No, you completely missed the features and ability an author has with media types. I'm saying, WITH CSS you have the ability to switch style sheets according to what type of browser is rendering the page. No scripting or hacking - it's built into the way CSS is designed.

You don't have to do this though. You can use a single style sheet for them all, and code it so it will work and render the same in them all. You think that's magic though so I don't expect you to believe it.

Oh, and just so you know. Doctypes also have a lot to do with how mobile and other browsers render a page. Which has nothing to do with CSS, or tables. You should know that though since you're a "designer".
