    Brad,

    Thanks for the tutorial. Do you know how to remove this script on a mobile device or certain media query ?

      You can wrap the CSS which starts on line 1217 in a media query so it doesn’t shrink when on smaller screens like this
      [code]
      @media only screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
      //shrink CSS rules
      }
      [/code]

      or you can modify the jQuery so it only adds the class on larger screen widths.

      This code only executes when the screen width is less than 1023 pixels width.

      [code]
      if ($(window).width() < 1023 ) { // Your code } Or you can change the comparison operator > to greater than a specific pixel width. This code only executes when the screen width is greater than 1023 pixels width.

      if ($(window).width() > 1023 ) {
      // Your code
      }
      [/code]

      Let me know if you get stuck.
