Detecting browser width with media query using jQuery

I am trying to implement a precise way of figuring out the user's browser width based on a media query. For example, I have an element div called #check_screen initially it'll be displayed as a block element. If the browser width is < 420px, then #check_screen will have a display: none property. This is what I have tried so far:

HTML 

<div id='check_screen'></div>

CSS

#check_screen{
    display: block;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 420px){
    #check_screen{
        display: none;
    }
}

jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {
    // run test on initial page load
    checkSize();

    // run test on resize of the window
    $(window).resize(checkSize);
});

//Function to the css rule
function checkSize(){
    if ($("#check_screen").css("display") == "none" ){
        console.log("hello");
    }
}

For some reason, it is not working correctly. When I resize the screen to < 420px, the message is not displayed to the console. I have also tried using the :visible jQuery selector, but that does not work either. I am using Chrome as my browser.

I think you have a syntax error: $(window).resize(checkSize); should be 

$(window).resize(function(){
    checkSize();
});

That correction worked for me with no other changes.

Assign unvisible div and set its color to black.

If resized, change its color to green.

Javascript would be like

var check = $("element").css("background-color");

if(check == "black" {
}

else if...
