by Posted on

Media queries are mainly for responsive web design. Media queries are css3 conditional statement used to adapt design on different screens. It is similar to if..else conditions. If you want to create response design with good user experience then you must have to code for multiple devices that’s why you should aware about media queries for all the common devices your user’s are using to access your website so they feel good user experience will increase returning traffic on your website. CSS Media queries are supported in Internet Explorer (IE) 9+, Firefox 3.5+, Safari 3+, Opera 7+, as well as on most modern smartphones and other screen-based devices. Although older versions of IE don’t support media queries.
