Hi all,

I am developing an application in jsp for my client.My requirement is to apply 3 to 4 themes to my entire application.I need to include those themes in a select option so that whenever user selects any one of them that theme has to be applied.Can any one help me with the code in jsp???





Thanks

Use the value of the dropdown to include a different set of css files to apply the different themes.

The major steps I can think of are:
1) Create a CSS file using the same id/class names for each theme.
2) Make sure your JSPs don't have any hard coded formatting info and only use the common id/class names in the theme css files
3) Build a way to let the user change themes.
4) Store the currently selected theme somewhere (maybe in the HttpSession - unless you need to remember it between visits in which case you need to store it in a cookie or the database)

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
