Would resolution dependent CSS switching also work within this model ? http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2006/01/19/ The concept I'm working on using this tech is as follows: 1) For Pocket IE and other PDAs, run a basic 200 pixel wide design under "screen" media type, then step up to 640 by 480, 800 by 600 and so on for normal (IE/Fox/Opera/Safari) browser rendering 2) run a cut down version of the 200 pixel "screen" model for the "handheld" media type. 3) Run a boilerplate "print" version aimed at correctly printing everything in order at A4 or Letter. Would this method also work ? Sure, it looks like a lot of work and possible duplication, but then you could also extend to the "tv" and "tty" media types inside this model..
