Changing site colors on the fly

[a.titus1]

Ive seen a few sites do this, and for the life of me couldnt figure out how to do this on the fly with an external style sheet. Then I got smart and looked at the source and noticed the style include was a .php and not .css, then it hit me. Just have a simple control structure in the php code that branches according to what color you send it and thats how you determine what style sheet to include. Seems obvious now that I looked at it, but took me awhile.

Any other tips for doing stuff like this?

You can use javascript to attach an external CSS file to an already loaded document.

Yep, what I was going to say. For example look at wired.com (The font size change buttons).
