Description of problem

This is more of a question or solution to my problem. I may know about coding but JavaScript and Jquery are where I am still learning more about and saving data on servers ain't one of them. As you can see in the screenshot, members can switch between CSS styles to make the forum a dark or light theme. I noticed when I changed it to the light theme, I had to do it again every time the pages reloads or switching between pages in the forum. Is there a way I can have it to where it saves the data they chose?

JavaScript:

Thanks for your help!

You need a line of code that saves cookies. Are you using the one by Ange Tuteur?

No, it's my own that I found online how to do and styled myself.

Yes, but I don't know how to code it to save cookies.

Hello,

There are ways to do this on a fm forum:using localStorage or using cookies. I don't recommend you to use cookies since you are a beginner and localStorage is easier to use. The code would look like this:
Code:
$(function(){ /*Wait for the page to load*/
var light=0; /*By default we have the dark theme*/
if(localStorage.getItem("light")!=null){ /*If the localStorage item exists*/
$("body, #wrap").toggleClass("light-mode"); /* toggle the class(actually adding it since it doesn't exist at first*/
light=1; /*Remember we have the light theme*/
};
$("#myonoffswitch").click(function(){ /*When the user clicks on the element*/
if(light){ /*If the light theme is active*/
light=0; /*Remember we now have the dark theme*/
localStorage.removeItem("light"); /*Remove the localStorage item*/
} else { /*Otherwise, we have the dark theme*/
light=1; /*Remember we now have the light theme*/
localStorage.setItem("light", "light")
}
$("body, #wrap").toggleClass("light-mode"); /*Toggle the class*/
});
})

Note:I haven't tested the code. Also, the change event(second line in your code) can only be used on input elements. As you can see in my code I'm using the click event. It should work the same(theoretically better), but if the code is not working, change
Code:
click
to
Code:
change
in my code.

Thank you so much, @Justice! That worked like a charm and I appreciate you explaining in every detail of how it works. Quick question though, is there a way to save the switch styles in the cookies too?

As you can see, the CSS styles were changed and saved as cookies, but the switch was reset back when I refreshed the page.

Yes it's possible. When you click on the button you add a class/id to it or how do you modify it's style?

This is how the button is changed when clicked on.
Code:
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label .onoffswitch-inner {
  margin-left: 0;
  width: 215%;
}
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label .onoffswitch-switch {
  right: 0px;
  background-color: #000;
}

Never mind, Thank you @Justice! I did it myself thanks to your directions.

Again, thank you!
