CSS changed in JavaScript: how do I save?

[terraman]

Hi,

I have a page where I want to change my CSS using JavaScript.
I attached an external CSS and read it out using

var CSS = document.styleSheets[0];

Now I can do everything I want with it (using getelementByID, AddRule etc. (I do it by using a button click and an input field)

But as soon as I refresh my changes are lost and I can't find a save function in the StyleSheet object.

Any help on this problem would be highly apreciated.

I've read it, but that example uses another external stylesheet and overwrites the original with the new one using href... But I haven't got another css file, only a JavaScript object

?

You are looking to make permanent changes to a file on the server? Not possible using JavaScript.

So, conclusion, it's impossible to save all the css adjustments you made in JavaScript?

You could store the style sheet on the client machine using cookies then check for the cookie when a user comes to the site, and apply that style if it is found...

I should have known it's not possible to change a server side sheet on the client side.. my mistake.

but you have document.write, but that's only mime html?

document.write is temporary - I guess that's what you are calling mime HTML.
