personalize site with css

[schroom]

I am trying to figure out how best to personalize a site using javascript and css. That is when a person comes to my site, depending on where they came from, (will use the document.referrer -for this part) dispaly css 1 vs css2 to certrain tags. I would think there would be an example of this out there. I have seen an example of when a person comes to a site - then choose be selecting a form.

Any Ideas on this would be a big help.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I think that you will find it very interesting:

You may have a problem with establishing 'user preferences' based on the referring document. What if the user adds the page to his/her favorites? On the next visit, there will be no referring document, and you may deliver the wrong stylesheet. You may want to set a cookie at the initial visit, and read that cookie on each subsequent visit instead.

Thank you very much!! I had never thought of that, and alot rests on that and how I would code, I was hoping to avoid cookies, but I do not believe that would be possible now. Thanks

:eek:

Ya. No reason to avoid cookies here. Storing user prefs is part of their raison d'être. :D
