create CSS declaration in JavaScript (in IE6)?

[stephen.cunliffe]

Hi all,

Quick question. I know that IE6's support for CSS is well... hmmm...
lets just say not very good, however I was wondering if style
declarations can be added at run time, via JS?

e.g.
Can I create a new rule?

Thanks,
Steve

Yes, you can, IE supports the document.styleSheets collection and each
sheet object has a method addRule e.g.
styleSheetObject.addRule('selector', 'declarations')
see the MSDN documentation
