## Discussion

Discussion For example, window.styleMedia.matchMedium("(color)") returns true if the display device is a color device. You can also use this method to check whether the browser supports 3D transforms as follows: if ('styleMedia' in window && window.styleMedia.matchMedium("(-webkit-transform-3d)")) {   // Insert 3D code here } Or check to see whether the browser supports animations as follows: if ('styleMedia' in window && window.styleMedia.matchMedium("(-webkit-animation)")) {   // Insert animation code here }
