Media queries range syntax

“Media Queries”, “Range Syntax”, photo of Ahmad Shadeed labeled “Design Engineer”, and two code blocks comparing max-width: 299px and min-width: 300px to width <= 300px and width > 300px.

Ahmad Shadeed shows how the classic min-width and max-width syntax creates overlap bugs at identical breakpoints, like two elements hiding at the same 300px. The fix: CSS range syntax with comparison operators like <=, >=, and >, supported in all browsers since March 2023. Clearer code, no manual offsets, and the same logic works for container queries.
