[css-d] Can media values be used as a part of a selector ?

2010-04-07 Thread Philip TAYLOR 
Finding myself writing (this morning) :

 style type=text/css media=print
BODY {font-family: Arial Narrow, sans-serif}
 /style
 style type=text/css media=screen
BODY {font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif}
 /style

I felt the urge to want to simplify it, along the lines of

 style type=text/css
BODY::media:print  {font-family: Arial Narrow, sans-serif}
BODY::media:screen {font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif}
 /style

but could find nothing in the spec's to suggest that such
simplification is possible.  Is anyone aware of any technique
that could be used in circumstances such as this ?

You can handle this as follows:

@media print {
body { font-family: Arial Narrow, sans-serif ; }
}

@media screen {
body {font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; }
}


Cheers, Tim

Thank you, Tim.  I assume that the @media constructs
appear within a style element; is that correct ?

They can appear in style elements or in external stylesheets. Also,  
you aren't limited to one ruleset.

Excellent, many thanks for the clarification.
Already deployed, tested and in use :-)
