it doesn't??? What was I doing last night then? I woudn't expect it to work
from teh browser side, but the links in the readme sure appeared fine for me.
Is this a rule that I missed? What is happening when you try it?

Are you using the EXE version of the server, by any chance? That would certainly prevent the patch of HTTP.pm from working, and explain the lack of proper display when changing to the alternate styles. Basically, its like the other stylesheets don't exist.

Yes, I am using slim.exe. I presume I need activeperl to run the slimserver.pl script. Is the cygwin perl known to work?

Either one should work fine.

Actually, cygwin perl is known *not* to work. Please use ActivePerl.

Yeah, I'm discovering that.

Ok, problem solved. It was that I was using slim.exe and not slimserver.pl which caused the problem. It is clear now that slim.exe includes a pre-compiled version of Web/HTTP.pm. Perhaps a quick edit to the instructions indicating not to use slim.exe and instead use slimserver.pl. w/ActivePerl might help others.

I'm not sure I understand how this is much different from the techniques I've
got in use here. I've changed the ordering of stylesheets, no longer using
'alternate stylesheet'. I'm not sure I want to care about trapping document.all
for dealing with IE4 (in fact, I recall specifically taking it out of another
script becuase it caused confusion somewhere). Otherwise, the styleswitcher
scripts are very much the same, unless I'm missing something.

Whoops, I stand corrected. Just tried it again and it does work in
Safari, dunno why it wasn't cooperating this morning. Sorry for the
false alarm!

np. Thanks for the tips, though. It was good to get the full explanation of
the quirks. After reading that, I'll have to test with Mozilla.
