I'm trying to make a different usage of my stylesheets depending if the device is mobile or not. I would like that my javascript could compare the height and the weight of browser. I have tried this, but it doesn't work:

    <script type="text/javascript">
function applyStyle() {
var $ = document; // shortcut
var mobile = 'mobile';  // you could encode the css path itself to generate id..
var desktop = 'desktop';  // you could encode the css path itself to generate id..
    if ($(window).height() > $(window).width()) {
    var head  = $.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    var link  = $.createElement('link');
    link.id   = mobile;
    link.rel  = 'stylesheet';
    link.type = 'text/css';
    link.href = 'css/interfacemobile.css';
    head.appendChild(link);
}
else {
    var head  = $.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    var link  = $.createElement('link');
    link.id   = desktop;
    link.rel  = 'stylesheet';
    link.type = 'text/css';
    link.href = 'css/interface.css';
    head.appendChild(link);
}}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
    applyStyle();
    </script>

I think that my error is on calling of script, but I'm not sure because I'm not very skilled with JS. Thank you very much for the help!

Edit: Now I'm Trying this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkStyle() {
var check = false;

But it doesn't work, why? TT_TT

Edit: The solution for me has been: 

<script type="text/javascript">

var check = false;

    Did you look at your browser's JavaScript console at all? Try pressing 'F12', it might help you see what's going wrong. – David says reinstate Monica May 26 '14 at 22:31

    Now you remove the `var $ = ducment` so you should change also all the `$` for `document`. Also... use chrome for debugging and open the Developers Tools... F12 or contextmenu > Inspect Element like David Thomas said – rawiro May 26 '14 at 23:15

The error is in 

var $ = document; // shortcut

and then

if ($(window).height() > $(window).width()) {

$ is document and you are using it like jQuery

use window.innerHeight window.innerWidth

  • it works, but if I load the page from a mobile device on landscape mode it loads "desktop" stylesheet. Can js recognize if the device is mobile or not? – ProtoTyPus May 26 '14 at 22:32

    can and can't... there is several ways to do it... check [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11381673/javascript-solution-to-detect-mobile-browser](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11381673/javascript-solution-to-detect-mobile-browser) also search in google the `` tag and `media queries` – rawiro May 26 '14 at 22:37
  • I've solved with the script in your link! Goodjob my frind, thank you so much! – ProtoTyPus May 26 '14 at 23:30

You can just use CSS media queries:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-device-width: 700px)" href="css/narrow.css" />
<link rel='stylesheet' media='screen and (min-width: 701px) and (max-width: 900px)' href='css/medium.css' />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (max-device-width: 901px)" href="css/narrow.css" />

OR, if you really want to use javascript, you can use this:

function adjustStyle(width) {
    width = parseInt(width);
    if (width < 701) {
        $("#size-stylesheet").attr("href", "css/narrow.css");
    } else if ((width >= 701) && (width < 900)) {
        $("#size-stylesheet").attr("href", "css/medium.css");
    } else {
       $("#size-stylesheet").attr("href", "css/wide.css"); 
    }
}

$(function() {
    adjustStyle($(this).width());
    $(window).resize(function() {
        adjustStyle($(this).width());
    });
});

  • I need an universal manner for recognize all the resolutions. Usually mobile devices have the height > width! – ProtoTyPus May 26 '14 at 22:30
  • You're question said depending on browser width, so I answered as such. I'm sure what I have posted can be modified to work for height also. – Tomtiger11 May 26 '14 at 22:31
  • Of course, it works also for height. I intended that my stylesheets doesn't depending from a specified dimension, but also if height>width! – ProtoTyPus May 26 '14 at 22:35
  • Ah, I get you. You can also do that with this also. Use the Javascript i've got, also get the height and do an `if (width – Tomtiger11 May 26 '14 at 22:36
