Those properties were designed for aural browsers using speech synthesis to read the content of a page, not to control multimedia in a page itself. Also, attempting to hijack those properties for use with multimedia content could create difficulties as you would have to define how the HTMLMediaElement's volume and muted properties interact with those CSS properties, if at all. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
