Right--you typically bring a stylesheet file into your app w/goo like this in the layout:
<head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> <title>My Cool App: <%= controller.action_name %></title> <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'my_stylesheet' %> </head> You can bring as many stylesheets as you want into your layout. So e.g., this will work: <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'my_stylesheet' %> <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'large_fonts' if cookies[:large_fonts] %> <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'high_contrast' if cookies[:high_contrast] %> Or maybe better: <%= stylesheet_link_tag cookies[:font_size] if cookies[:font_size] %> To let you name the stylesheet file in the cookie, so you can do small/medium/large, say. Just give the user links to actions that set/unset those cookies & you should be good to go.

Why not just save the user preference in a persistent cookie, so it continues in effect when the user returns? -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [email protected] twitter: @hassan GHC Confidentiality Statement This message and any attached files might contain confidential information protected by federal and state law.
