You'd really need to ask this in the JavaScript forum.

Hope this helps,

I just do this (ASP) in an include file

Code:

<%'  include page for the style sheets %>
<link href="/include/styles/style-main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="/include/styles/style-include.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="/include/styles/style-nav.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<% if styleID > 0 then
dim GroupNum
GroupNum = GetGroup(CatID)
%>
<link href="/include/styles/style-<%=GroupNum(0,0)%>.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<%
end if
%>

the variables are set from the database and the style sheet is named accordingly.

Ah well... here's what I had anyway using JS:

Code:

<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
		function loadCSS() {
			var linkEl = document.createElement('link');
			document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(linkEl);
			linkEl.setAttribute('type', 'text/css', 0);
			linkEl.setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet', 0);
			linkEl.setAttribute('href', 'tt01.css', 0);
		}
	//-->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<input type="button" value="Load style sheet" onclick="loadCSS();" />
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan
