3It's not very clear what exactly you're trying to achieve and *why* you want to do this. Please add more details, so that somebody can help you with an appropriate solution. – insertusernamehere Oct 26 '13 at 11:25

I think what you're saying is: using your example code it inserts as inline styles rather than creating its own external style sheet with the style that is then applied to your DOM.
If so read this. It's from 1996 (woo!) but shows how to create <style> elements using javascript (so your CSS will live in the HTML <head> and not be inline. In terms of using Javascript to create external stylesheets? No idea, hopefully someone else can help.
Edit: found this on SO: How to create a <style> tag with Javascript so no need to rely on something from '96.
