http://www.alistapart.com/articles/n4switch/ looks like it switches an existing style based on using titles. This looks very good! Thanks Mr. Drake!!

I would suggest you look at two articles 1. backwards compatible style switcher http://www.alistapart.com/articles/n4switch/ 2. zoom layout by Sir Joe Clark http://www.alistapart.com/articles/lowvision/ Joe tells you why it's a good idea to create an alternate style sheet that is single column, stark, and full of contrast. You could use this theory to switch your user to a simplified style sheet that still maintains some control The style switcher is the script that you are looking for. It's the "disable css" button. If you really want to turn off css, just have it switch to an empty css file.

Why do you want to switch off CSS? Reasons aside, the simplest method that jumps to my mind is to use an empty alternate stylesheet and some JavaScript to switch between it and the default [presuming you have all your style in the one external CSS file]. This rather old article explains the concept http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/ If you have the option, a server-side approach as Paul suggests would be more reliable as it would work without JavaScript. Comes back to why!?
