Style-Switching
I've been doing some editing over at the wedding website to do a little style-switching. I thought it would be fun to have different stylesheets so people could change looks. After much late-night tinkering I managed to get A List Apart's styleswitcher to work in IE and Firefox, but there's a known issue with Safari - it works but the cookie doesn't stick around so as soon as you surf to another page it's gone. I also adopted changes from Back-up Brain. Anyhow, it still doesn't work in Safari so I've kind of given up, but if anyone knows of a better, easy system for someone like me who doesn't know Javascipt from Java, or PHP from CGI, please let me know.
Seeing as the wedding site is for a fairly limited audience, I'm not concerned about making sure it works on every system, but it would be nice if my family, all of whom use Safari, could pick the sheets. It would fun to do it on this site as well. This is seriously making me question my loyalty to Safari.

Thanks for the link!
I don't quite know what the problem is with Safari or how to solve it to work 100% of the time. It may depend what version of it you're running. But sometimes what works is to delete all the relevant cookies, quit the browser, relaunch it, and then go back to your page.
Hope that helps!
