Hi Bono, and welcome to the list! I'm honored! ;-)

What happened in the case I mentioned was that we had a media query
for max-device-width of 1024, intended for iPad. When a user hit this
site on a laptop, lets say, that had the resolution set to 1024, they
got the iPad queries. And thus were not seeing things that a desktop
user should see. Did we not do something right in setting up the media
query?

We used:
@media screen and (max-device-width: 1024px) and
(orientation:portrait){...styles hiding content ...}
@media screen and (max-device-width: 1024px) and
(orientation:landscape){...styles hiding content ...}

I could recreate the above problem in my office...

Thanks David.
