Why isnt the following media query being picked up on iPads in landscape mode?
@media all and (min-device-width: 1000px) {
css here
}
Or
@media all and (min-width: 1000px) {
css here
}
I want this css to target any browser which is 1000px wide or over, not just ipads. For this reason id rather work with the 2nd option of min-width not min-device-width if possible. Both versions work fine with firefox on my PC.
Thanks
The iPad is always reporting its width as 768px and its height as 1024px, so you have to find out how it is rotated with orientation
and use min-device-height:1000px
like so:
/* This will apply to all screens with a width 999px and smaller */
* {
color:green;
background-color:black;
}
/*
This will apply to all screens larger then 1000px wide
including landscape ipad but not portrait ipad.
*/
@media (orientation:landscape) and (min-device-height:1000px),
all and (min-width:1000px) {
* {
color:white;
background-color:red;
}
}
Results:
- iPad
- Portrait - green text - black background
- Landscape - white text - red background
- iPhone
- Portrait - green text - black background
- Landscape - green text - black background
- Computer (resolution)
- 1680x1050 - white text - red background
- 800x600 - green text - black background
Using chrome & firefox (does anyone even use IE anymore?)

/* iPad [portrait + landscape] */
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) {
.selector-01 { margin: 10px; }
.selector-02 { margin: 10px; }
.selector-03 { margin: 10px; }
}
It looks like the screen
attribute may be required.
If found this works great for the new iPad
@media screen and (orientation:landscape) and (min-device-height:1000px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 2) {
* {
color:white;
background-color:red;
}
}
For the record, I'm not sure why
@media (min-width: 1000px) {
/* css here */
}
didn't work for you. Possibly something changed with the iPad since this question was first posted?
Here's a working example:

Also be sure to include
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
in the head of your page.
I was trying to use a simple media query like this:
@media only screen and (min-width : 768px)
{css here}
but I wouldn't trigger on an iPad pro 10.5' I was testing on, I increase it to 900px (for portrait) and it worked just fine, I think because of the retina display you need to compensate, it may work fine on old iPads non-retina.
