[Interest] QWebView and Joomla pages

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Thanks Kai,

thanks for the quick reply!
I'd be quite happy to read the CSS files from the server rather than 
injecting locally, but I know little about CSS and the website has a 
whole bunch that all happily cross import things.
I have attached the css folder from the website as that will tell you 
more than my ramblings

If it's possible to simply point QWebView to that online folder and make 
sense of it on the fly, I would be perfectly happy.

Otherwise I guess I will have to figure out how to merge all these 
things into a master css.

Cheers,
frank
