CSS caching by browsers

[Raffles]

Hi, I was wondering about this but can't find any info on it.

Do browsers cache stylesheets only when they are linked using <link>? Or will they cache CSS in <style> tags (including CSS imported using @import)? And what about inline styles?

Cheers.

If it's in an external file, whether you use link or style, it'll be cached. Inline and internal styles will only be cached with the page that they're written into. Once the page has been visited, it'll be in the cache too, but the internal or inline styles will only be available to that page.

Cool, thanks.
