Again, great job!

Are you getting that --WEBBOTSELF-- thing with the drop down menu?

Front Page has the ability to make a drop down, the problem is getting the selection to go to a web page. It wants to e-mail the results. Also the reason I kept getting the webbot error thing is because there was no FP extensions I am thinking. There is probably a script out there that will do what you want. I have some resources I will look into if I get the time here at work which may not be easy. I got tasked with a bull$hit job today so I will be busy for the most part.

Oops :oops: I guess one more revision is in order. Will be done tonight. Is Vladd the only friend of the forum? I figured there would be more.

I understand now. I had major PC probs last night and didn't get around to working on anything so no new revisions today.

here is something I got from a webmaster forum on your drop down menu idea for changing themes on the homepage. I have no idea how to implement it but if I get time this weekend I'll give it a shot. I have access to the code for all the themes created already so I can play around with it. Hopefully I'll learn something and figure this out.

For your style-sheet-switching pleasure, A List Apart offers the Switcher, a piece of JavaScript that dynamically changes page styles. Functional as it is, it quite unfortunately relies on the user to have both JavaScript and cookies enabled. There’s not much we can do about the cookies, but we can sidestep client-side processing with a little help from PHP.

PHP is a scripting language available on many, many servers. It’s fast, it’s free, it’s open source and it handles everything on the server side, so there’s no need to worry about users who have disabled client-side scripting in their browsers. If you’re not sure if your host has PHP installed, just ask them!

STAGE ONE: Setting styles
The first step is to create a new file on your server named switcher.php and paste the following code into it. (Line wraps are marked ». –Ed.)

<?php
setcookie ('sitestyle', $set, time()+31536000, »
'/', 'yourdomain.com', '0');
header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");
?>
When it’s queried, this file will write a cookie for the user detailing which site style to use. The cookie is set to expire in one year, and then the script sends the user back to the referring page. All of this happens behind the scenes, so the user will never really “seeâ€

The drop down menu script works. All we need to figure out is the switching script and determine what the default theme will be. I am assuming Subsilver.
