CSS media support

This is a test to check which of the CSS @media types are supported by the browser.

screen supported HTML4
handheld supported HTML4; deprecated in CSS2
print supported HTML4
speech supported CSS2
all supported CSS2

Except for all, modes should be mutually exclusive: in compliant browsers, only one of the media types should be supported at one time. It is interesting to try "print preview" mode.

The handheld media type is rare these days, and deprecated. It has been supported by several browsers on smart phones. It was part of the 2012 CSS3 spec: Media Queries. It has been deprecated in favor of CSS "media queries": Media Queries Level 4 (which also says all the media types will eventually be deprecated.) Here is another set of tests: Test of support for CSS Media types.
