Changing stylesheets according to time of day

Question

Is it possible to change the stylesheets of a website depending on the time of day of the user's computer. Using c# ? Regards P

You could do it all client side with Javascript. The Javascript gets the timezone and then links the correct CSS. That's probably best. If you also want to get the local time for use on the server you can use Javascript to detect the local time and then store it in a hidden field: The script: function GetClientTime() { var now = new Date() var offset = now.getTimezoneOffset(); document.Form1.hdnClientTime.value = offset }

Hi Paul As you are saying that you need to change the image based on the USERs time you need to get the client side time. once you have this you can use jquery's .css method to change the image. the method takes property name and value as parameters which you would be able to provide. try this link http://api.jquery.com/css/
