Hi All,

Is there any advantage to testing the availability of styling before running 
scripts?

The scenario I'm thinking of is JS available but no CSS, either unavailable or 
switched off.
Something like:

var cssOn;

var gotStyle=function(){

  function init(){
    // Simon Willisons - http://simonwillison.net/2004/May/26/addLoadEvent/
    function addLoadEvent(f){var o=window.onload;if(typeof 
window.onload!='function'){window.onload=f;}else{window.onload=function(){if(o){o();}f();};}}

    // mike foskett - 
http://websemantics.co.uk/resources/useful_javascript_functions/
    function hasCSS(){var 
d=document.createElement('div');d.id="hasCSS";document.body.appendChild(d);var 
o=document.getElementById("hasCSS"),v=false;if(window.getComputedStyle){v=(window.getComputedStyle(o,null).getPropertyValue('display')==='none');}else{if(o.currentStyle){v=(o.currentStyle.display==='none');}}document.body.removeChild(d);return
 v;}

    addLoadEvent(function(){
                cssOn=hasCSS();
    });

  }

  return{
    init:init
  };

}();

gotStyle.init();


In the CSS:
                #hasCSS {display:none}



The above:
                1. waits for page load
2. appends a test element
3. applies a style to it
4. tests for the applied style
5. sets the global variable accordingly
6. removes the test element



Regards,

Mike
