- The primary goal was to create an easy way to include multi-line (lots) of CSS using Javascript.
- Can reduce number of files in a JS plugin or project (My goal was one).
- A test run at jsperf.com shows that injecting CSS rules for a vast number of elements is very fast: http://jsperf.com/inject-vs-apply/2
require(['injectCSS'], function(injectCSS) {
injectCSS(function(){/*
.case1 {
border: 3px solid #0f0;
}
*/});
injectCSS('.case2 { border: 3px solid #00f; } ');
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script src="injectCSS.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="test case1">test case 1</div>
<div class="test case2">test case 2</div>
<script>
(function(){
injectCSS(function(){/*
.case1 {
border: 3px solid #0f0;
}
*/});
injectCSS('.case2 { border: 3px solid #00f; } ');
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Due to the older IE browsers not allowing the innerHTML property to be set on certain elements, this will not work in them.
