Hi,

Is there any way to store CSS settings and classes into a database. I have a css file describing styles for whole website.
I want to give user an option, to modify styles (background color, font, table header font, etc.) of thier own choices (at run-time). When user selects from the given options and hit save, then these values store in the database, so that when user visits the website next time then customized styles (theme) should be displayed on the web pages rather than default styles.
I know this can be done by using cookies (through javascript) but the problem arises when user visits the website after deleting private data of browser. In this way, again default styles applies to all web pages.

I am using javascript for dynamic changing of css files. Is there any way to get involved database in javascript to store css styles ?



Thanks,

You can make it variable, yes. Set your page to be parsed server-side (usually, you can do this by just changing the file extension.) You will have to set the HTTP header of this document to text/css. Then set some variables in the header of your page and use these throughout your document.

For example, in PHP, you'd do it like this:
PHP Code:

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/css; charset=utf-8");
/* style variables */
if(!$_GET['header-background']) {
$header-background = "#39f";
}
if(!$_GET['header-text']) {
$header-text = "#fff";
}
if(!$_GET['body-background']) {
$body-background = "#fff";
}
if(!$_GET['body-text']) {
$body-text = "#222";
}
?>
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
}
#header {
background: <?php echo $header-background; ?>
color: <?php echo $header-text; ?>
}
#content {
background: <?php echo $body-background; ?>
color: <?php echo $body-text; ?>
}

You'd have to pass these on by using HTTP GET variables, which are visible. You attach them to the end of your URI, like so:
http://example.com/index.php?header-background=#3399ff&header-text=#ffffff

FarhanBajwa,
JavaScript does not have any access to the server and can not talk to databases. It is purely client-side. If you want to send a message with JS you must use AJAX calls, then process the calls server side with a server programming language that has access to a database. This is why you were given a PHP answer.
