Well, @import has been around for a while... It has also been used as a filter to block out old browsers, for years - without the media-attribute. > I google searched the w3.org but couldn't find a list of recognised > media types.

We can use 'all'... <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#at-import> ...but I haven't tested if IE handles that differently. Other browsers won't. I can switch media-attribute today, because I am using @media rules inside my stylesheets anyway. That's also a standard rule that conveniently doubles as a hack/blockage against old browser-versions. > I still think the advantage of being able to specify, in one line, > one stlyesheet to be read /exclusively/ by compliant browsers and > another to be read /exclusively/ by IE is priceless.

We have some valid variants of the "down-level conditional comment", so sure we can exclude IE/win that way. > There's something dangerously beautiful about a statement which makes > two convenient kinds of sense. It is indeed a convenient solution :-) It _is_ also a dangerous one - especially for the less experienced, so I'll still hold up a warning sign. Now, go look for any traps that we may not have uncovered so far. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
