4,684 PointsMedia query for mobile isn't working properly
Hi there,
i just came up with a idea to try my website on my mobile device HTC one S which has screen resolution of 540x960 and unfortunately my web site didn't behave as expected. It shows the desktop/tablet version of the page. I presumed webpage on my device will fall into 480-660px gap but instead it behaves as 660+(in both vertical and horizontal mode). As a concequence, the header looks awful aswell (small letters as it it was 1600px screen). Has anyone encountered this kind of problem and could help me sort it out?
EDIT:
@media screen and (min-width: 480px){
body{
background: green;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 660px){
body{
background: navy;
}
}
here's how it looks like on my 540x960:
regards, Kristupas Repecka

If you are using workspace a new and easy way to show us your code is called snapshot. Follow this link to see how it works.
Good luck with your learning.

4,684 PointsThanks, Luke. The problem was I tried to get ahead of myself a bit too much :) It was explained in the very next video. Got a bit confused when at the start of 8 - 1 video Nick shows the page on his mobile device looking the way as it should be.
