where:

Argument	Data type	Description	Default

Example 1

To add a link to some style sheet at a specific URL, you could use:

$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet( 'http://www.example.com/css/mystylesheet.css' );

How this is rendered depends on the document type. If the document type is HTML then this code will produce following link in the HTML HEAD section:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.example.com/css/mystylesheet.css" type="text/css" />

Example 2

From a template, you can add a link to a style sheet using a relative URL, like this:

$this->addStyleSheet( 'templates/' . $this->template . '/css/mystylesheet.css' );

The $this object will be an object of type JDocumentHTML when called from within a template.
