Is there an equivalent of eval for css styles?
<p>I have a style element that is loaded from an external resource, and I want to apply it's styles without putting it inline.</p>

<p>For instance <code>&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="my.css" /&gt;</code> will load a css file and apply it's rules without putting it inline and <code>&lt;script src="zepto.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code> will do the same for javascript.</p>

<p>If you load an external bit of js, you can evaluate it using <code>eval()</code> even though that's frowned upon.</p>

<p>But when one loads an external bit of styling, I don't know how to evaluate it except to add it to the dom.</p>

<p>So is there a similar function for styles as eval is to scripts?  Does anyone know a good hack to get the same effect?</p>

<p>Anything is fine as long as the styling applies without it showing up in the dom.</p>
