Avoiding CSS file downloads (enabled=false)

[Mark Davis]

When all our instances of RadEditor have their "enabled" property set to false, we would like to avoid bringing down the Vista skin and default CSS files (via WebResource.axd), since these are not required, are not compressed/crunched and have an impact on our PLT1 times.

Currently, the RadEditor does this with script files - they are only downloaded if there is an enabled editor on the page - how can we also get this behavior for the CSS files?

FYI, these are the two links that appear on the page:

Hi Mark,

The just released Q2 2008 (its release is today) features this functionality - when RadEditor's Enabled = false, no CSS is rendered and sent to the client. If you start using the Q2, you will get the desired results right away.

Sincerely yours,
