Can't find the way to do this - 9/20/2004 7:26:17
Can someone help me find the post (or give a new post) to how to make a page with various colors? Remember seeing it a while back but can't find it with the search. Thanks to other posts I have mastered the HEX colors numbers so now I can move on to the next challenge.
What I want to do is to be able to offer four different colors of the same page to my new customer (so they can decide on the exact color). Can't remember if I make four copies of the CSS, each with
unique HEX codes or make four new pages with linking each page to it's matching CSS or what.
It's been a long weekend and my brain is mush!

Hi Rita
Do you want the color change to be site wide or just on selected pages?
Dan

Cissy to the rescue! That's the series of post I was looking for. Thank you.
Dan- I wanted the whole site in different colors and the buttons to change.
Dave-- That's one's good too!
All the help is appreciated. Never thought of the word "switcher" -- I kept searching for "change".

Site wide will require PHP/ASP coding with the usgae of cookies to be done successfully, how goods your Server Side Techs knowledge? Multiple stylesheets will be required

Dan-- let me clarify. I was really hoping for the link to the post I remembered reading in Outfront. I am not really wanting to build out a complete website that switches colors but to offer to my new client a way to choose between colors with his unique content & photos in draft form. I only intend to have one sample of each page mocked up with the same photos on each so they can choose.
"Do you like version A - HEX 804040 or version B- HEX 800000 or version c- Hex 804000 or various D HEx FF0080 (examples only).
My client is very "fussy" and the colors must be just so. He needs to be able to see his photos placed on the page with each color.
My memory was that there was a post about making buttons that automatically changed colors that I was looking for to refresh my memory. (thinking of the client end of things). I could not remember if it was very involved (for my side of the task) or if I even have the skills to do it.
If I have to code PHP/ASP this won't fly since I don't know how. That's why I wanted the post or article to refresh my mushy brain..

maybe for what you want to do you could just make several versions of the page and change the style sheet fo each one (i.e. just *link* to a different stylesheet) so page one is linked to 1.css etc. put some small navigation element someone just to link to all the pages

I have actually seen this on one of Eric meyers sites, I think, and how they did this was they had a small section on the right of the page that gave you choices of different colors etc.. of the page view. And when you clicked on this, then you would get the template of choice.
