How to use Javascript media queries with window.addEventListener?

85 Views Asked by Allu At 31 October 2025 at 07:32

I am trying to use Javascipt media queries, but I can not get it work.

I am trying that iframe loads the frame only when size is less than 700px,:

<script>
mobile();
function mobile(){

    const mql = window.matchMedia('screen and (max-width: 700px)');

    checkMedia(mql);
    mql.addListener(checkMedia);

    function checkMedia(mql){

        if(mql.matches){

          function frameloading() {
              var frameone= document.getElementById("delayedframe");
              frameone.src = "360°-image url"
          };
          window.addEventListener("load",(frameloading));
        }
    }
}
</script>

<iframe id="delayedframe" src="about:blank" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;top:100px;left:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px" height="200px" width="100%""><p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p></iframe>

I am used this post with this test: Multiple media queries in javascript

And I am also tried with:

<script>
function checkMediaQuery() {
  if (window.innerWidth > 700) {
    function frameloading() {
        var frameone= document.getElementById("delayedframe");
        frameone.src = "360°-image url"
    };
    window.addEventListener("load",(frameloading));
  }
}


window.addEventListener('resize', checkMediaQuery);
</script>

<iframe id="delayedframe" src="about:blank" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px" height="100%" width="100%" class="forcewide"><p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p></iframe>

Whole of those not loading the iframe when width is less than 700px.

On window load we called mobile() then it will use window.matchMedia to validate media queries using window.matchMedia().matches. If condition gets true then frameloading() will be called.

Below is the working code:

      function mobile() {
        const mql = window.matchMedia("screen and (max-width: 700px)");
        // listener on changes
        mql.addListener(checkMedia);
      }

      function checkMedia(mql) {
        if (mql.matches) {
          frameloading();
        }
      }

      function frameloading() {
        alert('media query working');
        const frameone= document.getElementById("delayedframe");
        frameone.src = "360°-image url"
      }

      window.addEventListener("load", mobile);

I solved my problem by using this jQuery based code:

$(document).ready(function()
{
if ($(window).width() <= 700)
     $('#IFRAMEID1').attr("src","url of the iframe");

<iframe id="IFRAMEID1" src="about:blank" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px" height="100%" width="100%"><p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p></iframe>
