I dont want to have make two pages for each thing. I want it where when I change one page it changes in both layouts.

Help please

Hi scott,
Not quite sure what you mean but it does sound like you want to make frames. This gives the ability to display more than one web page ( a frame ), at a time and enables you to control then from a single ( or more ), frame such as with a drop-down menu etc.

If this is so then you need to brush up quicky on how to use frames and also iFrames ( frames within frames ).
Try;

for a quick run through.
If this is not what you want then please post back with, say, an example of what you have in mind cos the link does not show that clearly.

Regards,
Ges.

It sounds to me like you're talking about when people have skins for their web sites, and you can click on the layout you want to view the site in.

It's simply called "skinning" a website, it's predominately done with PHP. Here are a couple of tutorials:

http://codegrrl.com/!/tutorials/view/skinning_your_site/

And the google results if you don't like either of those tutorials:

You can use CSS to have a "skining" effect. This site: CSS Zen Garden (http://csszengarden.com/) shows ways it is done with CSS.

Thank you and I am looking at all this stuff. I think frames is what I was looking for but I will read it all. Thanks so much.

Where exactly on that Zen Gardens can you find the skinning CSS tutorial, please? I have searched around it but I can't seem to find the instructions

They don't call it skinning. (I think skinning is a php thing) They just show how differnt designs can be done with some basic css skills and very little changes from one style sheet to another. If you click from one design to another you'll see what I mean. Plus they don't have instructions the way other CSS sites do. They do have files for downloading

BTW. It is much more suitable when facing a new problem to ask in a new thread and not add to an older one.
