switching between style sheets

[cwjones]

Ok. The site has been constructed and was about to be launched but some interfering government type decided that the there wasn't enough in the way of accessability. So I make up four or five different css files that would change the text and the colour of the whole site.

I thought linking the css files would be straight forward. Not so.

Javascript is a possiblitity but there is definatly no php allowed or drop down menus.

If any one can point me in the right direction I would be very very greatfull.

I just need four or five hyperlinks at the top of the page's that would change the css file and drop a cookie to keep the prefered style.

No negative replies please

thanks

That looks just like the info I've been looking for the past 3 days. Thanks very much

just to add to my mission. I have also been asked to include hyperlinks that will change the text size.
I have used the styleswitcher to switch between background colors but having trouble keeping the back ground color when I change text size.

Please view the problem here.

The top right. You can change the color of the site bit when you change the test size it seems to revert to the default color.

Any ideas?

What is happening is the original style sheet is been left on and an additional stylesheet loaded. So all your css stays the same and only the bits that are overridden by the new sheet are changed. HOwever when you load in a different alternate sheet the original style still apply but the additional sheet (eg, blue bg) is replaced by the new selection. This mean that you get the original styles with only the changes that the selected sheets makes, not the combination of selected stylesheets. So if you select blue bg then extra large text you won't get both of those things, just the last one you selected as the additional sheets are replacing each other rather than stacking/adding to one another. You follow me?

What you need is a switcher that adds stylesheets rrather than replacing them. But then there is the danger (if people try them all out a few times, for example) of having the same sheets applied dozens of time. This could cause problems. Not sure what the solution would be here. There must be one though.

Anyone got any ideas?
