I think this doesn't have anything to do with the original problem but those "alternates" doesn't really do anything in your code. > >> My problem lies with SWITCHING to another style sheet using my > >> PHP switcher...

The code you posted looks very similar to what I'm using... Here's > my code: http://contrastsweb.com/switcher/ Interesting. The code that I posted was just for *testing*. Have you tried it? Did you notice one big difference? The (very "crude") code that I posted actually works in NN(4.78) the one that you're using doesn't. -> http://contrastsweb.com/switcher/example.php (In my NN, it's always "normal.css".) There are at least two things you could do: 1. Tell the author that there seems to be a problem with the "switcher". I'm sure the person will be happy to hear about it and perhaps give you some advice how to fix it. Or, 2. Try creating your own. This way, you'll know how your own "switcher" works. And perhaps, if there's a problem, you can ask the list more specific questions while showing us which part of the code is creating havoc. Try # 2--I'm sure you can do it... ;) - E
