[thelist] Link Stylesheets

[Joshua Olson]

The browser sends out a separate request for the style sheet and downloads
it into cache.  The browser then uses the information it contains to stylize
all on-page elements.  It is not downloaded or referenced across the web for
each element on the page.

Therefore, even if you have an appreciable number of tags on the page, you
should not see lag above and beyond the normal time required to render a
complex and lengthy page.

: Maybe someone can help me with this...I am trying to find out exactly how
a
: stylesheet is referenced by the browser when using the <link
: rel="stylesheet" etc..> within the HTML document.  Does the browser
actually
: downloads the stylesheet or does the browser just "query" the stylesheet
for
: each and every HTML tag?
