Prevent your print stylesheets from delaying rendering of your website

== Description ==

Many browsers will not render your webpage until the print.css is loaded. Delay Print CSS prevents this from happening. Once your page has fully rendered (including JavaScript, images, etc) your print stylesheets will be loaded.

Using the methods described in a [recent blog post](http://bigredtin.com/behind-the-websites/delay-loading-of-print-css/) this plugin uses JavaScript, with a non JavaScript fallback, to load your stylesheets last.

If your WordPress site uses jQuery then it is used to load the stylesheets, otherwise the plugin outputs its own JavaScript.

== Installation ==

Upload delay-print-css to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory of your install.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

In your theme or plugin, use `wp_register_style` and/or `wp_enqueue_style` to load your CSS. This requires you to remove any html <link> tags you have in your theme and add the following code to your functions.php file:

`function mytheme_enqueue_css(){
  if (!is_admin()){
    wp_enqueue_style (
      'mytheme-print', /* handle */
      '/path-to/print.css', /* source */
      null, /* no requirements */
      '1.0', /* version */
      'print' /* media type */
    );
  }
}
add_action('wp_print_styles', 'mytheme_enqueue_css');`

To wrap your stylesheet in conditional tags, add the following below the wp_enqueue_style call in your new function

`global $wp_styles;
$wp_styles->registered['mytheme-print']->extra['conditional'] = 'IE 6'`

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I use jQuery but the plugin outputting its own JavaScript =

You may not be loading your JavaScript the WordPress way. If `wp_enqueue_script` means nothing to you, then have a read of a [tutorial I wrote on the subject](http://bigredtin.com/behind-the-websites/javascript-the-wordpress-way-part-1/)

= My stylesheets aren't been loaded any differently =

Make sure you are using `wp_enqueue_style` to load your CSS, an explanation is in the Installation section of this readme file.

= Can I use IE conditional comments =

Yes. If you set your stylesheet to be for a particular version of IE, this plugin will respect that.

= Is this plugin safe to use on a production site? =

This plugin was written as a proof of concept, has a sub 1.0 version number and has been tested for a few common situations only. I don't use it on a production website but let me know of your experiences if you choose to.
