How would I have a page that loads with one CSS document, then when they click a box somewhere, the CSS file will change and the site will look different. I want to have the user be able to dynamically change the appearance of the site to different files i create, so they can pick the one they like best

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link id="styles" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style1.css">
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){
document.getElementById('choice').onchange=function() {
document.getElementById('styles').href=this.value;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>

Hi there damasterjo,
Well, I can only assume that you are having problems with your coding. ;)Quote:

I have tested my code in IE6, IE7, Opera 9.27, Firefox 2 and Safari 3 with no problems.
The attachment contains this test for you to try at your leisure. :)
