The easiest was would be to copy the CSS that you already have rename it and change the values to what you want.
Then on the pages that you want it to work on put :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="were it is /what it is called.css">
Then you are away

its all linked, and im happy with that.
but lets call my new sheet, style2.css
do i have to create a new index.html saying linking to style2.css?

As leighton says, just change that line of code to point to your new CSS file. It will be found in the <head> tags of the page near the start of hte file

just have one stylesheet to do all the changes and div the tags to do different things.
like style 1 to have a different tag to style 2.

So you list all the style sheets within one index.html and link to them?
i was thinking you only had one css sheet per header!

I think everyone else so far has read your post wrong..........you want to change between styles yes?
I haven't done it myself but if you see the source code of http://www.virtualplastic.net/ you will see how they have done it.
Hope that helps,
Andrew

As I say, not done it myself and have no idea how the browser remembers the style set but not too difficult I guess....

well I'd have thought cookies but looking at the code for the above site it didn't jump out that they were using any......suppose they must've been though.

Must be client side somewhere - there's nothing being sent back.
That site is using the ALA Javascript file. Used it myself on some stuff a while back, its easy enough. Read this - http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/
