2013-08-29 Thread John A. Johnson
I am trying to get solid on basic media queries with the simple site, link below. When narrow the viewport to tablet which I have set at max-width:768px, the desktop styles vanish, but tablet styles don't take their place. I've been wracking my brain over this and I am not seeing the problem.

Might be simpler to not have an MQ around your desktop since in this case it's your base. And just make adjustments in the other MQs. No need to repeat everything. — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 7:01 PM, John A. Johnson j...@coffeeonmars.com wrote: OK..I may have

I would not be able to sleep tonight if I didn't bring up 'mobile first' again. It's been my experience with both methods, that it's easier to go from mobile up and usually requires less CSS. I've had some break point sheets with only a few lines of CSS. I usually only use min-width MQs. Just a
