How to switch between two CSS files on a page

The basic idea for changing applied CSS is to tells the browser which one is to be used. For the purpose we have to do 3 things : 1. Use 2 CSS files in our page as given below (with title tag, we will later recognize these files through title):







2. Change the applied CSS file so theme can be changed. we can set two buttons somewhere on page so we can switch theme when we click on any of them.


Light
Dark





2. Tells browser to memorize , what is our current CSS , so it would render the right one for the user. For this we are using javascript and doing 3 things here :
to set Cookie and a function to switch the current CSS applied to other one, and a method to read cookie to get current CSS applied during page loads



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;
        }
    }
}
function getActiveStyleSheet() {
    var i, a;
    for (i = 0;
    (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
        if (a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1 && a.getAttribute("title") && !a.disabled) return a.getAttribute("title");
    }
    return null;
}
function getPreferredStyleSheet() {
    var i, a;
    for (i = 0;
    (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
        if (a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1 && a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("alt") == -1 && a.getAttribute("title")) return a.getAttribute("title");
    }
    return null;
}
function createCookie(name, value, days) {
    if (days) {
        var date = new Date();
        date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
        var expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();
    } else expires = "";
    document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/";
}
function readCookie(name) {
    var nameEQ = name + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for (var i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') c = c.substring(1, c.length);
        if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length, c.length);
    }
    return null;
}
window.onload = function (e) {
    var cookie = readCookie("style");
    var title = cookie ? cookie : getPreferredStyleSheet();
    setActiveStyleSheet(title);
}
window.onunload = function (e) {
    var title = getActiveStyleSheet();
    createCookie("style", title, 365);
}
var cookie = readCookie("style");
var title = cookie ? cookie : getPreferredStyleSheet();
setActiveStyleSheet(title);

How To Append Data to HTML5 localStorage or sessionStorage?

The localStorage property allows you to access a local Storage object. localStorage is similar to sessionStorage. The only difference is that, while data stored in localStorage has no expiration time untill unless user deletes his cache, data stored in sessionStorage gets cleared when the originating window or tab get closed. These are new HTML5 objects and provide these methods to deal with it: The following snippet accesses the current domain's local Storage object and adds a data item to it using Storage.setItem() . localStorage.setItem('myFav', 'Taylor Swift'); or you can use the keyname directly as : localStorage.myFav = 'Taylor Swift'; To grab the value set in localStorage or sessionStorage, we can use localStorage.getItem("myFav"); or localStorage.myFav There's no append function for localStorage or sessionStorage objects. It's not hard to write one though.The simplest solution goes here: But we can kee
