<stylesheet>

The stylesheet element defines a loadable set of styles which are saved to non-volatile memory and are available for use during a browser session by including the stylesheet element in the body of a page. It is more efficient both in processing and in memory consumption to provide a style sheet.

Example

Included in the body element:

<stylesheet id="whereStyle" src="../../../jin/style/whereStyle.jsp">

Sample content of a remote stylesheet:

<stylesheet>  
      <style id="bodyStyle">  
            <bg>0x000000</bg>  
      </style>  
      <style id="popStyle">  
            <align>left</align>  
            <valign>bottom</valign>    
      </style>  
      <style id ="popListStyle">  
            <border>0</border>  
            <fg>0xFFFFFF</fg>  
            <bg>0x000000</bg>  
            <fgfocus>0xCF5719</fgfocus>  
            <bgfocusimg>http://www.where.com/images/dd/mobile/176/over_bg_menu.png</bgfocusimg>  
            <fontsize>small</fontsize>  
      </style>  
      <style id="listStyle">  
            <border>0</border>  
            <fg>0xFFFFFF</fg>  
            <bg>0x000000</bg>      
            <fgfocus>0xCF5719</fgfocus>

Tips and Tricks

It is recommended that you save the addition of a stylesheet as the last step before making it production ready. The stylesheet will be cached on the phone and can only be removed by clearing the non-volatile memory.

Applying a style to an element will override all cascaded style attributes from parent elements. A style applied to an element, however, will cascade its style to all child elements.
