Jquery makes it very easy to manipulate the the DOM, this makes it so easy to change any element on your webpage.
One of those elements is the reference to your stylesheet, so using jQuery you can easily switch between different stylesheets.
But why would you want to switch between different stylesheets?
There are many different reasons to switch between stylesheet one of the most common is for accessibility. Many websites allow users to pick the font size displayed on the page but what if changing the font size will push your layout out and your website won't look the same any more. You can assign adifferent stylesheet for different font sizes so you can make sure that your website will always look good and it doesn't matter what the font size is.
