I would never defend Internet Explorer, but I don't think this is really a big deal. If you have more than 30 style tags on any page, something is very wrong. IE has plenty of bugs and limitations that are much worse than this. :)
- duckuu 17y agoYeah, I agree with you. But think about it, if we have so many style tags in a single page, we did it bad. If IE has this stupid limitation, they did it bad.
- jsdalton 17y agoSomeone brought this point up on proggit, and it was debunked by someone else who pointed out that many developers break their stylesheets up into multiple components for development purposes and then compile and compress them for production. This bug prevents them from testing on IE effectively. Genghis Khan might have had far worse faults than picking his nose at the dinner table, but that still doesn't excuse the behavior.
- wsbail29 17y agoIt's true that more than 30 style tags on a production application is a big problem; however, in development mode it can be useful for debugging and maintainability to break out your stylesheets into granular modules that get concatenated at deploy time. I've personally bumped into this limit in IE in development mode. My solution was to build a dynamic method that concatenated all the stylesheets on the fly if the IE user agent was detected.
