Enquire.js is a Javascipt that re-creates CSS media queries for Javascripts. This means you can wrap your Javascripts in Media Queries. (Just like you would wrap CSS in Media Queries).

I'm not quite sure how to use it. This tutorial says this:

enquire.register("max-width: 960px", function() {
  // put your code here
});

However, when I follow that, my code stops working.

Here is an example of some Jquery Tabs without Enquire.JS. It works fine.

Here are the same tabs, but with Enquire.JS added. Now it stops working.

I've experimented with different variations of the code, but none of them work. What am I doing wrong?

I think you might have place the Jquery Tab code in a separate file and then link to that file from within Enquire.Js, but I'm not sure how you would do that. (Although it would be handy to know as I'd imagine it would let you keep your scripts be more reusable).

PS. This is not a criticism of Enquire.Js. I know that the problem lies squarely with my lack of proficiency in Javascript! I did spend a couple of hours searching for a solution, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for any help!
