Did You Know Internet Explorer 6 Limits How Many Stylesheets Are Loaded?

As a matter of fact, I did not.

Worse, IE7 apparently does the same thing.

It’s funny how much time I spent looking for a much more obscure IE6 problem (you know, one like the other 1,001 IE6 problems) when the evidence of this one was staring me in the face. It took a while before I thought of googling “IE6 too many stylesheets bug”, because who would impose an arbitrary thirty-stylesheet limit? What would be the point of that?

I never saw it coming. Touché, Microsoft engineers!
