries and targeting the device capabilities it caters for all.
