Change/Add Style Sheet with JavaScript

2 New Member
Hello all,

I have a variable 'css' that reads a url for a style sheet. I need to add the 'css' style sheet to the cascade using JavaScript.

Is there a clean way to do that?

Thanks.

  1. function addLink(url){
  2.     var el= document.createElement('link');
  3.     var atts= {rel:'stylesheet',type:'text/css',media:'screen',href:url};
  4.     for(var p in atts) el[p]= atts[p];
  5.     document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(el);
  6.     return el;
  7. }
You can make this a method of some object instead of a global function, if that seems cleaner to you.

This is a strange question, and I think the answer is NO, but I am asking anyway. I am a member of a website which allows us to alter our member profiles. Using css in the middle of the profile area allows one to overide the normal formatting of the entire page and truly customize it. But there is a span-style tag which gives an ugly blue background to certain text which I want to get rid of. This is the tag: <span...

As you can see it is designed to detect when the screen resolution falls below a certain level then load an alternative style sheet HOWEVER, is it possible to make a change to the code that will not only make it respond to windows with widths of less than 800 pixels but ALSO heights of less than 600 pixels. I'm a complete novice when it comes to .js so and help would...

So a while ago I created a Tab Strip Control (before the AjaxToolkit had theirs otherwise I would have probably just used theirs). When I looked at the AjaxToolkit control to see how they got around this problem I discovered that they're using Animations.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
