I've done this in the past, but I'd recommend not bothering. Instead, as part of your deployment process, you can simply concatenate all your JS into one file, and all your CSS into another. Make sure your server is configured to serve these files with compression, and that it uses proper caching headers. Most browsers are configured to request no more than 2 files at a time from a single server. If you split your JS & CSS over many files, that slows down page loading. Even with caching, the browser needs to make a requets and get a 304 back. If you serve just one file, it will be downloaded on their first visit and cached afterwards. Just make sure that you do something like change the file's path for each deployment. You can, for example, configure the web server to internally redirect all requests for /css/.+/foo.css to /css/foo.css. The bit in the middle can be the revision number of the latest release or something like that. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
