Question

Hi I have a page for which I have four different style sheets like this

      <link rel="Stylesheet" href="fancydropdown.css"  title="style-1" type="text/css" />
      <link rel="Alternate" href="fancydropdown_1.css" title="style-2" type="text/css" />
      <link rel="Alternate" href="fancydropdown_2.css" title="style-3" type="text/css" />
      <link rel="Alternate" href="fancydropdown_3.css" title="style-4" type="text/css" />

And this is my HTML

    <div id="menu">
    <ul class="tabs">
<li><h4><a href="#">In the blog &raquo;</a></h4></li>
<li class="hasmore"><a href="#"><span>Styles</span></a>

Answer 1

You just change the HREF of your stylesheet.

... HEAD
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="style1.css" >

... BODY
<ul class="dropdown">
    <li><a data-stylesheet="style1.css">style 1</a></li>
    <li><a data-stylesheet="style2.css">style 2</a></li>
    <li><a data-stylesheet="style3.css">style 3</a></li>
</ul>

... SCRIPT
$('.dropdown a').click(function(ev){
    ev.preventDefault();
    $('link').attr('href',$(this).data('stylesheet'));
});
