Could you share your code, It would be easier for us to help you :) Because without it, I can't help much on my side. At least I have no idea at the moment.

Hi Code Pack, I downloaded your project, and I 've just looked at it. On my side, your page has the behaviour It should have with the media queries you put. If I resize the window, styles are applied, I don't need to refresh at all my browser.

I've checked under Firefox & Chromium, It just works fine... I as well added some styles and It works...

Have you tried with another browser ?

Ok, I use Linux Mint, so what I have is Chromium and not Chrome, and It works perfectly. I can't really check with chrome. It might sound stupid but check if your browser is up to date, I saw nothing wrong with what coded...
