Problem dynamically loading style sheet

Hank Flowers

In trying to load a style sheet via JavaScript I ran into a problem...the
style sheet doesn't load. This simple task has turned into a vexing problem.
Here is the script and html:

<html>
<head>
<title>load a style sheet</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaS cript">
var mystyle="css/mystyle.css";
document.write= ("<link rel='stylesheet ' href='" + mystyle + "'
type='text/css'>");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p class="foobar"> display some text in the foobar class</p>
</body>
</html>

This is so simple it almost has to work, but it doesn't. I'm suspecting
either the browser is the problem (IE5.5) or maybe it has something to do
with being a local file or both or none of the above...dunno. Can anybody
see anything wrong here?

TIA!

It's not document.write= (xxx
It's document.write( xxx
Leave out the equal sign.

dynamically generated keys in xslt?

by: alex | last post by:

I'm new to xslt, and I am attempting to use it to produce a comma-separated-value file from a large, dynamically-generated data file formatted in xml (examples of the xml file and my xslt style sheet follow). It works pretty well, but xsltproc takes an extremely long time to process the data file when it grows fairly large (>1MB). I've read that using keys can improve processing time on large documents, however I don't know the number of...

The following html code appears in an ASP page.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
