Reading the original question again, I notice that the OP _first_ told he
wants the page show "alternately as a person accesses that page", then
something completely different, namely that the page should alternate _by
person_.
Either way, the answer is still "no".

No it isn't. If persons A and B successively access the page on their
browsers, or if person A successively accesses the page on two browsers,
there will be no session variables. So this fails for either interpretation
of the "problem".

The defects of HTML and CSS have nothing to do with this. Neither of them
was meant to address wishes like this, and there isn't even anything you
could try in HTML or CSS to solve the, er, "problem".
(As usual, the real problem behind the non-problem is probably more
interesting than has been told so far.)
