CSS3 Media Queries

In the present days if you are a web developer, while developing, you need to concern about all the different screen sizes available in the market. There are hell lot of devices which are different screen resolutions creating a big headache for the developers. To accomplish this task generally what developers do is, using JavaScript and render different style sheets for different screen resolutions. But, still it's will become very big code and files become very large size. To avoid this there are Media Queries in CSS3. You just need to write them in your css file they will be written like this.

/*SmartPhone (Portrait and Landscape)*/
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px){

your styling goes here
}

/*SmartPhones (Landscape)*/
@media only screen and (min-width:321px){

}

/*SmartPhones (Portrait)*/
@media only screen and (max-width:320px){
