Hi! I’m developing facebook apps with ruby on rails. My connection is really slow. The stylesheets do not load mosts of the time. So i want to print out the content of my .css-files in Tags. Is this possibe with some parameter to the stylesheet_link_tag or an other tag?

My understanding is that stylesheet link tags *never* work in Facebook canvas apps. You have to include them inline.

I don't think there is a built in way to do it, but you could use stylesheet_path in conjunction with RAILS_ROOT and File.read to write a little helper method to do it.

Something like...

def inline_stylesheet(source)    "<style type='text/css'>" +    File.read("#{RAILS_ROOT}#{stylesheet_path(source)}") +    "</style>" end

For normal stylesheet link tags works fine in facebook. In our production environment this is no problem. Also it wasn’t a problem for a long time from my development-system. But when i started to include kontagent the whole thing slows really down.

Thanks for your approach - I hoped that there is an easier way out there :slight_smile:
