Hello,

Using CSS @media queries rather than conditional JS-CSS style 
modification if matching some body.scrollWidth statement, styling for 
different screens is much simplified. For example:

@media (max-width: 300px){
#my_menu{
backgroundImage='url(small.png')';
}
}

But there are still situations where it may be necessary to dynamically 
change styles to elements via JS. Normally I would do:
document.getElementById("my_menu").style.backgroundImage='url(another.png)';

In combination with media queries, however, the above also changes style 
properties relating to any media queries above 300 pixels, which I don't 
want it to. As such, is it possible to change #my_menu element including the 
CSS @media condition so that the @media (max-width: 300px) is properly 
expressed and applied to the document via Javascript? If so, how can this be 
done?

Many thanks,
Tuxedo
