Using CSS style sheets, it is possible to use a set of directives(styles) depending upon the device being used to browse web pages.
[edit] Media Types
The recognised media types are:
- all - Suitable for all devices.
- aural - For speech synthesizers.
- braille - Intended for braille tactile feedback devices.
- embossed -Intended for paged braille printers.
- handheld - Intended for handheld devices.
- print - Used for formatting printed pages.
- projection - Intended for projected presentations, for example projectors or print to transparencies.
- screen - Intended primarily for color computer screens.
- tty - Intended for media using a fixed-pitch character grid, such as teletypes, terminals, or portable devices with limited display capabilities. Authors should not use pixel units with the "tty" media type.
- tv - Intended for television-type devices (low resolution, color, limited-scrollability screens, sound available).
[edit] Examples
You can assign a media type to a CSS declaration with the following syntax
@media print { body { font-size: 12pt; font-color: #000000; } }
To assign more than one declaration style to more than one media type:
@media print, handheld{ body { font-size: 12pt; font-color: #000000; } img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; } }
The directives can be used in the main CSS file or in a separate style sheet for a given media type. There must be an include to the CSS file in the templates <head> section (the following is taken from the Joomla! Beez template):
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/beez/css/print.css" type="text/css" media="Print" />
