When checking my site on a mobile device (iPhone) it is clear that it is still loading the non mobile stylesheet. Here is the code in the header, can someone tell me whats wrong?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" href="styles_mobile.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/onclick.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
if (screen && screen.width > 480)
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jqFancyTransitions.js"><\/script>');
</script>
Any reason why this is not using the "styles_mobile.css" as is intended?
In any response please be aware that I have limited knowledge of javascript
I think it needs a meta viewport tag:
http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/09/combining_meta.html
This means use the device width, not the width that the browser in the device reports, which is bigger.
Technically, to do media queries by the book you need to add a "media" attribute to the element, or add #media entries to your CSS.

I have html page that loads different css, depending on screen width (targeting pc, tablets and phones):
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="css/style.css" >
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width: 1200px)" href="css/desktop-style.css" >
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 1199px)" href="css/tablet-style.css" >
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width: 100px) and (max-width: 768px)" href="css/phone-style.css" >
I heavily depend on jQuery, and functions should be chosen depending on active css. Is there a way in JavaScript of jQuery to determinate which css is active?
Or should I use jQuery to determinate browser width, and make further functions depending on width output?
Thank you.
You can check if this thread helps.
You can also think of using media queries inside a css file and load the same file for different screen variants.
I recommend you to use media query but if you want a JavaScript solution, can do this with jQuery like this:
var window = $(window).width();
var css = $('#css');
if(window > 100 && window < 768){
css.attr('href','css/desktop-style.css')
} else if(window > 769 && window < 1199){
css.attr('href','css/tablet-style.css')
} else if(window > 1200){
css.attr('href','css/phone-style.css')
}
<link id="css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" >
Note: You can change resolutions as you want, I'm not sure it's correct for detect mobile tablet or etc.
Warning: Be aware! this method a little bad for SEO things, google and etc not read your responsive styles.
It is probably wiser to check the widh of the device. But I think you could figure out which css is used, by this little 'hack'. In each css you give a nonsense property to a hidden element.
In the example I gave #canary the animation name first-css.
In a different css file you could write
#canary {animation-name: second-css; display: none}
You could give a unique property to a certain element in each css file. JQuery could check that property.
$(function() {
whichcss=$("#canary").css("animation-name");
$("#output").text(whichcss);
})
#canary {animation-name: first-css; display: none}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p id="canary"></p>
<p id="output"></p>
To be extra clear. In your css files you should include th name of the css file in this way:
in desktop-style.css:
#canary {animation-name: desktop-css; display: none}
in tablet-style.css:
#canary {animation-name: tablet-css; display: none}
in phone-style.css:
#canary {animation-name: phone-css; display: none}
I have an issue with yepnope that is driving me crazy, and I spent a good amount of time searching for the answer with no luck.
First, I am using device.js to detect screen size, it will throw an desktop class in the tag if it detects a desktop. On the desktop I want another script to be loaded which will then give functions to a certain class (on mobile devices, the script will not load and the certain classes will remain static.)
However, when yupnope executes, it throws my script on TOP of all the other scripts in my head tag and will not execute and run. I know the script works because I manually put it in on the bottom of my other scripts. My question is how can I make yepnope load the script last instead of putting it on the very top of the other scripts? I have a nagging feeling that this is where a callback comes in but I am still trying to get ahold of javascript!
this is my yepnope code:
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($('.desktop').length !=0) {
yepnope({
load: "js/jquery.malihu.PageScroll2id.js",
});
};
});
This is my html:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/modernizr.custom.js"></script>
<link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
<link href="css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
<link href="css/global.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/device.js"></script>
<script src="js/fixedonlater.js"></script>
<script src="js/scripts.js"></script>
The yepnope condition is in the file scripts.js which executes last but still puts the jquery.malihu.PageScroll2id.js script that is called on top which is wrong order then as shown in this code:
<script src="js/jquery.malihu.PageScroll2id.js"></script> //script on top = BAD!!
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/modernizr.custom.js"></script>
<link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
<link href="css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
<link href="css/global.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/device.js"></script>
<script src="js/fixedonlater.js"></script>
<script src="js/scripts.js"></script>
I cannot find info anywhere on exactly how to setup respond.js.
I unzipped into htdocs - is this correct? Or do I just need respond.min.js in htdocs?
Then simply reference the file like this...
<script src="respond.min.js"></script>
Currently, I have this in my head section, have tried before and after my media queries, yet NO stylesheet is used.
Is there a tutorial anyhwere on exactly how to set up resonse.js, as I have no idea if I am doing something wrong or whether there is another problem.
Any help would be much appreciated, my site is FINALLY finished yet I don;t want it to go live without media queries and currently if I use media queries, no stylseheet is loaded at all in IE8.
Thanks
This is my current code;
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<script src="http://localhost/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-device-width:600px) and (max-device-width:1024px)" href="http://localhost/oldScreen.css">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-device-width:1025px)" href="http://localhost/home.css">
<title>Eastbourne Netball League[Home] </title>
</head>
Alright, since the file is loaded, the problem has to come from one of these 2 points:
From the documentation:
Craft your CSS with min/max-width media queries to adapt your layout from mobile (first) all the way up to desktop
#media screen and (min-width: 480px){
...styles for 480px and up go here
}
Reference the respond.min.js script (1kb min/gzipped) after all of your CSS (the earlier it runs, the greater chance IE users will not see a flash of un-media'd content)
My guess is the second point :)
I hope it helps.
[edit]
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-width:600px) and (max-width:1024px)" href="http://localhost/oldScreen.css">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-width:1025px)" href="http://localhost/home.css">
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<script src="http://localhost/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

</head>
If this doesn't work, put it this way inside your CSS file:
#media {min-width:600px) and (max-width:1024px) {
/* your css here */
}
#media {min-width:1025px) {
/* your css here */
}
Therefore, you can even put all your CSS in the same file
My .htaccess file is writing a "smart" cookie. If my page reads this cookie it will write a div. Then my mobile CSS file loads only if the user's on an iPhone or iPod.
My question is, how can I edit this code (below) to load the mobile CSS file if the user's on an Android?
Here's my page and code:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=yes" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/mobile.css" media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)" />
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.screen.width > 640){document.write('<meta name="viewport" content="width=980, user-scalable=yes" />')}
if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i))){document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/mobile.css" media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)" />')}
</script>
You should just be able to add
|| (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i))
to the second if statement, so
if( (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) ||
(navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)) ||
(navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)) )
Here you goes :)

This snippet will do it:
navigator.userAgent.match(/android/)
I am trying to load my print.css but it does not seem to be loading. it work Fine in FF and Safari but the problem is only in IE.
I have the regular external css for the page inbetween the head tags
And when the user click on the print link . it loads the print css .
<div class="linkPrint">
<a target="_blank" href="?format=print">Print</a>
</div>
var format = getUrlParam('format');
if (format == 'print') {
$('head').append('<link href="/theme/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />');
}
But,in IE it load the standard css instead of the print.css.
How do can this be fixed for IE6?
Thanks
You can have the print CSS and your screen CSS both loaded at the same time on the page without them interfering with each other - you need to specify the media attribute on the link tag:
<link href="/theme/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
<link href="/theme/screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
No need to go through the javascript trickery.
As for IE6 - it does support this, as can be seen on the comparison list on this page.
Try removing the <link> to the other css file when you append the print.css
try with document.write,
document.write('<link href="/theme/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />');
