CSS Media Queries

Used before category names. CSS

Media Queries

Media queries are useful when you want to modify your site or app depending on a device’s general type (such as print vs. screen) or specific characteristics and parameters (such as screen resolution or browser viewport width).

Media queries are used for the following:

  • To conditionally apply styles with the CSS @media and @import at-rules.
  • To target specific media for the <style>, <link>, <source>, and other HTML elements with the media= attribute.
  • To test and monitor media states using the Window.matchMedia() and MediaQueryList.addListener() JavaScript methods.

CSS3 Media Types: all, print, screen, speech
