Removing or replacing a stylesheet (a <link>) with JavaScript/jQuery

I managed to do it with:

$('link[title="mystyle"]').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

it seems this is the only way to remove the styles from memory. then I added:

$('link[title="mystyle"]').remove();

to remove the element too.

To cater for ie you have to set the stylesheet to be disabled as it keeps the css styles in memory so removing the element will not work, it can also cause it to crash in some instances if I remember correctly.

This also works for cross browser.

e.g

document.styleSheets[0].disabled = true;

//so in your case using jquery try

$('link[title=mystyle]')[0].disabled=true;
