Create, replace and remove spreadsheets in most modern desktop browsers. It was designed specifically to address several issues in IE8+.
In dist there exists minified and non-minified versions which support AMD and CommonJS loaders.
If no loader is used, then the API will be available through a stylesheet global. There is also an "unwrapped" distributable which gives you the freedom in how you structure your closure to define a module.
This module currently supports IE8+ and other modern desktop browsers, however if you find issues on any mobile browsers, please raise an issue.
Create a new stylesheet and append it to the head element.
Example:
stylesheet.appendStyleSheet('body { background-color: red; }', function(err, style) {
if (err) {
// Do your error handling here.
} else {
// The style was successfully created.
}
}Create a new stylesheet and insert it before the specified node. If no node is specified, the new stylesheet will be appended to the head element.
Example:
stylesheet.insertStyleSheetBefore(document.getElementById('foo'), 'body { background-color: red; }', function(err, style) {
if (err) {
// Do your error handling here.
} else {
// The style was successfully inserted.
}
}Create a new stylesheet and replace the specified node. If no node is specified, the new stylesheet will be appended to the head element.
Note: This function works by deleting the existing stylesheet and replacing the new stylesheet in its place. This means that any attribute (other than type) will not exist on the new stylesheet.
As demonstrated in the example below, this can be solved by setting any attributes after the stylesheet is created.
If this approach can not work for you, please raise an issue.
Example:
var id = 'foo'
stylesheet.replaceStyleSheet(document.getElementById(id), 'body { background-color: red; }', function(err, style) {
if (err) {
// Do your error handling here.
} else {
// The stylesheet was successfully replaced. Set any attributes which may have been lost.
style.setAttribute('id', id);
}
}Remove the specified stylesheet.
Example:
stylesheet.removeStyleSheet(document.getElementById('foo'));For awareness of KB262161, if 31 or more total stylesheets exist when invoking appendStyleSheet, insertStyleSheetBefore or replaceStyleSheet, an error will be thrown in ANY browser. If you really want to disable this error (for non-IE), set this property to true. The default value is false.
Example:
stylesheet.ignoreKB262161 = true;- support this module in bower and component package management/repositories
- cross-browser unit testing
- attributes of the replaced stylesheet can be copied to the new stylesheet (Unfortunately this is unlikely to happen soon due to odd behaviour I have witnessed in IE around attributes)
