Re: Requirement for Element Queries

Mikel,




A couple of questions about your example:




* Are we assuming that the elements that appear on the tablet are newly inserted into the DOM, i.e. not hidden elements? 

* Are we assuming that the containing element for the new elements (the body or some component) is further constrained by an applicable container query, media query or another CSS property?




I've attached a diagram that illustrates what I think you're suggesting as a use case. Can you confirm that I've got it right?










Also: Hello RICG! I’ve been this list quite for a while, but it’s time to start participating!




Cheers,

George
