Hi there. I'm currently working on a project, and I need to do some iPad specific styling.
Is it possible to target just iPad?

@media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px)

and

@media (max-device-width: 1024px) and (orientation: landscape)

both targets a lot more than the iPad, for instance a bunch of laptops. I want to target the iPad specifically. Is that possible with media queries?

From Perishable Press

/* iPad [portrait + landscape] */
@media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) {

}

Something about using 'only screen', but I'm no expert.

So much for reading your post... it's still morning for me, forgive me.

I'm not sure why laptops are picking up that first one though. I was under the impression that min-DEVICE-width shouldn't do that.

Would this work?

@media handheld and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) {
}

markthema3: I tried media type handheld, but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure handheld targets older cell phones and not smart phones or iPad.

TheDoc: Device can be any type of device with I guess.

Found a snippet here on CSS-tricks that seems to work very well. "@media only screen and (device-width: 768px)"
