How to use javascript conditionally like CSS3 media queries, orientation?

How to use javascript conditionally like CSS3 media queries, orientation?

For Example I can write css for specific

@media only screen and (width : 1024px) and (orientation : landscape) {

.selector1 { width:960px}

}

Now I want to only run some javascript if it match the same conditions

like

@media only screen and (width : 1024px) and (orientation : landscape) {

A javascript code here

}

I have a external javascript for example http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.4.min.js and it should be only run on specific screen size and orientation

Solution 1:

You can use window.matchMedia():

Test a mobile device media query

if (matchMedia('only screen and (max-width: 480px)').matches) {
  // smartphone/iphone... maybe run some small-screen related dom scripting?
}

Test landscape orientation

if (matchMedia('all and (orientation:landscape)').matches) {
  // probably tablet in widescreen view
}

Currently supported in all modern browsers (more details)

Polyfill for old browsers: https://github.com/paulirish/matchMedia.js/

Solution 2:

...I want to run a javascript only if max-width of browser is 1900px and min-width is 768

EDIT: Actually, that was all wrong. If you're using a mobile device, use:

function doStuff(){
    landscape = window.orientation? window.orientation=='landscape' : true;

    if(landscape && window.innerWidth<1900 && window.innerWidth > 768){
        //code here
    }
}
window.onload=window.onresize=doStuff;
if(window.onorientationchange){
    window.onorientationchange=doStuff;
}
