update CSS media feature

Syntax

none

Once it has been rendered, the layout can no longer be updated. Example: documents printed on paper.

slow

The layout may change dynamically according to the usual rules of CSS, but the output device is not able to render or display changes quickly enough for them to be perceived as a smooth animation. Examples: e-book readers or severely underpowered devices.

fast

The layout may change dynamically according to the usual rules of CSS, and the output device is not unusually constrained in speed, so regularly-updating things like CSS Animations can be used. Example: computer screens.

Examples

HTML

<p>
  If this text animates for you, your browser supports `update` and you are
