Topic awaiting preservation: CSS and JavaScripts... (Page 1 of 1)

I'm very confused here. I don't know whether this comes as CSS, JavaScript or Server-Side. Still here's my problem.

I'm making some skins for my site and I've reached quite a dilema. A few of my skins have JavaScript Image swappers on them and some extra JavaScripting but then again some don't. I wanted to know if there was a way to incorporate CSS with JavaScript so that the proper script is executed according to the skin chosen.

I know the question seems kinda weird but If it ain't possible then I guess it's back to thr drawing board for me. Or I could just get rid of the JavaScript.

oooh, GAIN trickler... yucky.



More information required as to how you plan to implement the skin change.


To answer your rough question roughly, styles can be applied to objects. If you wanted to change the background color of a layer then document.getElementById("objname").style.backgroundColor="#123456";

Well I'm not planning on doing stuff like PHP or MySQL. I'm just thinking of doing some simple CSS skins. I can then use JavaScript to dynamically change the skin.

Yes, but there are a number of ways you can handle skinning with CSS. How exactly are you skinning the page?

Like I said before, I'm going to be using simple Style Sheets to switch back n forth between sheets. I'll just be making several seperate style sheets and then incorporate them into the site.
