HTML style media attribute

Example

Two different styles for two different media types (computer screen and print):

<head>
<style type="text/css">
h1 {color:#FF0000;}
p {color:#0000FF;}
body {background-color:#FFEFD6;}
</style>
<style type="text/css" media="print">
h1 {color:#000000;}
p {color:#000000;}
body {background-color:#FFFFFF;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Header 1</h1>
<p>A paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>


Definition and Usage

Tip: To define more than one media type per style element, use a comma-separated list (example: <style type="text/css" media="screen,projection">).
