button to change wesite colour scheme

[dannyboy83]

Not sure if this is in the right place, but I need some website advice.

I would like to add in a button that changes the website's colour scheme, presumably through CSS. I'm sure I've seen it on other sites, but I'm wondering if there are any code resources out there than I can take and tweak.

Cheers.

usually done thru php query strings

<a href=index.php?theme=red>Click Here for Red Theme</a>

then in your php code...

<?php
//get the theme from query string
$theme = $_GET['theme'];

//couldnt remember the syntax for style, it might be href=red.css

if ($theme == red) {
echo "<style type=text/css link=red.css>";
} else if ($theme ==blue) {
echo "<style type=text/css link=blue.css>";
} else {
echo "<style type=text/css link=red.css>";
}

//then all your page content

?>

quickly knocked up, and couldnt remember syntax for <style> but im sur eosmeone can clear it up.

Howard's website has this, so he should be able to confirm the method.
