you could put something like this in the <head>:

if (whatever) {
document.write('<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="whatever.css">');
}
else {
document.write('<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="whatever2.css" >');

So can you reload the page? Or does it have to be completly on the fly?

on the fly could be better.. but i don't think it could be done..

but your code suggests an idea.. see whether this is good

when user changes style send a cookie with the style name and reload the page... just modifying your script may work.. but i haven't done any work with cookies.. can you help me there?.. or do you have any other ideas?

That does sound like a good idea, and probably the only way to do it. I am not that great with cookies either, but i will help if i can. :D
