Hi,

I am wondering how I can design multiple stylesheets for my webpage and let the
user choose the one that they would like to use.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you want, check out my site in my sig.

you can use <link rel="alternate stylesheet"...> but its not supported
by IE and other browsers implementation is simply stupid.

use links and server side scripting to allow the visitor to select
different CSS

Out of curiosity, what is "stupid" about the implementation in
recent Mozilla, e.g. 1.4?

Seemed to work just fine for me when I tried it.

I no longer have a sample page publicly accessible because I had
also heard that MSIE couldn't cope.

no automatic indication that alternate CSS is available and alternate
css not remaining selected between pages if its still available on the
next page leaving you to manually change the style every time you
visit a different page. stupid.

OK, I get what you are saying. How do I know which selection the user chose?
Do I set a "QueryString" variable to list the style sheet they have chosen
(i.e. URL/file.asp?var=sheet )?

thats one way. you could also use path_info for search engine friendly
links. i don't have a simple demo of either method at the moment but
this link shows how using path_info to change the css (and large ball
to display).
