[thelist] Does MSIE 5 Have a Problem with @media?

[Randy Pearson]

Does anyone know if there is a known bug with @media in style sheets in MSIE
5.X? I was trying to adopt a printing approach in a single style sheet and
added something like this:

@media screen{
	.MainMenu{ width: 160px; text-align: left; }
}
@media print{
	.MainMenu{ display: none; }
}

This worked fine, except in MSIE 5.X, where the behavior was quite erratic.
It would seem almost to randomly use/ignore the styles, such that repeatedly
refreshing the same page would vary the rendering. I pared isolated the
trouble to this use of dual-media usage within one page.

Further, this appeared only to apply when the CSS was external. I copied the
whole .CSS file contents into a <style> block in the document, and the
problem did not occur.

If this is a bug, does anyone know a workaround, other than adding a
separate .CSS file?

Thanks,
