Making a style sheet for e.g. a slideshow that adapts properly to a tra- ditional 4:3 screen versus a increasingly common 16:10 screen would then be a bit difficult (you would have to have some elaborate conditions in- volving min-/max-width/height). I don't think 'orientation' is granular enough. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
