When using CSS
, I can properly align my elements using css with Chrome
. In chrome inspector-> ipad view, all looks as they should be. But when I test it on actual iPad, some CSS
are not applied. I've found ipad specific CSS
media queries as follows,
** /* Safari 7.1+ */ **
_::-webkit-full-page-media, _:future, :root .my-class {
padding-right: 0;
}
**/* Safari 10.1+ */**
@media not all and (min-resolution:.001dpcm) { @media
{
.my-class {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
}}
**/* Safari 6.1-10.0*/**
@media screen and (min-color-index:0)
and(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { @media
{
.my_class {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
}}
Problem is, while they're working fine with portrait mode, There is no specified way for me to apply CSS
into landscape mode. How can I use media queries for landscape mode in real iPad device/safari on iOS? Without affecting any other browser?
I'm not looking for standard media queries like,
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px)
and (orientation : portrait) { /* STYLES */ }
Landscape Mode
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px)
and (orientation : landscape) { /* STYLES */}
What you are looking for cannot be achieved with media queries alone, you must use Javascript to find an Ipad Safari user agent:
function isiPad() {
return (
(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf(/iPad/i) > -1)
);
}
Using this Javascript, you can detect if the device is an Ipad, and apply a class on the body
- using Jquery in the following example:
if (isIpad) {
$('body').addClass('isIpad');
}
Afterwards, write your media queries as suggested above:
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px)
and (orientation : landscape) {
.isiPad .myclass {
/*styles*/
}
}
Although I can see why an iPad differentiation is needed, I can't understand why a Safari differentiation is - so, a user would visit the same webpage/webapp with Safari and see something different compared to Chrome or Opera or a different browser? :/ UX-wise doesn't sound right.
