I don't know that would work, Karl. It would have to be either at the bottom of the page, as the elements wouldn't be in the dom yet if it was just up top. But, that did inspire an idea. If you want to keep the compliance, you could try the following:
<head> <title>Test</title> <script type="text/javascript"> var css = document.createElement('link'); css.setAttribute('rel','stylesheet'); css.setAttribute('type', 'text/css'); css.setAttribute('href', '/path/to/css/file.css'); document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(css); </script> </head> <body> <div id="media-gallery"> <h2>Media Gallery</h2> <ul> <li> <a href="HYPERLINK"><img src="IMG SOURCE" /></a> </li> <li> <a href="HYPERLINK"><img src="IMG SOURCE" /></a> </li> </ul> </div> </body> Then, inside the CSS file you're including with javascript, put: #media-gallery img { display: none; } This will prevent the flickering effect, and only hide them when JS is enabled. function loadjscssfile(filename, filetype){ if (filetype=="js"){ //if filename is a external JavaScript file var fileref=document.createElement('script') fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript") fileref.setAttribute("src", filename) } else if (filetype=="css"){ //if filename is an external CSS file var fileref=document.createElement("link") fileref.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet") fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/css") fileref.setAttribute("href", filename) } if (typeof fileref!="undefined") } On Apr 28, 7:26 am, Rick Faircloth <r...@whitestonemedia.com> wrote: > >> In the <head> you can do this: > >> <script type="text/javascript"> document.documentElement.className = > 'js';</script> > >> Then you can set styles for elements as descendants of .js. > > Karl...will you explain a little more about what this means and perhaps give > an > example of its implementation?
