Does any else have ideas about this? I'm a little surprised that no
one has responded to this, as this list seems to be very active an
helpful to so many. Is it that I need to clarify my question? Is it a
bad or obvious question? I sent it out end of the day Friday, so
should I maybe resubmit it for those who missed it?
Think we got it, but it all depends on your own preferences and sites.
If only a few modifications are needed to make a media "all" into a
media "print" and/or other media styles, then a main stylesheet with
media type "all" set on it do make sense. Stylesheets for different
media can be kept small.
If you need many modifications and overrides, then it may make most
sense to keep "screen", "projection", "print", "handheld" as completely
separate stylesheets, and build up each from basic default. No "all", or
maybe a small one.
Myself: I'm testing out the latter, with no overrides and/or
modifications needed, and something like:
"screen"
"print,projection" (I use Opera)
"handheld" (once again, I use Opera)
One obvious gain is that I don't have to do things like 'unfloat' my
screen-styles for printing via Moz/FF. I also won't have to 'fight'
specificity between media-styles. My total amount of CSS gets bigger
though. I also use @media importing in my stylesheets, and use @media
rules in combined stylesheets -- in all stylesheets in fact. I find this
approach easy to maintain and suitable for most sites, but that's just
me :-).
It's mostly a 'personal preference' and 'maintenance' thing, and you
will have to find your own 'best approach' and test it across
browser/media-land. If you have some ready -- links, then we may help a
bit on testing.
A few of my own notes:
