[thelist] Stylesheet switching Jitters

Tue Mar 8 09:33:21 CST 2005

This was a problem listed in A List Apart I suppose. but I cannot
remember its exact location.

<head>
<script></script>
<style>
</style>
</head>

was causing the problem, but reordering the structure was magically solving it:

<head>
<style>
</style>
<script></script>
</head>

can this be relevant for your case?

cheers,
Volkan.
