At the moment the DOM doesn't support this kind of UA. There is only one View -- the defaultView, which in Web Apps is defined as being the same as the global window object -- and thus only one set of computed styles, and thus only one set of stylesheets that apply. Frankly I would consider such a UA to be non-compliant if it used the same window object for both rendering modes. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
