    Why? Are you selling them? If so then I don't see the point in what you are saying... Thise colors don't look to great either... and what are those gaps between the tables?

    Get something like JASC Paintshop, where you can color pick, and copy and paste html codes. It's what I use. I don't know what designing software you use but invest in something like dreamweaver

    Have a look around www.dynamicdrive.com for code and script!

    If you're talking about allowing the user to choose which CSS file they want to view the website in, I think there's a Javascript that allows users to switch CSS files. Don't know where though....

    Yeah, you can do javascript or PHP CSS switchers that will change the style-sheet for you. PHP + a cookie is probably the most seemless. Just google for PHP style switcher if you need to, though it's a fairly easy bit of code to do yourself - just set a cookie depending on the form selection, and then, if the cookie is there when the page loads, pick up the relevant style sheet and pop the bit of code in with an if block.

    ok the first error you could be missing a quote mark or a semicolon.

    The second error seems to be related.

    Have you got an editor that highlights PHP source code like gVIM or something? Would make any mismatched quotes obvious.

    okay i dont think that program worked...

    Heres the code for switcher.php

    <?php
    setcookie ('sitestyle', $set, time()+31536000, »
    '/', 'http://www.jayswebby.net/v2/', '0');
    header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");
    ?>

    get rid of the >> and join everything from setcookie to the semicolon onto one line.

    Okay the menu script is below, all it does is direct me to /v2

    <form action="switcher.php" method="post">
    <select name="set">
    <option value="/blue" »
    selected>Blue</option>
    <option value="/green">
    Green</option>
    selected>/red</option>
    <option value="/red">Red</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Decide">
