I must apologize for the jumbled mess that was my previous response to this thread. I have been informed that my posts come through with no line breaks and encrypted nonsense at the end.
This is caused by the CustomizeGoogle firefox extension; more specifically, the 'Secure Gmail' option. I have uninstalled the extension and I'm re-posting my response on the grounds that when a copy of it was sent back to me I couldn't understand it at all, even though I had only written it 30 minutes prior. Again, sorry for creating excess noise, Andrew. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Krespanis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Oct 7, 2005 10:26 AM Subject: Re: [WSG] Say no to CSS hacks with branching techniques To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org On 10/7/05, Thierry Koblentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would appreciate your feedback so I can improve this article: > http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/branching.asp Sure, but I'm in a hurry so please excuse me if I'm a bit short with my reponse :) > Congratulations! Now your file is ready for prime time. > In the markup, below the title element, write the following: > <style type="text/css" media="all"> > @import url("/css/basic.css"); > </style> media="all" is a pretty presumptuous piece of advice; especially since there doesn't appear to be any instruction for beginners as to the implications of using media="all". Can your PDA fit a 800px wide fixed width layout? What about your phone? Nor can mine. ..and what use is visual style to an audio-based browser? ;) > cursor:hand This is only needed for IE < 6. Perhaps worth adding this detail? Have you tested that media="print" on a <link> elements has higher precedence that media="all" on <style> in all your supported browsers? I couldn't agree more with what you're trying to achieve, but I think there are still some important details missing :) Funnily enough, I published something rather similar exactly one year ago today: http://leftjustified.net/journal/2004/10/07/css-negotiation/ cheers, Andrew. -- http://leftjustified.net/
