Media Queries and new iPad

HTML & CSS
1

@media only screen
and (min-device-width :1536px)
and (max-device-width : 2048px)
and (orientation : landscape) {

Is the above the correct way to target the new iPad? It doesn’t seem to work for me. The values under it are different for portrait and landscape, yet they both show the same screen layout when rotated either way (2 cols for for portrait - which is correct, and 2 cols instead of 3 for landscape - which is incorrect).

This page is using responsive web design. Works perfectly on desktop and iPhone (3 columns collapse into 2 on the desktop, then onto 1 on the iPhone:

I solved the problem by NOT using media queries for those dimensions at all.

Glad you fixed it and sorry we were too late to help.

Sometimes doing nothing is the best approach :slight_smile:

Media queries are good but is getting rather too complex to cater for millions of devices and orientations and display density especially as the goal posts are changing daily. A simpler more fluid design is often a better option.
