Template or CSS Switcher with cookie handling

  • Maybe I am going overboard with this template deal, or maybe this has been discussed before (I do remember seeing a bunch of posts on the tikada site about cookie based theme switching). Please ignore/delete this post if that is the case. However, I found a really interesting article at A List Apart dot com about dynamic stylsheet changes using a simple javascript and storing the information as a cookie. I was really itching to try it out with all the talk in the WordPress Forums about retro stylesheets for WordPress. Check out the switcher at https://dinki.mine.nu/weblog/ On the top right hand side of the menu you will see the themes I have installed for my version of WordPress, albeit with a few modifications to suit my second menu column. Feel free to play around and see which one you like best. If you would like to implement this on your site ( no matter which CMS you use, this will work for you ) simply visit the List Apart link above, download the javascript and follow the instructions. If you are confused, feel free to email me and I will try to help.
    PS: once you choose a templte/style, a cookie is set on your computer which remembers your choice for the next time ?? The themes break in Mozilla (for now) and do not degrade well, but thats not the point of this exercise

    Never mind. I figured it out. I put the default stylesheet link inside of the <STYLE> tag. I took it out and placed it outside of the tag and now it works in both Mozilla and Internet Explorer.
