Possible to disable @media queries or force a resolution? Reason: Allow an iphone to see the desktop site?

I had the same issue with a client. But the problem was there were 120+ CSS files contained the media queries. So what I did is, set the viewport width. I have used this snippet on that site and working fine. Using this, even you can give the option for the users to toggle between responsive design and non-responsive design.

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('meta[name="viewport"]').prop('content', 'width=1440');
});

Note: 1440 is your preferred screen width.

Hope this helps :)


I would add a class to your <html> or <body> such as class="force-desktop" and then on your media selector add

@media () {
    body:not(.force-desktop) {
        //styles
    }
}

or something similar


The solution of IJas without JQuery looks like:

var viewport = document.querySelector("meta[name=viewport]");
viewport.setAttribute('content', width=1440);
