Graphics On and Off Link

max · #1 (**permalink**) 11-18-03, 08:21 PM

I have a site wth heavy graphics and CSS styling. I kept 2 versions of html files until recently when I converted to css, so all my html files look great in plain text without css.

I want to add a link for example 'Text Version' that switches to the version without the css, and some major graphics.

Does anyone know if there is a tutorial already done? I would like to attempt a php solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

why don't make another CSS and with all the changes you want then link to it

you can do that by using something like this :

Code:

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php $_GET['style']; ?>.css" />
</head>

obviusly, put this header in all your HTML pages and then pass the style you want in ALL links (this would be rough) .. and make sure that the link looks like something like this :
<a href="mypage.php?style=bloody">The Bloody Style</a>
and the CSS file name is the exact name of the style var you passed but without .CSS ..
I usualy work with internal CSS and this Idea just poped up into my head ..
hope that was helpful

another way to do this is by using javascript. with a not too hard javascript, you can switch stylesheets on the fly, without even reloading the page.

That's the thing. I've done the javascript, but I really would rather do it server side.

Thanks anyways.
