Hi, I am working on a site... www.goldenumber.co.uk/john_carter/ I would like to be able to let the visitor choose the background image. At the moment the image is an orange one but I would like to be able to change that by clicking one of the images on the left. Short of duplicating all the pages and changing all the links I can't think of a way. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Matt.

I don't have any specific recommendations, but you'd need to write or find a JavaScript that could switch out the background color or lined CSS file when a link (the image?) is clicked. Google something like "setting css styles with javascript" or similar, for instance:

Nate, I'm sorry to bug you... regarding <http://www.thesitewizard.com/javascripts/change-style-sheets.shtml> I have almost got it working. I am not quite clear where to put the javascript and what to call it. Do I save it as a .js file? I am also not quite clear how I would make a clickable image the trigger for changing the background. I have got it so that I can change the background image using the view page style function. Any help greatly appreciated!
Matt.

As you were. I seem to have worked it out by trial and error.
Many thanks for your help.
Matt.
