adding a stylesheet to an IFRAME

[Vincent van Beveren]

Hey everyone,

Currently I'm writing some software that appends an IFRAME to a document
(though DOM). The IFRAME is empty. Now I want to assign a stylesheet to
that document, but I don't know what the 'best' way would be (read: the
most complient to standard). I could ofcourse use document.write to fill
the document with a head and <LINK> tags. I could also create LINK tag
through DOM create element and attach that, or I could use
createStyleShee t. Which looks like an IE only method. They all seem a
bit odd to me. Anyone?

Thanks,
Vincent

My vote goes to the DOM. It is fast, clean and easy if you follow the rules.
You probably want to use DOM for other manipulations too.
document.write( ) is reputedly more demanding of the engine, requires
escaping of quotes etc.
Odd indeed, but nevertheless.
