Media query not working in IE9

Question

I\'m having a strange problem that only occurs with IE9. I\'m working on a web page that has a desktop layout, and a mobile layout. Same HTML, different CSS. The problem hap

Answer 1

From what I can tell, it comes down to IE9 not interpreting "min-device-width" and "max-device-width".

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms530813.aspx it does not support those properties, only "min-width" and "max-width".

In addition, http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/#error-handling states that the browser is supposed to ignore properties that it does not recognize. Not so with IE9 it seems.
