Hey there,

The processing instruction will add the link (or script if using ?script) to the page headers during initial page rendering.

If you are creating this content with createComponents (or createComponentsDirectly), you are not creating a page. You are creating a set of components from a page definition.

As a result, that set of components doesn't contain a style component, since it's not in the page definition, but a processing instruction.

You have a few options here. You can move the style into the actual zul content with a style component

plus side: this will add the style as a component in the page, so you can do it at any point (initial page rendering, page update), and it will work through createComponents and derivated methods.

Other option would be to use org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.PageCtrl.addAfterHeadTags(String) (from the page object) to add the tag manually into the page definition.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this will only work during page rendering. If you are loading this content post page creation, use style component instead.
