Hey all, SETUP: I've got a question about specializing style sheets for a given media type (without using css2 @media). For all the sites that I create I write out a file for the "screen" media type, named "screen.css". Once I have all of those style in place, I will duplicate that file in it's entirety and rename it "print.css", and and link it using the media type "print". I would modify this file as needed. This creates a lot of duplication and file size overhead, and harder to update if in two places.
I was thinking that I should try a new approach. Write out the first file and name it "basic.css" and have the media type set to "all". Then, link a new file named "print.css" with media type set to "print". This file would use cascading so that it only modified the styles that needed to be modified for the print version, and the reset would be taken from the "basic.css" file. QUESTION: Are there any draw backs to this approach? Any browsers that this would not be supported in? Any better methods to employ? Suggestions/best practices that might help? THANKS AND PRAISE to anyone that can help me out. -Justin ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
