CSS Stylesheet Switcher Problems

[Jack Franklin]

Hey guys,

Attempting to use a stylesheet switcher which I downloaded off here:
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/alternate/

I have this code in the 'Head' of each .html page.

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mainstylexmas.css" title="xmas" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mainstyle.css" title="default" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="styleswitcher.js"></script>

And this is the javascript:

Code: Select all

function setActiveStyleSheet(title) {
var i, a, main;
for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1 && a.getAttribute("title")) {
a.disabled = true;
if(a.getAttribute("title") == title) a.disabled = false;
}
}
}
function getActiveStyleSheet() {
var i, a;
for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1 && a.getAttribute("title") && !a.disabled) return a.getAttribute("title");
}
return null;
}
function getPreferredStyleSheet() {
var i, a;
for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1
&& a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("alt") == -1
&& a.getAttribute("title")
) return a.getAttribute("title");
}
return null;
}
function createCookie(name,value,days) {
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
}
else expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}
function readCookie(name) {
var nameEQ = name + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
}
return null;
}
window.onload = function(e) {
var cookie = readCookie("style");
var title = cookie ? cookie : getPreferredStyleSheet();
setActiveStyleSheet(title);
}
window.onunload = function(e) {
var title = getActiveStyleSheet();
createCookie("style", title, 365);
}
var cookie = readCookie("style");
var title = cookie ? cookie : getPreferredStyleSheet();
setActiveStyleSheet(title);

The strange thing is, it works fine testing locally on my PC (In IE7, IE6 & FF2), but does not work once uploaded in any browser.

Hey,

I dont know why this could happen.. Mabey try clearing your cache?

Even better, you might want to use a PHP one that was in the newsletter: Creatve Coding: Dynamic Stylesheet Switcher.

Just an idea that might be better .

[Jack Franklin]

Marc,

That did no good. However, I managed to follow that PHP tutorial you referenced me - and now it all works perfectly. Thanks.

If anyone does have a solution to the javascript problem, I would love to hear it out of curiosity.

Jack

[Marc]

Glad I was able to assist you! Oh and the PHP way is better as all users will see it, unlike users that have JavaScript disabled.

[Jack Franklin]

Yes, I knew that, but have always used javascript switchers! I would give you rep but I can't find the rep button?

[Marc]

There isn't one anymore . It was switched off.

[Jack Franklin]

No! How come?

[Blake121]

Yeah... That's one hell of a good article in the newsletter.

Complete genius.

[Jack Franklin]

I agree who made that then?

I seem to remember it was one of the annoying ones...

:P

Thanks Blake, really good article
