google viewer and css

[HuhuFruFru]

i love the google viewer, but i discovered that it doesn't recognize css - is there a reason for this?

I take it you mean [labs.google.com...]

Using IE5 (I'm a Google Toolbar addict), I find that the sites work OK with their CSS. Is there a type of CSS that you've found problems with?

I see what you mean. The viewer panel is not picking up CSS on my sites either. Not good.

I also think there is a problem here, my sites with external stylesheets do not work (IE5). Google seems to modify the pages before showing them in the iframe, and <link rel
becomes <xlink rel and javascript is omitted.
Maybe the problem is only if the page is also doctype HTML4 transitional, because xlink is no element of it. (The same pages work in Wisenut)

Besides, I think that they should think twice before they make this "alpha". Caching documents is one thing, and you can at least disallow it. But showing modified pages while claiming you show a preview of the original is clear copyright infringement imho. If they filter out all the "break out of other peoples frames"-javascripts, for example, it is surely against the intention of the designer/webmmaster who put them there exactly to disallow something like google viewer.
