Well, impressive, I will keep this in mind. I use far lower tech
and humbler approach for everything (because of my faults,
recently on full display at alt.html, I need to be especially
humble before God...)
With the client next to me I have a whole lot of stylesheet links
and turn them on and off with simple <!-- and --> or move them up
and down in the head list. They can be enormously impressed by
this geeky flourish of diving into what is for them
incomprehensible source and making a spectacular change to the
website.
When providing links to drafts I just send a few links to the
different versions. http://www.blueVersion.html and
http://www.crimsonVersion.html etc.
When I next have such a client, and if he or she agrees to throw
me a few shekels, I will pay you with another tale for your
pastor.
