tsk tsk tsk Microsoft

I thought that Microsoft was getting better at the web standard bit. Zeldman has pointed out that their latest redesign is about as bad as they get as far as web standards go. Can you say evil <font> tag?

Can you tell me why the page loads in the yellow color and then switches to my default color scheme only after it loads? I'm on Windows IE 6.??? Thanks, iolaire

That's a limitation of the javascript method I'm using to handle the style switching. I could potentially do it with server side scripting and prevent it, but I'm too lazy at the moment ;-)

yea, it is loading for me at yellow, but has "multicolored" in the switch box as default. I have to switch it manually every time.

The switch box doesn't show the currently selected them, just all themes. Do you have cookies disabled perchance? Your preference is stored in a cookie.

C'mon lazy boy! Spend the 20 minutes to bake a couple of cookies for your style switcher... if you'd like, I'll do it for you ;)
