It makes more sense to have a pref that the user can control than for us to guess what they might like based on screen size or whatever, I think.
I hesitate on this. For instance: if media_type is defined to "handheld" and there's no such remote CSS, at least it should fallback to "screen".
If there is a handheld style sheet available and dillo is running on a handheld, it would be a shame not to use it. I'm hoping that the page author would have the sense to supply something for type "all".
Maybe it's more practical to provide custom stylesheets (as the current "style.css". e.g. small_screen.css, print.css) and to allow switching among them from the "Tools" menu.
What do you think?
I think someone using handheld would want to use both the page author's handheld-specific code and a user style suitable for their device. I'll send this to the list in case anyone with experience using such devices with the web has opinions to share.

Agreed. I think we should first add an option to switch to "handheld" and only apply "handheld" and "all" media styles. Later we can decide whether we want a fallback to "screen".
Maybe it's more practical to provide custom stylesheets (as the current "style.css". e.g. small_screen.css, print.css) and to allow switching among them from the "Tools" menu.

Yes, that's the general idea in CSS. We might add a menu item to make it easy for the user to switch between several user stylesheets. But I would only do this if someone really needs/wants it.

Unfortunately not me yet :( Cheers, Johannes

I never was able to talk Jorge into this one, but I might as well make the code available so that people with handhelds can have it if they wish.

I don't have a handheld and seldom use one. Despite my efforts, my attempts to try to give good advice on it in the past have proved clumsy and of no much use, so I prefer to follow the advice from the ones using them all the time (e.g. Andreas Kemnade). -- Cheers Jorge.-
