javascript to change stylesheet/browser

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 08.2004

Is there a javascript that depending on your type of browser (eg IE and Netscape) allows you to add a specific (different) stylesheet to a page?

In other words: is it possible with javascript to use style1.css for IE and style2.css for Netscape?

Or am I posting in the wrong forum and is there a way to do this simply by adding something in the stylesheet?

thx

</i>&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;
function setActiveStyleSheet(title) {
var i, a, main;
for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1
&amp;&amp; a.getAttribute("title")) {
a.disabled = true;
if(a.getAttribute("title") == title) a.disabled = false;
}
}
if(navName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'){
setActiveStyleSheet('style1');
} else {
setActiveStyleSheet('style2');
}
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;LINK href="style-black.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" title="style1"&gt;
&lt;LINK href="style-blue.css" type="text/css" rel="alternate stylesheet" title="style2"&gt;

&lt;body onload="setActiveStyleSheet();"&gt;

@sjempauthorJan 08.2004 — Exactly what i need but this script gives an error :s ?

It only works for the first stylesheet in IE (and there is an error on the page- i think it's saying an object is being expected), but other browsers also display this stylesheet.

@96turnerriJan 08.2004 — now this works fine

<head>

<LINK href="style1.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" title="style1">

<LINK href="style2.css" type="text/css" rel="alternate stylesheet" title="style2">

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

function setActiveStyleSheet(title) {

var i, a, main;

for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {

if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1

&& a.getAttribute("title")) {

a.disabled = true;

if(a.getAttribute("title") == title) a.disabled = false;

}

}

if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {

setActiveStyleSheet('style1');

} else {

setActiveStyleSheet('style2');

}

}

</script>

</head>



<body onload="setActiveStyleSheet();">

@PittimannJan 08.2004 — Hi!

The "Out of memory..." is based on the fact, that this:

if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {

setActiveStyleSheet('style1');

} else {

setActiveStyleSheet('style2');

}

is inside the function which is called onload.

Sorry to say, that also the rest doesn't work - don't have time now to fix it...

Cheers - Pit
