    [!--quoteo(post=377932:date=May 28 2006, 08:07 PM:name=poirot)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE(poirot @ May 28 2006, 08:07 PM) [snapback]377932[/snapback][/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]I think it's because you are using aleternative style sheets to set the font/color. So probably IE keeps using the main CSS.[/quote]You are right on the money. I changed rel="alternate stylesheet" to rel="stylesheet" and now it works perfectly in IE and Firefox. Thanks!

I don't see the problem... Maybe you have FF set not to accept any cookies? [/quote] Ok, like I said this is my first time using PHP and I don't know what I am doing. I would appreciate suggestions on how to clean the code up and make it shorter, as opposed to just stating its sloppy and too long. By the way, [a href=\"http://www.designx.biz/test\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.designx.biz/test[/a] works fine in FF. IE is the problematic browser. I have cookies enabled and default settings in both browsers. Could you double check [a href=\"http://www.designx.biz/test\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.designx.biz/test[/a] in IE and make sure you can switch styles?

[/quote] If I take out the session_register(), then how will it know which session to start? For each style change (background, font, etc.) I need to use an alterative style sheet. So, if someone clicks on "red" as a background color, then the PHP needs to replace the file name in the HTML so the red style sheet is loaded.

    The goal is to design an W3C and Section 508 standards-compliant web site that gives the user the ability to customize the look and feel by selecting options from a drop-down list. I am a front-end designer, fluent in CSS and XHTML, but I have no experience with forms or back-end scripting. This is where I need help. Here is the link to a demo of what I am trying to do: [a href=\"http://www.designx.biz/test\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.designx.biz/test[/a] If you open the above link in Firefox and start clicking through the links, then you should see how the site "remembers" your preferences as you go along. You can customize the style of the site to your liking, which should prove for a more enjoyable user experience. If you open the above link in Internet Explorer, however, then it does not change the styles when you click on the links. This is a problem. I chose to use standard hyperlinks for this demo, though I would like to make it work with XHTML drop-down form menus once I get the PHP working. Here is a link to a ZIP file containing all the files in the above demo: [a href=\"http://www.designx.biz/test/test.zip\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.designx.biz/test/test.zip[/a] I am willing to keep an open mind, so feel free to suggest alternative means to meet my goal. The thought of storing the style preferences in cookies also crossed my mind, because it would be cool for the site to "remember" your style preferences if you re-visit the site after several reboots and a few days time. I am sure you all can see where I am going with this, so I hope you can help me! Here is the code from switcher_background.php: [code] <?php session_start(); if ( ! session_is_registered("background") ) {     session_register("background");     $_SESSION['background'] = 'background_black';     $background = $_SESSION['background'];     } else {     $background = $_SESSION['background'];     } if ( ! session_is_registered("color") ) {     session_register("color");     $_SESSION['color'] = 'color_yellow';     $color = $_SESSION['color'];     } else {     $color = $_SESSION['color'];     } if ( ! session_is_registered("size") ) {     session_register("size");     $_SESSION['size'] = 'size_small';     $size = $_SESSION['size'];     } else {     $size = $_SESSION['size'];     } if ( ! session_is_registered("font") ) {     session_register("font");     $_SESSION['font'] = 'font_verdana';     $font = $_SESSION['font'];     } else {     $font = $_SESSION['font'];     } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>StyleSheet Switcher</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css"> <link rel="alternative stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $background ?>.css" title="User Defined Style"> <link rel="alternative stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $alignment ?>.css" title="User Defined Style"> <link rel="alternative stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $color ?>.css" title="User Defined Style"> <link rel="alternative stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $size ?>.css" title="User Defined Style"> <link rel="alternative stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $font ?>.css" title="User Defined Style"> </head> <body> Change Background Color<br> <a href="switcher_background.php?background=background_black">Black</a><br> <a href="switcher_background.php?background=background_red">Red</a><br> <a href="switcher_background.php?background=background_green">Green</a><br> <a href="switcher_background.php?background=background_blue">Blue</a><br> <br>Change Alignment<br> <a href="switcher_alignment.php?alignment=alignment_left">Left</a><br> <a href="switcher_alignment.php?alignment=alignment_center">Center</a><br> <a href="switcher_alignment.php?alignment=alignment_right">Right</a><br> <br>Change Font Size<br> <a href="switcher_size.php?size=size_small">Small</a><br> <a href="switcher_size.php?size=size_medium">Medium</a><br> <a href="switcher_size.php?size=size_large">Large</a><br> <br>Change Font Color<br> <a href="switcher_color.php?color=color_yellow">Yellow</a><br> <a href="switcher_color.php?color=color_white">White</a><br> <br>Change Font<br> <a href="switcher_font.php?font=font_verdana">Verdana</a><br> <a href="switcher_font.php?font=font_georgia">Georgia</a> </body> </html> [/code] Here is the code from switcher_background.php: (there are individual switchers for each style change) [code] <?php session_start(); if ( ! session_is_registered("background") ) {     session_register("background");     } $_SESSION['background'] = $_GET['background']; header("Location: ".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ); ?> [/code]
