Description
Appending a linked stylesheet to the <head> of a page is broken on IE (tested on IE7 and IE8) in jQuery 1.4.1. Used to be fine in 1.3.2.
Example:
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <h1>jQuery bug</h1> <script type="text/javascript">
$('head').append('<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />');
</script> </body> </html>
or
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <h1>jQuery bug</h1> <script type="text/javascript">
$('<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />').appendTo('head');
</script> </body> </html>
In both cases, the appended stylesheet is not applied in IE. Of course, this all works fine when you use decent browsers (like FF and Chrome).

Now with formatting, for better readability:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> </head>
<body>
<h1>jQuery bug</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('head').append('<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />');
</script>
</body>
</html>

Just tested this with 1.4.2, both issues have been resolved. Thank you very much!

I still see this issue in 1.4.2 when updating the inner html of an element and that new html contains linked stylesheet(s). Again the stylesheet is not applied in IE7/8. Works fine in ff,safari,chrome.
Example:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET', url: hash, dataType: 'html', cache: false, success: function (data){
/* data = <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/> <div>...blah blah...</div> */
$('#' + t).html(data);
}
});

Can you confirm this bug in 1.4.3 in a jsFiddle testcase? thanks!

easy fix
if (document.createStyleSheet)
document.createStyleSheet('stylesheet.css');
else
$("head").append('<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />');
This is only an issue in older IE browsers.
Real developers dont pick THEIR browser preference, they develop for all browsers ;)

Just good option apply css head tag in jQuery
How can we apply this in to iframe src content?
Advance thanks to you
There's another weird issue here. Consider the same code as above:
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <h1>jQuery bug</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
</script> </body> </html>
When this page is hosted on a secure server (https) and visited with Explorer, it issues a "mixed content" popup. As explained above, the stylesheet is *NOT* applied in this case either (no difference in allowing or declining the mixed content).
