Yes and no, we can only make these changes to the content with script so a script print solution is acceptable, for example in the above example the static non-scripted document would not have any of this media specific content in, it would only be added with script when appropriate, that way the media specific nature can be relied upon - the script is unobtrusive. CSS however is optional at the fine grained level. Jim.
