Hey,

I'm never a big fan of using the ajax setting async: false. When using it, you usually block the browser and it seems like your site 'hangs'. Better to use load icons and the callback functions.

To load a css file I usually just use the get method. Although it is better to just include all you css files in the head of your index file.

To load it dynamically:

1. //Get the data from css file
   
2. $.get('whatever.css', function(css){
3.       //When loaded append the css to head
   
4.       $('head').append('<style  type="text/css">' + css + '</style>');
5.  
6.       //Do whatever!
   
7. });

Still I would advice to just load the css files with the normal link tags in your head tag in the index file.

Hope this helps.

Greetz,

I agree blocking is usually a bad idea. However I need a system to load css and js on demand, which means that you never know what js is going to be called in the callback and block seems to be is the only viable solution.
