is it possible to make changable themes with css?

Expand Post »
Hey, I am hoping some kind soul out there can help me out. I want to make a site I am working on able to have more then one theme for example: Blue: Pink:Green:Flames is it possible to make it so when the person clicks the link it can load a css stylesheet for the whole website? I don't want to make each page in every theme color.

Yes, but AFAIK it would require a little scripting. You could save the style in a cookie, then select a stylesheet based on the value when the page loads.

Not quite. You just store an id indicating which stylesheet to load. When loading the page you would then check for the id in the cookie, and if the cookie does not exits use the default style. You could then have a switch/if statement which includes the correct stylesheet.

Yeah it is possible! But in this case we'l have to use some script to work over it! You my try JavaScript instead!
