I was trying to figure out how to get the 'right CSS' applied to the doc.  I 
see now that including the 'how' part put me off topic.  My bad.  My 
apologies.

Best regards,

Not in CSS, so that is off-topic.

However, I don't see it as a big problem. On the server side try to
fetch the stylesheet and if the result is zilch just write out the
local one. You could even do it in AJAX, but that is a bit pointless
as you need a server side component anyways (as AJAX cannot reach
files outside the same domain).

[css-d] Possible to overriding embedded SS with external SS?

2006-05-17 Thread Bill Walton
I'm pretty sure this is bass-ackwards, but I need to be able to over-ride an 
embedded stylesheet with an external one, if the external one exists.  I was 
thinking it might be possible to do using javascript something like this...

The embedded stylesheet would be included in the js code.  On page load, the 
script checks to see if the external stylesheet exists and then either writes 
it or the included one to the page's . 

Anybody have any experience with /  thoughts about the viability of this 
approach?  Happy to explain more about the problem / constraints if desired.

Thanks in advance,
Bill
