Revision Content

{{SeeCompatTable}}

A MediaQueryList object maintains a list of media queries on a {{ domxref("document") }}, and handles sending notifications to listeners when the media queries on the document change.

This makes it possible to observe a document to detect when its media queries change, instead of polling the values periodically, if you need to programmatically detect changes to the values of media queries on a document.

Method overview

void handleChange(MediaQueryList mql);

Methods

handleChange()

Called when the media query list's evaluated state changes.

void handleChange(
  MediaQueryList mql
); 
Parameters
mql
The {{ domxref("MediaQueryList") }} for which the evaluated result changed.
