Hi Ron,
I usually put width:100%;max-width:600px; for situations where the element will 
fill the screen up to a certain size and then max it so it stops at the width I 
desire. 

And yes, like Tom said, you have to point to something to make it change in 
your media query. 

@media ... (...) {
#some_element {
width:100%;
max-width:600px;
}
}

HTH,

Best,
Karl
