68185 - Link element's HREF is not supported in XHTML

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XML, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Petersen]

Build: 2001020804
Platform: All
Expected result: HREF attribute should work in the Link element. This is a away
a user would specify a external css file.
What I got: The css which is referenced by the HREF attribute is not applied.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Save the xml test case and css file to local drive.

2) Open xml test file.

3) The H3 and P element are rendered with assigned css properties/values.

Duplicates bug 36790.

Comment 5

[Chris Petersen]

The only difference I see is that the STYLE element is present in 36790. This 
report talks about the external css not being applied.

Comment 6

[Chris Petersen]

Nominating for beta 1. External stylesheets must be supported in XHTML.

You can use external stylesheets with the xml-stylesheet processing instruction,
see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-stylesheet/

Have you resolved how style sheets from LINK and <?xml-stylesheet ...?> 
PI's should be combined?

I don't believe this behavior is defined in any specifications,
although I would _expect_ that they would be combined simply
according to the order in which they appear in the document --
PI's first, followed by the LINKs, otherwise weighted equally.

Does that make sense to everyone?

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

Ian: Sounds reasonable. The stylesheet PI's are only allowed in the document
prolog, so they will always precede the link elements. Otherwise it shouldn't
matter if you use PIs or link elements or both.

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Ian: FYI, there are at least 6 non-dynamic ways of linking stylesheets:

   Link: HTTP headers
   <?xml-stylesheet?> PIs
   <meta http-equiv="Link"> elements
   <link rel="stylesheet"> elements
   <style> @import "" </style> blocks
   <style src=""> elements (non-standard)

Fun, huh. They can all appear in the same document, too. And all of them can
be alternate stylesheets, for extra fun...

Probably common usage.  Will schedule fix.
