Just a note about the last part of the article "Elsewhere": Ethan Marcotte’s demo does use media-queries: in the final version of the layout: http://www.alistapart.com/d/responsive-web-design/ex/ex-site-FINAL.html

This is awsome stuff. really it is. I’ve played with overlow properties to acheive similar results i interfaces…
…but to say this is well suported when no current IE supports this is um…well it’s maybe right if your site is for designers only.

IE sadly having huge market share and looking like it will only slip gradually http://netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=2

very cool indeed and thank you for sharing for how much work did you spend in it? and for a single element! if you use this technique in a project that is more than a single page you most likely will have to do the same for many elements. it is really worth?? the answer is, of course: Depends if this will spare you the work to create a completely different version of your website for let's say mobile devices, then definitively YES, if not, who cares?

Nice article, my only criticism is that it doesn’t mention that media queries are new to CSS3 and are therefore only correctly interpreted by browsers which support CSS3, unless you use the JS shim others have already mentioned to expand support to older browsers.

Yes, I forgot to include that it USED to have that engine.

If you look at the site I’ve included (The Dot Product), even there it says they’re now using Word’s rendering engine. ;)
