personalize site with css

[greatfalls]

I am trying to figure out how best to personalize a site using javascript and css. That is when a person comes to my site, depending on where they came from, (will use the document.referrer -for this part) dispaly css 1 vs css2 to certrain tags. I would think there would be an example of this out there. I have seen an example of when a person comes to a site - then choose be selecting a form.

Any Ideas on this would be a big help.

Hi

Depends on what control you have over the site. I do this with the server side laguage PHP. I check the referrer and then write out the correct style sheet link accordingly.

Not sure is this is possible using client-side technologies only, but I will investigate further. Does this have to be multi/all browsers? (I have a feeling you can link a style sheet dynamically in IE but not sure about other browsers).

Thanks for your reply, just doing it on the client side does limit things, but there does seem to be ways out there.

Hi

Did a google search and found this:

document.styleSheets[0].href='zoiets.css';

which will change the first linked stylesheet dynamically.
