CSS media queries for screen sizes
Solution 1:
Put it all in one document and use this:
/* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 320px)
and (max-device-width : 480px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* Smartphones (landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen
and (min-width : 321px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* Smartphones (portrait) ----------- */
@media only screen
and (max-width : 320px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPads (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPads (landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px)
and (orientation : landscape) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPads (portrait) ----------- */
@media only screen
and (min-device-width : 768px)
and (max-device-width : 1024px)
and (orientation : portrait) {
/* Styles */
}
/* Desktops and laptops ----------- */
@media only screen
and (min-width : 1224px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* Large screens ----------- */
@media only screen
and (min-width : 1824px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPhone 4 - 5s ----------- */
@media
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 1.5),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio : 1.5) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPhone 6 ----------- */
@media
only screen and (max-device-width: 667px)
only screen and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPhone 6+ ----------- */
@media
only screen and (min-device-width : 414px)
only screen and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) {
/*** You've spent way too much on a phone ***/
}
/* Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ----------- */
@media only screen
and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3),
and (min-resolution: 192dpi)and (max-width:640px) {
/* Styles */
}

At this point, I would definitely consider using em
values instead of pixels. For more information, check this post: https://zellwk.com/blog/media-query-units/.
Solution 2:
Unless you have more style sheets than that, you've messed up your break points:
#1 (max-width: 700px)
#2 (min-width: 701px) and (max-width: 900px)
#3 (max-width: 901px)
The 3rd media query is probably meant to be min-width: 901px
. Right now, it overlaps #1 and #2, and only controls the page layout by itself when the screen is exactly 901px wide.
Edit for updated question:
(max-width: 640px)
(max-width: 800px)
(max-width: 1024px)
(max-width: 1280px)
Media queries aren't like catch or if/else statements. If any of the conditions match, then it will apply all of the styles from each media query it matched. If you only specify a min-width
for all of your media queries, it's possible that some or all of the media queries are matched. In your case, a device that's 640px wide matches all 4 of your media queries, so all for style sheets are loaded. What you are most likely looking for is this:
(max-width: 640px)
(min-width: 641px) and (max-width: 800px)
(min-width: 801px) and (max-width: 1024px)
(min-width: 1025px)
Now there's no overlap. The styles will only apply if the device's width falls between the widths specified.
Solution 3:
For all smartphones and large screens use this format of media query
/* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* Smartphones (landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen and (min-width : 321px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* Smartphones (portrait) ----------- */
@media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPads (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 768px) and (max-device-width : 1024px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPads (landscape) ----------- */
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 768px) and (max-device-width : 1024px) and (orientation : landscape) {
/* Styles */
}
/* iPads (portrait) ----------- */
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 768px) and (max-device-width : 1024px) and (orientation : portrait) {
/* Styles */
}
