Can this javascript be turned into PHP?

[Justin_Diamond]

Hi there,

I am using this javscript function to switch my Cascading style sheets between enabled and disabled. I wondered if this can be done in PHP?

function toggleCSS(){ 
var i=0; 
if(document.styleSheets.length>0){ 
cs=!document.styleSheets[0].disabled; 
for(i=0;i<document.styleSheets.length;i++) 
document.styleSheets[i].disabled=cs; 
} 
void(cs=false); 
}

It si called like this:

<a href="#" onclick="toggleCSS();return false;"  title="View Text version of this website" accesskey="r">Text Version</a>

Many thanks

im assuming you have one header file that you include in all scripts

in this file, where you include your css file, add this code:

if (!isset($toggleCSS) || $toggleCSS != "false")
    {
     echo "<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF='style.css' TYPE='text/css'>\n";
    }

when you want to toggle CSS as being 'off' or not present, your link would look like this:

<a href='<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>?toggleCSS=false'>Click here to disable CSS</a>

Hi there and thanks for your assistance 🙂

Would I be able to toggle between on and off on a whim?

Thanks again 🙂

The main thing one needs to know baout PHP is that it is a server-side language.
What this means is that when a page holding PHP code is called from a browser, the server parses all the PHP, and then spits the results out to the browser.

With this in mind, a refresh will always have to happen with something like this. If you don't want the page to refresh, stick with javascript.
