I'd have to agree with other posters on this thread, why would you need to do this when responsive is the way to go. There are a few ways you could offer the user to view the full site, you could use a select box with the options which would to change the css. Use a cookie to remember the user choice. Cookies can be set using JavaScript as below using a select option, but you could easily modify to just be a simple link and use a listener to do the same thing with only one choice:
<script>
function setCookie(c_name, value, exdays) {
var exdate = new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value = escape(value) + ((exdays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie = c_name + "=" + c_value;
}
function getCookie(c_name) {
var i, x, y, ARRcookies = document.cookie.split(";");
for (i = 0; i < ARRcookies.length; i++) {
x = ARRcookies[i].substr(0, ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
y = ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=") + 1);
x = x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, “”);
if (x == c_name) {
return unescape(y);
}
}
}
function cssSelected() {
var cssSelected = $(’#myList’)[0].value;
if (cssSelected !== “select”) {
setCookie(“selectedCSS”, cssSelected, 3);
}
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$(’#myList’)[0].value = getCookie(“selectedCSS”);
})
</script>
<select id=“myList” onchange=“cssSelected();”>
<option value=“select”>–Select–</option>
<option value=“style-1.css”>CSS1</option>
<option value=“style-2.css”>CSS2</option>
<option value=“style-3.css”>CSS3</option>
<option value=“style-4.css”>CSS4</option>
</select>
