@Trend:

My understanding is that it's a confirmed bug with Safari 5.1 that will (hopefully) be corrected in a future release. You can read all the dirty details on Apple's discussion forums (link below), including some workarounds.

Hi,

I have been using the stylesheet switcher for years. Thank you.

I just upgraded to Safari 5.1. The switcher no longer works. When I click the link to switch stylesheets all styles are removed. I can switch back to the original style and restore formatting. The functionality still works fine on other browsers. I can't figure out what exactly is wrong. Safari 5.1 seemed to change how cookies are handled. I 'm not sure if that is the problem.

Do you have a fix?

My goal is to have a site that uses a different background image for each hour of the day. So, I would like a different stylesheet to load when a page is visited depending on the time of day (so, no "toggle" button for users to click). Do you think this is possible with this code?

Thanks.

I can confirm the problem with Safari 5.1.in Mac OS X.

I also tested latest Google Chrome 12.0.742.122 and it is still working.

The cookie function works for Chrome as well once you've uploaded it!

Well done Kelvin ! My attempt was far way complicated, so now I'm using yours. I modified the code (just one line...) to always keep in memory one default stylesheet. I have a "standard" style that always applies to pages and alternate styles just change some of the classes. So I have the default style that counts about 150 lines, while the 5 alternate stylesheets count less than 30 lines each. My problem was that switching completely the "standard" with the first or the second alternate stylesheet I was loosing also the common part that I wanted to keep. To achieve the result I just added an ID attribute to the link tag in the head of my page, something like this: In this way I can avoid to disable the "default" stylesheet and keep it always alive. I just changed $('link[@rel*=style][title]').each(function(i){ this.disabled = true; ... to this $('link[@rel*=style][title]').each(function(i){ if (this.getAttribute('id') != "default"){ this.disabled = true; } .... Hope this helps someone else.
