Description Paul Sleigh 2004-05-02 21:12:37 UTC 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html> says it's legal to specify media like
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print, projection" ...>.  This
gives an error in the CSS Validator: "unrecognized media screen, projection". 
It shouldn't.  Unfortunately the spurious error also prevents the rest of the
validator from running.

Fixed, see http://qa-dev.w3.org:8001/css-validator/
Comment 2 Alex 2005-11-08 04:00:05 UTC 
Same error "unrecognized media screen,projection" when using the following syntax:

<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
	@import url(css/styles.css);
</style>
Comment 3 mat 2007-01-25 16:27:44 UTC 
I am using this piece of code:

<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection, print, tv">
@import '/shared/public/css/style.css';
</style>

which produce the same error message.

Comment 5 Reto Steffen 2008-02-10 21:25:10 UTC 
the apple site tells people to add
media="screen and (min-device-width: 481px)
and
media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)"
to optimize a site for the iphone
which gives me the same error:
unrecognized media screen and (min-device-width: 481px)
