Hello, Quick question. If a button were made to set a cookie on the Opac labeled "Kid's OPAC" then feasibly the CSS included could be switched on the fly with the user controlled switch. This would allow all the existing code for the OPAC to work by just setting up a new CSS (for Kid's for example) and then using javascript check the cookie to determine if an alternate CSS is being used. This could save quite a bit of time getting a Kid's OPAC running, and the same cookie could be passed into all search functions to limit the search on some criteria (for example select only Kid's materials). Questions, Comments. Just an idea. -Darrell Ulm _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel

Can't it be done by changing the View: Page Style menu item selection, rather than using yet more javascript (which will break on any half-secured browser)?

I think that the alternate stylesheets used by view->page style can also be activated by JavaScript. We could have a nice, more user-friendly button that does this with fallback to the browser mechanism. -- Jesse Weaver _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel

That would be the ideal, yes. Maybe onload javascript could replace a short small hint about the menu option with the button?
