Removing <link> element with jQuery?

Question

I don\'t want to use styles from style.css, so I decided to remove style.css from DOM. This work just fine in Firefox and IE8, but not in IE6:

$(\"LINK[href=         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps it's something strange IE6 does to URL in the href attribute? Try something like:

$("LINK[href*='style.css']").remove();

(i.e. check whether the href value contains "style.css")

It's just a guess, however. If that doesn't work, I recommend checking the JQuery documentation closely on the subject of attribute selectors and the remove method.

Also keep in mind that it's also not impossible that it's in fact a bug. (IE6 in general causes lots of issues involving JavaScript and DOM manipulation, among other things.)
