Regla CSS @media
La regla at @media especifica un conjunto de estilos que se aplican solo a ciertos tipos de medios.
Las consultas de medios son una técnica popular para ofrecer un diseño web adaptable a escritorios, portátiles, tabletas y teléfonos móviles.
Además de los tipos de medios, existen las características de medios, que tienen nombres y aceptan ciertos valores como las propiedades. Sin embargo, se usan para comprobar condiciones dentro de las consultas de medios en lugar de dar estilo directamente a los elementos.
Las consultas de medios se usan para comprobar lo siguiente:
- el ancho y el alto del viewport
- la orientación
- la resolución
En JavaScript, la interfaz CSSMediaRule representa una sola regla @media y puede usarse para acceder a las reglas creadas con @media.
Sintaxis
