</div>I'm not quite sure how this would work, since there are two things<br>

This seems to imply that we'd have to go un-execute a script, or<br>
that we'd have to execute later something that was skipped earlier,<br>
even when that no longer makes sense.<br>
<br>
<br>
What was the actual use case you were trying to solve with this<br>
attribute?</blockquote><div><br>For instance, I'd like to call SWFObject function (to replace html content with flash) only if media=screen.<br>Other times there are js funcions that have no sense if a given style sheet has not been applied to the page.<br>
