Time Sensitive CSS Switcher

nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:54:14 GMT

A front-page Digg story about swapping out CSS files depending on the time of day. It’s nice to see so many people interested in the technique, I guess I’m just a little surprised people are finding the idea so groundbreaking. This guy does it with Javascript, and while that’s not a bad idea, I still think a server-side solution is best.
