Reloading page with different CSS

Is it possible, through a link on a page, to reload that page with a different CSS, that is, different page definitions?
I'd like to have a page with 5 or so different buttons, links, etc, which will demonstrate different layouts of that page.
Interesting, eh?

Why doesn't this work?



<?php
if ($csstype == "style_1")
{
<link href="style_1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
}
elseif ($csstype == "style_2")
{
<link href="style_2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
}
else
{
<link href="style_1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
}
?>

So many issues with that code, I won't even start.

You really should be asking this question in the PHP forum. Even though it has to do with stylesheets, it is a dynamic issue.

building off of the 2nd post, and using javscript there are so many ways to do this.

one:
Use innerHTML to rewrite the link element using a diff stylesheet.

two:
using query strings and if statements to check what stylesheet should be used.

three:
I think you can use css to define alternate stylesheets, but I stopped reading on that subject.. looked like to much work for me.. and I'm too lazy

You can easily change the stylesheet with CSS or JS, but I assumed that you would want the user to be able to retain their choice. A mix of JS and cookies could perform this, but I would use one of the server-side languages personally.

Hope that is what you wanted, anywa. =)

These rely on alternate stylesheets and cookies...
