I would like to design a few different looks for my site and have them switchable by the user.

 

The html will stay the same, the layout and content will be the same. All I will be doing is changing background images.

 

What I would like to find is some script (php / java) that simply switches from say arty_style.css to web2-0_style.css when the user chooses that option.

 

Also for this change to be kept when they go to a new url within my site and when they next come to the site would I need a login/signup system of some kind or can this kind of thing be stored in a cookie?

 

Thanks

To keep track of the user, you would need either a cookie or a login system.

 

The website CSS Zen Garden does exactly what you're thinking of in terms of style-switching. If you read their FAQ link you'll find a JavaScript style switcher, the CSS Zen Garden PHP style switching script and the reasons why David Shea (author) used PHP.

 

Hope if helps
