How to make a JavaScript Function to work on desktop only

Question

I created a JavaScript function that shows an underline under each menu name, but I want this function to work on desktop ONLY.

I tried to use this function, but it did not work for some reason, so I decided to remove it. Please let me know the correct way of doing this. This is the code function I found on w3schools.

 function myFunction(x) {
  if (x.matches) { // If media query matches
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
  } else {
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = "pink";
  }
}

var x = window.matchMedia("(max-width: 700px)")
myFunction(x) // Call listener function at run time
x.addListener(myFunction) // Attach listener function on state changes

Here is the original code Before I used the code seen above.

 (function() { const target = document.querySelector(".target"); const links = document.querySelectorAll(".mynav a"); const colors = ["deepskyblue", "orange", "firebrick", "gold", "magenta", "black", "darkblue"]; function mouseenterFunc() { if (!this.parentNode.classList.contains("active")) { for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) { if (links[i].parentNode.classList.contains("active")) { links[i].parentNode.classList.remove("active"); } links[i].style.opacity = "0.25"; } this.parentNode.classList.add("active"); this.style.opacity = "1"; const width = this.getBoundingClientRect().width; const height = this.getBoundingClientRect().height; const left = this.getBoundingClientRect().left + window.pageXOffset; const top = this.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.pageYOffset; const color = colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)]; target.style.width = `${width}px`; target.style.height = `${height}px`; target.style.left = `${left}px`; target.style.top = `${top}px`; target.style.borderColor = color; target.style.transform = "none"; } } for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) { links[i].addEventListener("click", (e) => e.preventDefault()); links[i].addEventListener("mouseenter", mouseenterFunc); } function resizeFunc() { const active = document.querySelector(" .mynav li.active"); if (active) { const left = active.getBoundingClientRect().left + window.pageXOffset; const top = active.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.pageYOffset; target.style.left = `${left}px`; target.style.top = `${top}px`; } } window.addEventListener("resize", resizeFunc); // Event Listener To Remove Line From Floating in Air When Leaving Dropdown Box - START document.querySelector(".mynav").addEventListener("mouseleave", function() { target.removeAttribute("style"); }) // Event Listener To Remove Line From Floating in Air When Leaving Dropdown Box - END })(); /* Toggle between adding and removing the "responsive" class to topnav when the user clicks on the icon */ function myFunction() { var x = document.getElementById("myTopnav"); if (x.className === "topnav") { x.className += " responsive"; } else { x.className = "topnav"; } }

Answer 1

You can try with this. Hope it will work.

//User agent for Mobile only...
if(navigator.userAgent.match(/Mobile|Windows Phone|Lumia|Android|webOS|iPhone|iPod|Blackberry|PlayBook|BB10|Opera Mini|\bCrMo\/|Opera Mobi/i) ) {
    console.log('Mobile Stuff...');
}

//User agent for Tablet only...
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Tablet|iPad/i)) {
    console.log('Tablet Stuff...');
}

//User-agent for Desktop only...
if(!navigator.userAgent.match(/Mobile|Windows Phone|Lumia|Android|webOS|iPhone|iPod|Blackberry|PlayBook|BB10|Opera Mini|\bCrMo\/|Opera Mobi|Tablet|iPad/i) ) {
    console.log('Desktop Stuff...');
}

Answer 2

JS

The easiest solution I see to your problem is checking if the JS value window.innerWidth is greater or equal to 992px (min desktop width).

CSS

However, since you really want to apply styling which is CSS related you most likely want to write a media query to do your job.

Example:

@media screen and (min-width: 992px) {
    /* CSS-styling for desktop */
}

These are best placed at the bottom of your CSS stylesheet. If you are unfamiliar with them I highly recommend checking them out.

Answer 3

Sorry guys I figured out the answer and it was easy for fix. Instead of adding another javascript function I just used the code below in the CSS Media Query for mobile.

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
    /* Removing the Menu Underline For Ipad and Mobile */

    .target {
       display: none;
    }

}
