Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Multiple style sheets

[Adam M. <ad...@tu...>]

I like the implementation.  This way if you have 2 browsers who can share
a style sheet you don't have to make one for "browser a" and one for
"browser b".  I have a question though...does it still relative link the
style sheet or are you writing it to the {STYLE} variable as a
<style></style>?  If you relative link to the file, most browsers seem to
read this file only once and cache it.  But if it is included as a <style>
tag, the browser is forced to get this on every page hit.  Might be
something to talk about?
