| } | |
| // test a mobile device media query | |

| // smartphone/iphone... maybe run some small-screen related dom scripting? | |

And scott reports https://gist.github.com/710855/8649f3df8f151624500782e4d6915194d2560c5e is the last version to successfully work in IE..
And scott fixed it all! Style elem needs the type attribute! https://gist.github.com/786768/
Updated things here.. most notably
- fixed the return value
- removed caching (caching isnt very responsive)
I'd still like to pull some ideas from nicholas https://gist.github.com/08602e7d2ee448be834c
And now I've pulled in nicholas' techniques from https://gist.github.com/08602e7d2ee448be834c Mucho better!
Tested in Chrome, FF3.6, IE6 so far.

Eivind Uggedal has apparently fixed a bug with IE8 on this. https://gist.github.com/747277
I haven't yet confirmed this issue.
