Media Queries Not Being Triggered

Question

I am creating a responsive site right now but unfortunately my media queries are not being triggered. I have supplied the code, completely copied and pasted as-is from my document that I am using, below.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong that is preventing my media queries from being called?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- USE THIS ONE WHEN WP GOES <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>!-->
    <html>
<head>
    <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <meta name="description" content="">
    <meta name="author" content="">

    <title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>

    <!-- Icon !-->
    <link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.png" type="image/png">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.png" type="image/png" />

    <!--<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" /> !-->
    <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />

    <!-- CSS -->
    <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen">
    <link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen">

Answer 1

I believe you need a and between screen and the max/min width. Also your first media query is missing an ending bracket (max-width: 1279px see

http://jsfiddle.net/QM54b

@media screen and (min-width: 100px) and (max-width: 479px) {
    body {background: green;}
}

Because of the missing bracket, the rest of the media query will not be triggered
