Alternative Stylesheets Cascading Mini Test

If you have any comments to make regarding this test, e-mail ian@hixie.ch.

Prerequisites

Browsers that are subjected to this test should support the CSS color properties, grouping CSS selectors (a, b, c { }), the HTML LINK element method of importing stylesheets, the @import rule, alternative stylesheets, and the display property (well, at least it's none value).

Note. This is also test 51 of the ImportTest.

1. The Test

Currently selected alternative stylesheet:

When you switch alternative stylesheets, the list above should reflect the change (only one item should be visible, that of the selected alternate stylesheet set). Note that in this mini test, there are only 5 alternative stylesheets: 1, 4, 10, 17 and 22.

In the following list, every item should be green. However often you switch stylesheets, they should still be green. Green, green, green. All of them. Red is a sign of a disaster.

1. Should be green - Persistent Stylesheet.
2. Should be green - Persistent Stylesheet.
3. Should be green - Linked from every alternative stylesheet.
4. Should be green - Linked from every alternative stylesheet.
5. Should be green - Linked from every alternative stylesheet.
6. Should be green - Persistent Stylesheet.
7. Should be green - Persistent Stylesheet.

To check your browser is working, select each stylesheet set in turn, checking that all 7 entries above are green each time. Then, select the stylesheets in reverse order, checking each time that each entry is green. Finally, and this is the fun part, select the entries in a random order, and once more, check that each entry is always green. This must be the most boring and tedious test of the whole ImportTest!

Submit Results

If no alternate stylesheet interface is available, then ignore the red that appears.
