How to load css files with AJAX using jQuery

July 22, 2010

This week I was building a music player widget with jQuery and decided to make multiple skins available for people to choose from.

I figured I needed to dynamically load the css files with AJAX when the widget is initialized.

This is what I came up with:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
	$.ajax({
		url:"style.css",
		success:function(data){
			 $("<style></style>").appendTo("head").html(data);
		}
	})
})
</script>
