Media query not running for small sizes

Question

Inside my panel I want to set all the text to center align when the page sizes to < 768, but my media query is not working to center the text. Here is my Fiddle

@@media all and (min-width : 768px) {
            .text-left {
                text-align: center;
            }
        }

UPDATE! - I set the media query to

@@media only screen and (max-width : 767px) {
        .text-left {
            text-align: center;
        }
    }

and when I open Chrome it works fine. But if I open IE 11 when a default window size of something around 900px the text is centered (not good). FYI - if I do a slight window resize the text re aligns back to the left! Is this a weird IE bug??

Answer 1

Have you set a viewport meta tag?

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

It this tag is not set, media queries will not work predictably.

Answer 2

For Small Device You can't use min-width.

Best way you can specifice all Min and Max.

@media all and (max-width: ***px) and (min-width: ***px){ }

More Example:

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    /* Tablets and Desktop */
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
    /* Phones */
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) and (orientation: portrait) {
    /* Portrait Phones */
}

Are you worried about all and only screen ?

Answer 3

It's not @@media, instead it's @media.

@media all and (min-width: 768px) {
  .text-left {
    text-align: center;
  }
}

Answer 4

@media all and (max-width : 768px) {
            .text-left {
                text-align: center;
            }
        }
