    Updated Candidate Recommendation for Media Queries

    by

    Posted in News, W3C

    The CSS Working Group published an updated Candidate Recommendation of the Media Queries module on the 27th July.

    According to a post by Bert Bos (Friday 6th August) on the www-style mailing list, the main change is that an empty media query is no longer an error, but rather applies to all media, for example:

    @media {… style rules …}

    The document now also contains a link to a test suite (currently in beta), which runs a series of automated tests to check for compliance with the specification. Here’s how a few common browsers shaped up:

    Google Chrome (5.0.375.125 beta)

    Passed: 180
    Failed: 190
    Todo: 0

    Mozilla Firefox (3.6)

    Passed: 361
    Failed: 0
    Todo: 0

    Microsoft IE (8)

    Passed: 0
    Failed: 1
    Todo: 0

    (Test causes an error loading the page)

    Microsoft IE (9, platform preview 4)

    Passed: 175
    Failed: 186
    Todo: 0

    Opera (10.60)

    Passed: 254
    Failed: 107
    Todo: 0

    You can see how other browsers did in the test suite via browsershots here.

    Aside from the updates above, the text has been improved in several places as follows:

    …some text moved to a more logical place, terms are better coordinated with CSS 2.1, an informal reference to HTML5 was added, etc..

    As always, comments are invited via the www-style mailing list, preferably within the next two to three weeks.
