actually with css you can write three or more css files and let the user or client click on a JavaScript link to choose one of the files rather than having them choose fonts or sizes which as you know can cause havoc with a well laid out page. Each css file could have different images, table colors, bg colors and fonts to give the site a personal look. bob L _�,���`�`��[[ www.RE-data.com ]]��`�`���,�_ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hewitt, Cheryl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 10:54 AM Subject: [wdvltalk] RE: Customer editable web pages. : J.R., : : To allow for administrative control of the content I create an admin : directory. : : Each section needs to have add, insert, edit and update pages.
