Remote Linking CSS in the <body> area.

Syody · #1 (**permalink**) Jun 16th, 2005, 15:56

I am working on a website that forces me to use their program (eznettools.net).

I cannot modify the <head> tag so I can't add CSS. Is there a way to insert a chunk of HTML, JavaScript, or PHP in the body area that will link to a .css file?

I know HTML and CSS, but Javascript and PHP are beyond me.

Thank you very much for reading this.

I don't think you *have* to put a css link in the head - try adding it somewhere else... it's merely compliant to put it in the head. Worth a try anyway!

try adding the css inline instead of including a css file, for example:

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
.myClass {
      font-family:tahoma;
}
</style>

Yeah, but that still needs to go in the head, doesn't it?

well, yeah, it should do, but it might work in the body...

or you could try inline styles - not my favourites

Inline Styles: They won't work because I need to modify the body and link properties.

Smokie: I'll give it a try. I've never bothered with standards before; no reason to start now. *Ironic grin*

Tell you how it works.

Posting the link to the CSS works! Yes! Thank you so much, Smokie.

To be honest.... this would be the standards compliant way:-

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.styleSheets[0].href = 'newstyles.css'
</script>

Whaaaa? Are you sure? I've never seen Javascript used to call a stylesheet, even in the most insanely accessible sites.

It's always something like this: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/StyleSheets/home.css" />

^^ That was taken from W3.org.

Or are you referring to an instance when it's used between the <body></body> tags?
