[SWFObject] Alternate CSS for alternate Content

Tue Oct 10 07:55:39 PDT 2006

Woohoo!

Thank you very much, I am a complete JS newbie so it may take me a few trial
and error runs to integrate it but the information you have given me is
fantastic! Thank you very much!

Toby.

When you call so.write() it returns true or false depending on whether the
user has the correct version of flash or not.

so = new SWFObject(....
...
if (so.write("flashcontent")) {
// do flash stuff
} else {
// do alternate content stuff
}

You can use the attached js/demo example to do the swapping of the css based
on flash or not. The basis is that by adding the rel= alternative and adding
a title param, the css will not be displayed until you swap to it. There is
some extra trickery of using a cookie to remember the last selected
stylesheet, but you will most likely want to omit this functionality (remove
the onLoad and onunload functions from <body
onload="useStyleAgain('styleTestStore');"
onunload="rememberStyle('styleTestStore');">)

e.g.

<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="extraPretty.css"
title="Pretty">

BTW - original swap code / demo is courtesy of Mark Wilton-Jones from
howtocreate.co.uk <http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/> 

Cheers,

Aran

Bump.

Anyone have a solution for this? Or am I trying to do something a bit wrong
that nobody is interested in?

Cheers!

Hi list,

I have seen this covered before but I haven't been satisfied with the
information available to integrate it. Mainly through my lack of any JS
knowledge admittedly and the solution I found on the homepage was posted for
a previous version of SWFObject. Has anyone done this successfully with the
latest version of SWFObject? Or is there a snippet of JS a fool like myself
could integrate into the current version?

Cheers!

Toby
