4,860 PointsHelp with Media Queries
Hey I have problem with media queries, I have done everything correctly on my website as I was following videos. I checked website on android and it doesn't display as it is suppose to. Although when I resize the browser, it does change the website.
Here's what I have:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
Media queries are at the bottom of main css file as they are suppose to be.
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) { }
Any Ideas?

Treehouse TeacherIt looks like you're missing your viewport meta tag: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

content="width=device-width"
Is there something like max-device-width? I want to target all screen sizes up to about 800px
and if so? how do I write it?

Treehouse TeacherHi Chase,
only should still work –– I use it because it's useful for preventing older browsers that don't support media queries from applying all the styles.
