Good work: thanks to the whole Netsurf team. I'd like to know more about Media Queries vis-a-vis Netsurf. Will the documentation (link from Netsurf welcome page) be updated soon? As I understand it from the bottom of my learning curve, Media Queries has to do with designing a website so that it automatically adapts according to whether the user is viewing it on a large or small screen. In the site I have been working on, I have treated Netsurf as the default. Realizing that Windows users habitually view a page the full size of their wide monitor, and thus get unreadably wide lines of text, I inserted a workaround to constrain page to 800px (about A5 width). This works fine on A5 Android tablet too. The problem of sensibly adapting the layout for a small screen on a smartphone has so far eluded me, hence my interest in Media Queries. -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk
