hi guys,
i have a question regarding prototype and the Ajax.Updater.
When the requested page contains <style> definitions they are not
applied after the update. Seems logic to me because the styles are
loaded when the page was rendered.
Do you know a way of how to apply the styles again ..
thanks!

Have you used an inspector type tool (like Firebug) to verify that
your markup is correct and corresponds the CSS you are expecting?

Technically, style tags belong in the <head>, I wouldn't be surprised if
they didn't work when inserted into the body.

That's how the Rails auto_complete_thingy works; it inserts the same <style>
block before each auto-complete field.

(No, guys, if Rails just jumped off a cliff I wouldn't follow. ;-)

Style tags can be anywhere they need to be, even though they're supposed to be in the <head> of the document. And as long as they're available at page load, then things'll work fine. I'm not sure how to load them via ajax and apply them, though.

hey guys thanks for your replies. i know i am a little late but i had
no time yet.
my problem still exists and i wonder if it is somehow possible to
apply styles after i bunged in some HTML (incl style-block) with ajax
into my page.

@justin: the styles are correct and work fine. if I bung them into the
calling page then everything works fine...
