CSS @media query doesn't work with meta tag

Question

I am having some issues changing the layout of my content with the use of @media queries. I have the following meta in the head,

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

And one of my queries looks like this:

@media all and (min-width: 768px) {
  .navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a {
    background-color: #f06449;
    color: #fff;
  }
  .centerIcon .fa-arrow-down {
    display: none;
  }
}

I have tried changing the query to use "screen" instead of the current, "all", but it has no affect. The actual color of the code starting with @media is white (ofc this depends on what text editor you have), but I suspect that the code is overwritten by something else, could this be accurate?

Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can try this again:

Head

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

CSS

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
// something you want

}

Answer 2

You obviously understood something wrong.

Here is a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/dc327qq1/

Note this line:

@media all and (max-width: 768px) {

I changed it from min to max-width. Also why do you have these " ` "?
