@import for stylesheets vs <link>

Gabriel Ambuehl	Saturday 12 March 2005 2:05:14 am Is there a reason why stylesheets get imported via @import rather than <link rel="... ? It seems like all the browsers and wget aren't able to save @imported CSS when saving a page with the result of a completely unstyled page after saving. It seems to work in case of <link rel> stylesheets in my Firefox tests (minus the fact that Firefox is too dumb to figure out it should probably also save the img references in the stylesheets...)...

Xavier Dutoit	Sunday 13 March 2005 4:48:41 am I use @import instead of link as the most buggy browsers (Netscape 4 for instance) don't understand the import statement and therefore won't use the css (and screw the layout). This being said, as NE4 market share is probably very close to 0, I doubt this trick is very useful anymore. Legacy habit I suppose. P.S.

Gabriel Ambuehl	Sunday 13 March 2005 4:52:08 am Ah so that's why it looks entirely unstyled in NS4. Personally, I stopped giving a shit for NS4 users (same for IE4, both are well below 1% market share). Half the web doesn't look anywhere right to them anyway, so why should I spend double the time for the few lost souls? Thanks ;-) Visit http://triligon.org
