linking to external CSS using insertCSS

[dmitry b]

Hi,

Is it possible to link to a css file using insertCSS rather than
inline the content of that file (seems the default current behavior).
The problem is that CSS is inlined, relative URLs inside the CSS will
be resolved relative to the HTML document. However, if CSS is linked
via <link rel="stylesheet" href="chrome-extension://asdfcasldcasdrwe/
mystyles.css> relative URLs inside of mystyles.css will be properly
resolved relatively to the .css file.


Thanks
Dmitry

Have you tried dynamically adding the <link> to the stylesheet? You could use programmatic injection for that: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/content_scripts.html#pi

You can get the URL to your stylesheet using http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/extension.html#method-getURL.

Yes, that's how I'm doing it now. But I'm interested in knowing how
to do this with chrome's insertCSS without a work-around.
