The device-width
CSS @media
media feature can be used to apply styles based on the width of the rendering surface of the output device.
Syntax
The device-width
feature is specified as a <length>
value. It is a range feature, meaning that you can also use the prefixed min-device-width
and max-device-width
variants to query minimum and maximum values, respectively.
Example
This HTML applies a special stylesheet for devices that are narrower than 800 pixels.
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (max-device-width: 799px)" href="http://foo.bar.com/narrow-styles.css" />
