Re: Fw: Error Message Feedback (custom DTD document)

Hi David

I am not sure what the media attribute refers to; I never heard of "all" or "screen, projector". Which tag is this in reference to:

>Using an external stylesheet linked with a media attribute that has a value other than "screen"

Could you explain what this means in more detail.

I am indeed using an external stylesheet that is written at runtime by a javascript source file. If you could view the source, it would say:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.cdesign.me.uk/mendipmedia/css/generic.css">

Thanks

Charlie
