Just to make sure I understand you, Beau, the php code you show is the content of that cssmaker.php that you put in the href?
Not sure if I can duplicate that with CF - it's that "header" bit that is the biggest problem I guess. Does anyone know if there's a similar function in CF?

You can do this with something like PHP, just a script that does something like this <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cssmaker.php" /> <?php header('Content-type: text/css'); echo 'H1 { font-family: Arial; } // etc! ?> obviously, once you have something like that running, you can just change it so that the echo line pulls content from a database, then dumps it out, pretending to be a stylesheet :) HTH Beau -- Beau Lebens Information Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dented Reality - www.dentedreality.com.au Information Architecture, Usability, Web Development Seona Bellamy said: > > Hi guys, > > Is this even possible?
