Skinning Vs Stylesheet Switcher
When I first added them to tutorial directories, I received a lot of criticism on my Div Skinning tutorial and Iframes / Frames Skinning tutorial. It had nothing to do with the code or the method; it was because I was showing people how to skin when they could just use a stylesheet switcher instead.
Good point. Except, when I was asked to write the iframe / frame skinning tutorial, it was for someone who wanted to be able to switch between iframes and frames on their site. Something that couldn't be done by just changing the CSS.
Someone else asked me to modify it so they could use the method in their div layouts, which I - obviously - did.
And now, I've written up a Stylesheet Switcher tutorial. :)
If all of your layouts use exactly the same HTML, you should use a stylesheet switcher.
For those of us who change the HTML of our layouts, then we need to skin our sites.
