Media screen doesn't change with browser's resolution - html

I'm working with Media screens for the first time and They don't quite seem to be working the way they're supposed too....
#media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
all the css stylings within here and it shows up as this as it's supposed to.
#media only screen and (max-width : 321px) {
all css stylings that i place in here don't apply to the page when the width goes beyond 321 px. which isn't supposed to happen.... for example if i were to change any text color nothing would end up changing.
thanks in advance for any help :)

The CSS you write in this media query will be applied to the screen which has width less than 321px;
#media only screen and (max-width : 321px) {
if you want to apply the same CSS when you resize it beyond 321px then you need to increase the width as per your requirements -
#media screen and (max-width: 700px){
You need to write Media Query to a class or element as -
#media screen and (max-width: 700px){
body{
font-size:20px;
color:red;
}
}

Change image position depending on screen resolution

I have recently been learning about responsive web design. What I am trying to achieve is presented on the images below, one is for how the website should look like on desktop, and the other one is for mobiles devices.
So as you can see, there are four boxes. After clicking the box, in the textbox you will see some text referring to that box. What I have been thinking about is how to deal with this layout. Is it just the Media Queries and different CSS styling depending on the screen resolution? Or should i somehow (jquery?) switch the elements order in the DOM? Im not sure how to handle this. Thanks for any advice!
To expand on #D.Fraga's comment, the css #media rule could be used as follows:
#media screen and (min-width: 480px)
/* css for large device */
/* */
}
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
/* css for small device */
/* */
}
You have 2 sets of css, one for rendering larger devices, the other for smaller.
You may also considering using javascript screen.width with some sort of framework (i.e. angularjs) to dynamically render DOM elements based on screen size (though I highly recommend the former).
This can be solved with css only:
#media (max-width: 420px){
/* Your Code */
}
Study #media of CSS
If you use these media queries for different screen views, maybe your problem will be solved.
Media query for large devices like laptops, desktops with screen size 1025px to 1280px
#media (min-width: 1025px) and (max-width: 1280px) {
//Your css here
}
Media query for tablets, mobile (Landscape Layout) with screen size 481px to 767px
#media (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 767px) {
//Your css here
}
Media query for smartphone mobile (Portrait Layout) with screen size 320px to 479px
#media (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 480px) {
// Your css here
}

Custom CSS Media Query conditions

I want to change some CSS properties of an element based upon the width of its parent element for responsive design.
For example,
The parent element will have a minimum width of 200px and will stretch to at max 500px regardless of the screen size/width. I want to set a fixed width to its children elements based on the width of its parent container.
I am looking for no Javascript solution for this. +1 if it can be somehow implemented using custom media query.
Please advise.
Try It Once
#media screen and (min-width: 200px) and (max-width: 499px) {
//styles here
}
#media screen and (min-width: 500px) and (max-width: 1024) {
//styles here
}
use Media query
#media only screen and (min-width : 200px) {
}
#media only screen and (min-width : 500px) {
}

media queries max width 320px issue

I have a problem with media queries in a 320px width.
I tried the next codes to set the query but browsers don't recognise it, so it doesn't work correctly:
1- #media only screen and (min-width: 320px) {
2- #media (min-width:320 px) and (max-width:480 px)
3- #media (max-width: 320px){
None of them work for me. What am I doing wrong?
THANKS A LOT!
Try
#media only screen and (min-width:3.33%){
.yourClass{
width : 20%;
}
}
And its better that u use % instead of px

bootstrap Media Query not working

With twitter bootstrap i applied
#media only screen and (min-width : 768px){
}
but this media query is working on all other width values too, such as 992px & 1200px.
Any solution?
1)Please check whether you have included the meta tag in the head section of your HTML document as
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
If this line is not present then none of your media query would work.
2) If you override bootstrap break points in your style sheet make sure your stylesheet is linked to your application properly.
3)understanding how min-width and max-width works will help you. If you are trying some wrong combinations, results may be weird :)
#media (min-width:480px) {}
The styles inside this media query would apply only if your viewport is minimum 480px or wider than that.
#media (max-width:767px){}
The styles inside this media query would apply to your viewport only upto 767px. For any resolution higher than 767px our styles won't be applied.
#media screen
This tells that this particular styles are only applicable to screen and not for print,projection or handheld. So #media screen or #media only screen wouldn't harm your media queries much.
These are some of my tips to troubleshoot media queries. Hope this would help you resolve your issue.
Change media Query to
#media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 900px) {
}
Or any size between you want.
For more Details Refer This link.
You can use max-width. when screen regulation is maximum 992px, then it will work.
#media only screen and (max-width : 992px){
/*your styles for Tab device*/
}
You can use max-width. when screen regulation is maximum 767px, then it will work.
#media only screen and (max-width : 767px){
/*your styles for mobile device*/
}
Got it working now.
Mobile with max only then parts from to and above 1200 is reading default.
#media (max-width: 640px) {
}
#media (min-width:640px) and (max-width: 768px) {
}
#media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width:992px){
}
#media (min-width: 992px) and (max-width:1200px) {
}
i hope this may work for you
Please Define it in your style.css not in bootstrap
#media (min-width:768px)
{
}

#media configuring for high res / ipad / iphone

I've literally wasted the entire day trying to figure this out.
When I resize my browser to anything of lesser width than 778px, the screen goes black. (any height works, just width doesn't configure)
What i would like to do is add a mobile #media setting that actually displays what I currently have!
#media only screen
and (min-device-width : 320px)
and (max-device-width : 480px) {
/* Styles */
}
any ideas what's wrong with my code? I've been rain-man'ing through my css..
Code: http://jsfiddle.net/jwrg5/
Much appreciated!
Here is a clinical example for applying media queries (Fiddle):
#media (max-width: 480px) {
body {
background: red;
}
}
#media (min-width: 481px) {
body {
background: blue;
}
}
The stylesheet functions as follows:
When your viewport is wider than 480 pixels, blue background is rendered
Narrower viewports are rendered red.
Note that there is a difference between using max-width and max-device-width. The latter gives you the maximum device width, which does not allow you to as easily test your queries by resizing your browser window.
