105305 - view/use stylesheet doesn't show untitled style sheets

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Nikita Borisov]

When viewing this URL, the "View/Use Stylesheet" menu looks like:

---
[*] None
---

despite the fact that clearly a stylesheet is being used for this page.  I think
the problem is that the LINK element doesn't specify a title for the sheet:

 <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="/u/mvcorks/style.css">

On pages where the LINK element includes a title attribute, the menu works fine.

This is not a bug.  Stylesheets with titles and stylesheets without titles are
different.  See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#h-14.3.2 .   A
stylesheet without a title is persistent and a stylesheet with a title is
preferred or alternate.  The "Use Stylesheet" menu is designed to allow
switching between preferred/alternate stylesheets as described in HTML4.
