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...



I think that being the case [ desktop gets version "a" while portrait/landscape tablets and mobile handsets gets version "b" you may need a different address for each.

a/ desktop gets: http://bono4u2.html .[html extension] with a pointing link to the tablet/handset address b/ portrait/landscape tablets as well as mobile handsets and mobile handsets version : http://bono4u2.mobi [.mobi extension] with a pointing link to the desktop address

There are obvious disadvantages to this imo but it is done and for some large sites the only practical way to solve the problem. I thought there might be a way to handle it from one address with browser sniffing/programming but that -- if possible -- is off-topic hereabout.

Either way, we remain "With Or Without You."

Best,
