Is it possible to nest media queries within media queries?

Is this possible? It seems like a neat solution to me, but I'm not sure if it will work.

@media only screen 
and (min-device-width : 320px) 
and (max-device-width : 480px) {

    /* Code for both portrait and landscape */

    @media (orientation:portrait) {

        /* Code for just portrait */

    }

    @media (orientation:landscape) {

        /* C开发者_C百科ode for just landscape */

    }

}

You should be able to nest @media rules this way in CSS3, but it isn't yet supported by most browsers. See this answer for details.

You would have to fully expand and repeat the top-level media queries for the inner rules for it to work across browsers (and I imagine the SCSS processor would generate something similar):

@media only screen 
and (min-device-width: 320px) 
and (max-device-width: 480px) {
    /* Code for both portrait and landscape */
}

@media only screen 
and (min-device-width: 320px) 
and (max-device-width: 480px) 
and (orientation: portrait) {

    /* Code for just portrait */

}

@media only screen 
and (min-device-width: 320px) 
and (max-device-width: 480px) 
and (orientation: landscape) {

    /* Code for just landscape */

}

If you wanted to do this the best way is to use the high level media query in a link tag, and then the other queries inside the linked sheet.

In practice though most people cascade their CSS rules from a base sheet that covers the common stuff and then putting changes to that in each media rule-set.

I think not possible but you can write this format If you are using SASS css pre-processor.

example , you can copy this code and paste to https://www.sassmeister.com/ -and watch the output

SASS

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  body{
    color:red;
  }
   @media (orientation:portrait) {
       body{
        color:green;
      }
   }
   @media (orientation:landscape) {
       body{
        color:orange;
      }
   }
}

Output CSS

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  body {
    color: red;
  }
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) and (orientation: portrait) {
  body {
    color: green;
  }
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) and (orientation: landscape) {
  body {
    color: orange;
  }
}
