Hello, I am looking for help. I have a div and would like it to be 75% of page width until it gets to the size of 980px and it will not get any bigger?
Thanks

4,467 PointsI agree to the previous answer but also take in consideration that sometimes you might want to you use only in your media query as well.
@media only screen and (max-width:980px){
.div_class{
width: 75%
}
}
When using only, you're avoiding the misinterpretation caused by browsers lacking proper support for CSS3. Where they will recognize the first word that comes after media, which would be "screen" and ignore the rest of the rule. Thus applying the styles to whatever screen size. Only prevents this interpretation, by that if media = "only" is taken into interpretation, it has no meaning thus ignoring all styles under it. When it comes to modern browsers with proper support to media queries, both rules have the same meaning and will result in applying the style when screen size is no wider than 980px.
