Media queries, mobile first

Hi All,

Ive trying to understand, and get into the habit of creating mobile first sites.

However, I have millions of media queries! Is there a set guide for this?

For example mobiles = ,tablets = etc. Obviously they both differ with every model.

Thanks Lee

If you use Bootstrap, their guidlines are here: http://getbootstrap.com/css/ , scroll down to Media Queries.

Extra small devices Phones (<768px), Small devices Tablets (≥768px), Medium devices Desktops (≥992px), Large devices Desktops (≥1200px)

So you would create a query for tablets like this:

@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) { ... }

Since 'sm' in bootstrap means Small devices (tablets, 768px and up). Check out that link for all the information. Of course, for all this to work you have to include Bootstrap in your project first.
