is it possible to program a media query to send you to another web page?

i have an overall phone landscape and portrait layout. on the other pages of my website when the user views them on their mobil device I would like to have them forwarded to the overall phone website. is this possible or am i just dreaming?

Not possible with Media Query. You would need some JavaScript to test the width of the viewport. However, if you are interested in redirecting users you should really do some user agent sniffing instead, rather than relying on the viewport to tell you what the user is using.

This is indeed not possible with Media Queries, but you could use JavaScript (jQuery), it would look something like:

$(window).on(‘resize load’, function(){
var width = $(window).width();
if(width <= 600){ // Where 600 is the width
window.location = ‘http://www.google.com&#8217;;
}
});
