css switch (php only)
Personally, I am very fond of Style Sheet Switchers (I’ve been meaning to put one on this site for ages now, oh to have more hours in the day! I will find the time – one day). For me – they add a certain playful touch to the site if done creatively. They are however much more important functions to consider so a style sheet switch function is not only a little bit of eye candy or simply a superficial feature but can also add to the accessibility of a website. It is good to offer an alternative colour scheme which would switch the page from light coloured text on a dark background to a dark coloured text on a light background, for example.
With a lot of different options and techniques out there I would still favour a simple switch using only PHP. This will work reliably with or without enabled Javascript. I’ve put together a demo which also includes the steps and code snippets.

Addie Spritzer says:Hi there, superb site you have right here, however I simply needed to tell you about what may perhaps most likely be considered a browser compatibility issue. I’m using Windows Vista 32 bit together with Flock, and the formatting is strange. It’s just a bit difficult to see certain regions of your blog, and I’m running my screen resolution at 1024 x 1024. I’m certain you didn’t aim for your site to seem so strange, and so is there any way it is possible to help me solve this problem?

thanks for your comment and sorry to hear my site is not displaying correctly. I’ll check in Flock and see what I can do to fix it.
If you could tell me what exactly is going wrong for you? Thanks.
