Media Type Script

Is anyone familiar with the mediatypechecker.js script that you can download from http://cssmedia.pemor.pl/?
If you want to download it (bottom of that page under the buttons) and test it, here is a simple HTML file to use:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 10 Transitional//EN" "http://wwww3org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitionaldtd">
<html>
<head>
    <script language="JavaScript" src="mediatypechecker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function CheckScreen()
    {
      var result = IsMediaType('screen');
      if(result > 0) alert('screen medium detected (1)');
      else if (result == 0) alert('screen medium not detected (0)');
      else alert('error (-1)');
    }
    function CheckHandheld()
    {
      var result = IsMediaType('handheld');
      if(result > 0) alert('screen handheld detected (1)');
      else if (result == 0) alert('screen handheld not detected (0)');
      else alert('error (-1)');
    }
    </script>

</head>
<body>

            <p><br>Test:</p>
              <br>
              <br>
                <A HREF="javascript:CheckScreen(0);">Check if current CSS medium is 'screen'?</A>
              <br>
              <br>
                <A HREF="javascript:CheckHandheld(0);">Check if current CSS medium is 'Handheld'?</A>

</body>
</html>

I’m trying to figure out how much of the script might be unnecessary for the browsers that are in use today.
