When the user presses F11 in Opera, @media projection is honored. If no such style sheet exists, @media screen is honored. As such, Opera either goes into projection mode or screen mode. I don't see why this is so bad -- certainly no worse than not supporting @media projection at all? -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª howcome@opera.com http://people.opera.com/howcome
