<p>Testing to see if we can dynamically alter the viewport so as to allow people to "enable" media queries if they want, therefore seeing the large screen version.</p> | |
<p id="small">On a small screen device (< 600px), no media queries apply and this paragraph has a background color of blue. On a large screen device (> 600px), a media query kicks in and turns the background to red.</p> | |
<p><strong>You won't notice any difference from resizing your browser window. The link only has an effect if you're using a small-screen device.</strong></p> | |
