My understanding of media queries evolved when I discovered them yesterday during my research on creating mobile-optimized pages. I learned that a media query refers to a stylesheet that complements and supersedes the current one, which differed from what I previously believed.
Is my new understanding correct? Is there a way to instruct the visitor's browser to disregard the original stylesheet and exclusively use the one designed for mobile?
Below is the current code snippet:
<link href="styles_mobile.css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<link type="text/css" href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet>
