media-queries

This is my first attempt at utilizing a different CSS for mobile devices vs. regular screens. To do this, I'm using-

@media only screen 
    and (min-device-width : 320px) 
    and (max-device-width : 480px) {
        background: url('img/background.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
        background-size: cover;
        height: 100%;
}

However, it doesn't seem to be working (I can only test on iPhones). Any ideas as to why that may be? I've also tried @media all to no avail.

So basically, what am I doing wrong/is what I was… >>> More
Poll: CSS3 color transparency

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Many of you already know that you can express colors in your stylesheets like: color: #FFF; color: #FFFFFF; color: rgb(255,255,255); color: hsl(100%,100%,100%); and that you can use rgba() and hsla() to express color transparency. Do you think it would be a good idea to be able to express color… >>> More
