Changing Adsense placement according to device type

Responsive design not enough

I'd like to be able to have a little more control over my Adsense placement when mobiles / tablets are being used. Whilst I can get reasonable results using responsive layouts I would like a bit more control.

My first thought would be to use JS to create a conditional show/hide depending on screen width. Is there a way of doing this that is not going to violate the TOS? I'm assuming I can do it without changing the actual Adsense code itself...

Thanks,
Chris

With responsive ads you can use media queries to set the ad size, as you probably realise.
These include a 'display:none' option, so you can set ads in as many places as you like as long as only three are displayed ( you can see code examples in adsense support)
Personally I think this is an easier solution than using javascript and just as flexible.

Thanks Rasputin. I'd just found figured this out, or at least found a solution here: [productforums.google.com...]

I'm assuming that the ad slot is just skipped if the ''display:none' is used. It's only AFAIK the ad relevance declines after the first ad.
