 * I’m using a css media query to change the layout of my page when the screen width
   is `1225px` or less. I always thought the width of the html element was equal
   to screen width (assuming there’s no padding or margins), but this doesn’t appear
   to be the case. With the html element highlighted in my browser’s developer tools,
   I can see the media query doesn’t come into effect until the html element is 
   resized to `1205px`.

 * I see now I was looking at the HTML element in an iframe and not the actual root
   html element.
