AT-RULES: @media

@media media-type, ... { selector { property: value; ...; } ... };
 
Compatibility:  IE5+  N6+
Version: Level 2
 
The @media at-rule is used to set the target media for a collection of style rules on a document level.
 
The optional media-type component is a list of zero or more media types which are delineated (separated) by commas. If left blank, the default is all media types. Some of the permitted values are:
  • all - the default.
  • aural - speech synthesizers.
  • braille - braille tactile feedback devices.
  • embossed - paged braille printers.
  • handheld - handheld devices.
  • print - printed paged and print preview.
  • projection - projectors or print to transparencies.
  • screen - color computer screens.
  • tty - teletypes.
  • tv - television-type devices.
The mandatory selector { property: value; ...; } component is a list of one or more style rules. Each style rule is a property/value pair. You can have a unlimited number of selector components. They are delineated (separated) by blank space.
 
The syntax for an at-rule is an @ symbol, followed immediately by an unique identifier, which in turn is followed by the block which contains content that is applied on a document level. The block syntax is either:
  • all content contained between a pair of curly brackets,
  • or is all content contained between the unique identifier and a semi-colon.
There are five at-rules: @charset, @font-face, @import. @media, and @page.
 
Code:
@media print {
   p { color: black; font-face: arial; }
   a:visited { text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;}
}
