<style type="text/css">
/* default styles here for older browsers.

@media only screen and (min-width: 1440px) {

@media only screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) and (orientation:portrait) {
/* For portrait layouts only */
}
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) and (orientation:landscape) {
/* For landscape layouts only */
}
</style>
The underlying issue is using max-device-width
vs plain old max-width
.
Using the “device” keyword targets physical dimension of the screen, not the width of the browser window.
For example:
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
/* STYLES HERE for DEVICES with physical max-screen width of 480px */
}
Versus
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
/* STYLES HERE for BROWSER WINDOWS with a max-width of 480px.
This will work on desktops when the window is narrowed. */
}
If website on small devices behavior like desktop screen then you have to put this meta tag into header before
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
For media queries you can set this as
this will cover your all mobile/cellphone widths
@media only screen and (min-width: 200px) and (max-width: 767px) {
//Put your CSS here for 200px to 767px width devices (cover all width between 200px to 767px //
}
For iPad and iPad pro you have to use
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {
//Put your CSS here for 768px to 1024px width devices(covers all width between 768px to 1024px //
}
If you want to add css for Landscape mode you can add this
and (orientation : landscape)
@media only screen and (min-width: 200px) and (max-width: 767px) and (orientation : portrait) {
//Put your CSS here for 200px to 767px width devices (cover all mobile portrait width //
}
The correct value for the content
attribute should include initial-scale
instead:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to include both min and max width for responsiveness in the browser, then you can use the following:
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 992px){...}
@media (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {...}
