Simple. I want to make it so people can choose from around 4 themes from any page on my website all the same as each other but using different colours. Is it possible?

Make sure your design is pure CSS, and simply use a little server side code to change the style sheet around.

Without being bothered to create exact code, you'd have to make a form to set a cookie with the style number. Then rotate style sheet depending on the value of the cookie.

I wonder what would happen if you tried USING GOOGLE

Here's a clue. Search terms :

css website theme cookie

Try hitting "I'm Feeling Lucky" after entering them.

Congratulations on proving the statement in my signature.

Then use it again, with the search terms I just gave you, which takes you to a site with exactly what you wanted. Maybe in future when you want to use Google you can get a grown up to help you with the spelling, or to pick out the key words for a query?

Also, a hint. Guess what this handy button does?

But you have done something wrong... All users are asked to edit their post instead of posting a new one if its straight after the last one. Also you should use your common sense when asking questions and searching google.

You've been making irritating multiple consecutive posts for as long as you've been posting here. If you are the future of Microsoft, I think it's time I started paying more attention to Linux...

This thread has already been severely derailed, so I don't feel bad adding the following.

Error 500

Internal Server Error

Powered by Abyss Web Server X2
My server is set to only allow access from the local network, and return denials to Internet requests, but I don't know why that would be causing the machine looking at it to choke.

On a somewhat related note, I abandoned Windoze because it took a minimum 3 hours (on broadband) to reinstall and patch the OS enough to do web based banking. KNOPPIX would boot in under a minute, and I could do web banking instantly. That just naturally led into installing Linux. I haven't had any real reason to look back since.

Chappy,

The link to alistapart.com is extremely useful. However, to have a good idea of how to code a "Style Switcher", you will need to be able to use XHTML, CSS, PHP, and perhaps Javascript.

Good Luck.

Your website isn't listed, you can check any URL using the query.

You should edit even if its a different post. Only make a new one if its hours/days/months later.

The whole point of it, if you actually read my sig, is to show you a simple echo command in php.
