texte = Nicolas & Christer, Thank you! I should probably do this checking for a cookie and setting the mime headers in an include on each page as many people bookmark a lot of the pages on this site. And if the person does not allow cookies to be set (I guess I would test for cookies by setting a cookie then trying to read it right back? If no cookie then they don't allow them?), then the site will work, they just won't be able to customize anything on the site. Of course exactly how much and whyt features will be allowed to be customized is still being worked out. Thanks again!
