Netscape 4, @media screen, display none

How to make it work

[jalarie]

As far as I can see, the following should work even on Netscape 4, but it doesn't. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

<style>
 @media screen {
 .NotOnScreen { display: none; }
 }
</style>
On screen
<span class="NotOnScreen">Not seen</span>
More on screen

@media

is not supported by Netscape 4 (or IE before version 5.5). If you really need to support Netscape 4 then you can use the old trick of using a standard linked stylesheet for NN4-only rules, then overriding those rules in a second imported stylesheet.

Netscape 4s overall browser share has dropped to less that 0.1% when looking at general site statistics - unless you have a very specific need on your particular site, then don't worry about anything lower than Mozilla 1.4 (Netscape 7).
