disallow access to all by Nathan on 08-13-2007 at 11:14 AM

Hey,
Basically I was wondering if it is possible to stop people going to you're css file but allow a script too access it.

Help :)

Thanks

So name the actual use :p.

CSS is a client-side thing, the browser needs to be able to access it. Theoretically you could do something with referrals: only allow access if a referral from you site is sent. If somebody requests the CSS file directly the browser won't send a referral, so access is blocked.
However, I strongly advise you not to do that. Some users disable referrals and some anti virus software like McAfee is known to change referrals too, it will break your site for some users. Like dt said, nobody will care about your CSS that much anyway. And people will still be able to access the CSS with referral anyway, so the security is pointless.
