[jQuery] Removing CSS files from DOM (IE6)

[AntonB]

So I thought I would be a bit tricky with this CMS we have at work and
remove some of the rubbish CSS style sheets that it spits out. jQuery
to the rescue.

var cssRemove = "limbo.css";

$("link").each(function(){
        if ($(this).attr("href").match(cssRemove))
                $(this).remove();
                        });

Only to my dismay, I realize that this solution doesn't work in IE6. I
trolled through the Interweb but couldn't really find any working
solution so decided to give it a bit of a whirl and this solution
seems to work for me.

var cssRemove = "limbo.css";

$("link").each(function(){
        if ($(this).attr("href").match(cssRemove))
                $(this).attr("href", "");
                        });

I guess I wanted to share it with anyone else who encounters the same
problem.

Anyone know why this is happening? Does IE6 struggle to refresh the
DOM when removing <link> and <script> tags?
