i think this is a CSS question
i want people to be able to load different styles for my site.
if i make 5 .css files and have 5 buttons on my site can it change the style sheet according to the button they press.
can you control images in .css files? if so HOW?
thanks alotYou would have to have 5 different pages for the 5 different styles.
To use CSS to control ALL images you can do something like this:
<style type="text/css"><!--
img{width:100px;height:100px;}
--></style>To change the styles, you will need to use either javascript or a serverside language. The latter is MUCH better, as it will work for those without javascript enabled (13%). On <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdevfaqs.com">http://www.webdevfaqs.com</a><!-- m --> we did this useing PHP to set a cookie with their preferences set.ok thanksYou bet...

I believe thats OK as long as javascript is just for changing the look of the site... something superficial. It should not be used for some key element of site (such as navigation)Yes, but my philosophy on it would be why use javascript for things that can be done serverside? I can see no benefit to using javascript over PHP (or any other apporopriate serverside language). But, I agree, if the site still continues to function, it's not a big deal if users with javascript disabled are not able to change the stylesheets used to present the page.so can someone help or point me in the right direction on how to do this.
With PHP, it would go like this:
Set up your links to change the styles something like this:
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"changecss.php?file=default>default style</a>
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"changecss.php?file=stylesheetname>change style</a>
Where changecss.php looks like this:
<?PHP
$loc = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
$css = $_GET["file"];
setcookie("stylesheets",$css,time()+31536000); #one year
header ("Location:$loc");
?>Then, on each page, include this bit of PHP where the stylesheets should be displayed (<head>):
<?PHP
if(isset($_COOKIE["stylesheets"])) {
$val = $_COOKIE["stylesheets"];
if ($val == "stylesheetname") {
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/\"stylesheetname.css\" type=\"text/css\">";
}
else {
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/\"default.css\" type=\"text/css\">";
}
}
else {
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/\"default.css\" type=\"text/css\">";
}
?>ok thanks.
