Hi vyang,

Probably. ;-) I'm not into the details as I never needed to do such thing, nor I properly checked if Batik provides convenience methods for achieving that but you seem to have several ways [1] of loading a style sheet. So, while perhaps you *may* be able to rework the XML PI (in theory it's not part of the document so I'm not sure how can one access it as it shouldn't be in the DOM -- didn't check/test for this theory, though), I'm not sure if Batik (and other implementations) will behave properly when messing with the document this way. I'd recommend dynamically inserting a link, using the DOM, which changes the external style sheet definition: <style type="text/css">@import url(svgstyle.css);</style> Note that, when using this approach (also found in the already stated link [1]), the previous style sheet will still be active, you'll simply be inserting a new one. This means that one should be careful to ensure that all declarations, or at least all the ones you which to "reload", are in the several available style sheets (so that they override previous definitions).
