Swap CSS file...

bobindy · Apr 9, 2003

Hello,

I want to give the user the ability to change font sizes on a page. In theory this seems like simply swapping out one CSS file for another but I'm not sure where to start.

Thoughts anyone?

You can see this in action at:

Thanks,
Bob

Sounds like you may want to use PHP, and do conditional includes of the CSS (or just font tags)... then you can drop in a form on each page, and even allows you the option of using a cookie to let the user keep their theme each time they return to your site (with that browser on that machine).

Thats more or less what I did for virtually the same thing heres the code


<form action='set-theme.php' method=POST >
<Option>---- Colours ----</option>
<Option value="choice1.css">Black/white</option>
<option value="choice2.css">Grey/Blue</option>
<option value="choice3.css">White/Black</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" Value="Select"> 
<input type="reset" value="Reset ">
</form>


<?php
setcookie("style",$_POST[theme],time()+1209600);
Header("location:main.html&quot

;
?>

<-- all pages on site note pages need to be saved as page.php not page.html -->

<?php
if (isset ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["style"])) $mystyle = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["style"];
else $mystyle="choice1.css";
echo"<html><head><link rel=StyleSheet href=\"{$mystyle}\" type=text/css media=screen>";?>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head><body></body></html>

hope this helps
