Hey,

A few days or maybe a week ago I saw a link posted in this forum about a website that uses the same HTML code but only the CSS changes to give a totaly different style of the site.

I've tried searching and searching but I can't find it! Does anyone have a link to it or the thread in this forum?

Thanks,

Try searching the net for css style switcher and you'll get millions of hits. CSS makes this very easy to do and there are loads of tutorials online to get you started. This site used to have a style switching mechanism (changed everything to kubuntu colours) but it seems to have gone.

You might be thinking of the css Zen Garden? Worth a look, though too many of the designs are fixed width layout for my liking. http://www.csszengarden.com/

Many websites can do this, mine does it too. I first saw it at CSSZengarden.

This is the whole idea behind CSS, AFAIK - to make websites skinnable.

Actually its to separate presentation from structure.
Years ago you use to define the colours within the page.
Css allows for a theme to be carried through out the site.
