Alternate Style Resources

Really cools ways to allow your web users pick the environment of their visit. It's aways good to start with Jeffery.

Here are some links I found both from zeldman and google:

Altenate Styles with PHP

FOR YOUR STYLE-SHEET-SWITCHING PLEASURE, A List Apart offers the Switcher , a piece of JavaScript that dynamically changes page styles. Functional as it is, it quite unfortunately relies on the user to have both JavaScript and cookies enabled. There’s not much we can do about the cookies, but we can sidestep client-side processing with a little help from PHP.
PHP is a scripting language available on many, many servers. It’s fast, it’s free, it’s open source and it handles everything on the server side, so there’s no need to worry about users who have disabled client-side scripting in their browsers. If you’re not sure if your host has PHP installed, just ask them!

Using Java Script for specific element changes

Older browsers, such as Netscape's Navigator 4 series, had relatively poor support for modifying Cascading Stylesheets from JavaScript—instead requiring that you use either document.write() calls to rewrite the contents of a particular element or their equally burdensome (and Navigator-only) Javascript Stylesheets mechanism.

Alternate Styles at 17 years old

SO YOU HAVE AN XHTML DOCUMENT. You’ve also been a good little web developer and used style sheets to control what your document looks like. You’ve even gone the extra mile and created several alternative style sheets to show how hardcore you are.
Great. But now you need a cross–browser way to dynamically switch between the style sheets.

We're all gald yesterday is history!

Sorry for the rude comments about my mac ... it was the firewire hd ... 2 years old ... which is light years for a hard drive that's been used relentlessly for protools. As soon as I unplugged it the internal hd kicked back into gear and I was once again flaming thru my applications.

I'm still having issues with Roadrunner. You'd think for $40/month it would be a bit more dependable.

The brand loyalty statement ... I'm a dork! Just don't listen to me on those days ...
