I'm fiddling with various alternate style sheets (and ways to allow
non-Mozilla users to access them), and I realize that what I'd really
like is a way to group options. For instance, under one group, you
could change the page "design": different background photo, different
h3 colors, etc. In another group, you could determine text size (for
the poor IE/PC users whose browser won't do it): small, medium, large.
In yet another, you could change background color and text color: black
on white, white on black, etc. The three groups change independently,
and each user can customize to his/her own liking.
I'd prefer grouping these options instead of, say, having a stylesheet
for every possible combination (white on black, medium, star picture /
white on black, small, frog picture / black on white, large, frog
picture / etc.)
I have no idea how I'd go about doing this, or if it's even possible (I
have been able to set up a simple stylesheet switcher with the A List
Apart tutorial at http://alistapart.com/articles/phpswitch/). Each
"group" wouldn't overlap the others. They'd just have a few
declarations each. And I suppose we're already beyond CSS in finding a
way to let a user select an option in each group. But if anybody can 1)
tell me if this is possible and/or 2) point me in the right direction
(a tutorial, someone who's done it, etc.). I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks,
Pat
