In this article, we would like to show you how to style elements using media query with orientation in CSS.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
@media (orientation: portrait) {
    .element {
        /* put portrait styles here */
    }
}
​
@media (orientation: landscape) {
    .element {
        /* put landscape styles here */
    }
}

Where:

portret styles are applied to element when the viewport width <= height,
landscape styles are applied to the element when the viewport width > height.

Practical example

Edit

In this example, body element background will be yellow on portrait orientation (vertical) and orange on landscape orientation (horizontal).

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
​
    div {
        width: 100%;
        height: 500px;
    }
​
    @media (orientation: portrait) {
        div {
            background: yellow;
        }
    }
​
    @media (orientation: landscape) {
        div {
            background: orange;
        }
    }
​
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div>Web page content here...</div>
</body>
</html>
