The CSS Media Queries specification is going well, thanks for asking! It is a Candidate Recommendation, waiting for implementations to move forward. The questions that the CSS working group now has to address on the CSS Media Queries have more to do with the automation of the test suite than with the lack of implementations. In particular, no further changes are expected. Implementations have already been mentioned on this mailing-list: - desktop browsers: Firefox 3.5, Opera 8+, Safari 3+ - mobile browsers: Opera mobile, Opera Mini, Safari for iPhone, Bolt, Iris, Ozone (see [1] for the last 3 browsers) One thing to note though is that not all CSS media features are supported. No problem with "device-width", but "color" or "orientation" may not always be supported. See for instance CSS3 Media Queries support in Opera Presto 2.2 [2]. It is relatively safe to use CSS Media Queries in the sense that browsers that do not understand them should simply ignore the CSS properties. There may be a few problems with some OpenWave browsers as noted in [3] though. Francois.
