If I do
it looks good on my laptop but not my phone.
Is there a way to have it adjust according to the size of the device being used?
Thank you

Unfortunately, chrome web inspector tools are not entirely reliable for evaluating iPhone media queries for Safari.

my example would be an iPad that has a 1200px screen I don’t want it to show the desktop design, but at the same time desktop screens at 1200px should still work with the desktop look.

This might be way too late. But for anyone that might find this helpful…
If you encounter this issue, what I found works best is if you put your @media (min-width: …) before your @media (max-width: …) it does not override it.

For example, a resolution of 2532×1170 could exist for a smartphone that is 5″ by 2.5″, or for a mini tablet that is 7″ by 3.5″, which could also be the dimensions of a large smartphone. Or a tablet that is 10″ by 5″. Knowing the physical size of the device would be helpful to determine the size of images to display. For a smartphone, you may want to use half the screen for the image, but for a tablet you may want to use a fourth of the screen.

I have two questions.

Are rem units for font-size recommended with media queries? Or are other unit types better (like px) with media queries?
What are the “gotchas” (if any) for offloading media queries to their own external style sheet from an already lengthy style sheet?

Thanks again!

Check the browsers they are using – you’re most likely testing in Chrome.

However we are hearing from some users that the site is not responsive on some mobile devices: HTC’s, Window’s phones, etc.

When I test in an emulator the devices highlighted the site looks fine, but still for some devices it seems not to work.

Any ideas?

I noticed you’ve updated the layout which helps tremendously but it would be awesome to use my wacom pen to scroll without crying.

Hey there! I’d suggest writing all of your styles as though they are mobile styles. Then, as you need additional styling for larger screens, use a media query to target those styles.

Here’s an overgeneralized example:

body {
  background: #f8a100;
  font-size: 16px;
}

@media (min-width: 700px) {
  body {
    font-size: 18px;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1000px) {
  body {
    font-size: 20px;
  }
}
