device-height CSS media feature

Deprecated

Avoid using this feature in new projects. Device media queries do not reflect available layout, only the physical size of the device. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.

Consider using the following features instead: Media queries.

Note: To query for the height of the viewport, developers should use the height media feature instead.

The device-height CSS media feature can be used to test the height of an output device's rendering surface.

Syntax

The device-height feature is specified as a <length> value. It is a range feature, meaning that you can also use the prefixed min-device-height and max-device-height variants to query minimum and maximum values, respectively.

Examples

Applying a special stylesheet for devices that are shorter than 800 pixels

html
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  media="screen and (max-device-height: 799px)"
  href="https://cdn.example.com/short-styles.css" />
