    OK, you mean
    MediaDesc

    Attribute values of type MediaDesc are media descriptors — a
    comma-separated list of media for which the linked resource is
    tailored. Media descriptors are case-sensitive.

    The following media descriptors are defined in HTML 4:

    • screen, for non-paged computer screens;
    • tty, for fixed-pitch character grid displays (such as the display used by Lynx);
    • tv, for television-type devices with low resolution and limited scrollability;
    • projection, for projectors;
    • handheld, for handheld devices (characterized by a small display and limited bandwidth);
    • print, for output to a printer;
    • braille, for braille tactile feedback devices;
    • aural, for speech synthesizers;
    • all, for all devices.

    from http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/values.html

    At first I thought you were asking about CONTENT types, like text/html, image/jpeg, audio/mpeg, video/quicktime, text/css, and text/javascript.
