Re: [jQuery] Attach a Style Sheet

Glen,

I use a couple methods:

1) Add an empty LINK and the set the href in the script:

$('#mylinkid').attr('href', stylesheetpath);

2) probably better but a little longer:

$('head').append('link id=mylinkid href=stylesheetpath
rel=stylesheet')

I'm sure someone will chime in here and tell me I'm an idiot, at which
point I'll go fix my own code... :-)

 Is there a simple way to attach a style sheet to the page in jQuery?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Glen

 sorry you said stylesheet, but you get the idea. 
 I haven't tested this yet, but it may work.

 jQuery(document.createElement(link))
   .attr({type: text/css,href: my.css,rel:stylesheet})
   .appendTo(head);
   
To make it even more jQuerish:

jQuery(link)
.attr({type: text/css,href: my.css,rel:stylesheet})
.appendTo(head);


 I dont think that works in IE because jQuery will wrap the link in a div
 element. Which is not allowed in the head. FF seems ok with it even thou its
 not correct. try this.
   
It's true that jQuery creates a div first to use it's innerHTML 
property, but that div is not inserted to the document.

 What is the difference between jQuery() and $().  Why should you use one
 over the other?

If you are writting a plugin or patch, then jQuery() should be used.
However, in your own scripts you are encouranged to use the
shorcut/alias $. This makes it easy to change the $ alias to something
else if needed.

I'd say: Use $ whenever you want to prototype something, fast. But as 
soon as you are starting to write your code as plugins, use jQuery 
instead, as that guarantees you compatibilty with other librarys that 
rely on the $ alias.
