I get this error when using the w3 validator: document type does not allow element "link" here

I mean, I know style links are suppossed to be in the head, but for an RoR project, it’s more.. efficient? to only load what you need? cause, lets say, A stylesheet is loaded in a partial. and that partial is used on multiple pages. It makes sense, as far as DRYing things up goes, to include the stylesheet with the partial.

But it seems like DRYing things goes against W3C.

What do I do?

    You shouldn’t be putting <link> elements into your content like that. You can use ERB’s blocks to yield the content into another part of your layout template, like this:

    <% content_for :head do %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'my_partial_styles' %>
<% end %>

<p>Your partial content...</p>

    In your application layout, you can yield this content where it belongs:

    <head>
<%= yield :head %>
</head>
