Toggle CSS Sheets (on click) with Javascript

Question

Trying to find code for switching between two style sheets with just one button. I've tried to adapt others' solutions, but to no avail (yet). Here's my most recent attempt:

Set Up:

<link id="style1" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resumecss.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle() {
    var el = document.getElementById("style1");
    if (el.href == "resumecss.css") {
        el.href = "resumecssinvert.css";    
    }
    else {
        el.href = "resumecss.css";  
    }
}
</script>

Calling:

<button type="button" onclick="toggle()">Switch</button>

The purpose being to flip between two skins on one page repeatably.

Thanks in advance to those of you kind/knowledgeable to help.

Answer 1

Try including both of them, and then switched the disabled flag

<link id="style1" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resumecss.css" />
<link id="style2" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resumecssinvert.css" disabled="disabled"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle() {
    var el1 = document.getElementById("style1"),
        el2 = document.getElementById("style2");
    if( el1.disabled == "disabled" ) {
        el1.disabled = undefined;
        el2.disabled = "disabled";
    } else {
        el1.disabled = "disabled";
        el2.disabled = undefined;
    }
}
</script>

Answer 2

This is the shortest solution I could think of (and works probably in all browsers):

function toggle() {
  var a = document.getElementById("style1");
  a.x = 'resumecssinvert' == a.x ? 'resumecss' : 'resumecssinvert'; // short if
  a.href = a.x + '.css';
}

As everything in javascript is a object you can simply add properties.

Assuming that your default css is "resumecss"

The first time x is not set and returns false, so "resumecssinvert" will be set.

The second time time x is set and returns true and switches back. Everything works as it should.

Answer 3

Your script is solid, except that the href attribute is a full URL, even if you use a relative path. Here's the code I used that works:

function toggle() {
    var el = document.getElementById("style1");
    if (el.href.match("resumecss.css")) {
        el.href = "resumecssinvert.css";    
    }
    else {
        el.href = "resumecss.css";  
    }
}
