Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Loading CSS for AJAX apps.

Ya, I have looked at that code in scriptaculous.js but it seems that that class only uses document.write to put the new links in...

require: function(libraryName) {

// inserting via DOM fails in Safari 2.0, so brute force approach

document.write('<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>');

}

and that doesnt seem to be of any help in dynamicly loading CSS or JS via an AJAX call.

the "load" function just does a version check and get the path for loading the rest of the files.

Nice. I'd like to hear of any cross-browser support issues, or lack
of. I can see this being useful in my application if it works. Has
anyone tried this in Safari?

Look at scriptaculous.js for a cross browser way of doing this. It's
specifically doing it with JS files, but I imagine CSS is similar.
