Preferred stylesheet not showing

I have creating a web page at
http://www.interface-web.co.uk/atyc/cssproblem.htm which is supposed to
use a preferred stylesheet to style the page on the first visit and
then allows the user to pick an alternative stylesheet.

You can do this from "Style your page design" and it uses the
alternative style script from alistapart.com

Whilst the system works well once a user has picked a style, when the
page first appears it is unstyled even though I think I've specified a
preferred style sheet. My understanding is that the browser should
show this by default??

Where am I going wrong? I'm sure it's something stupid I've missed!

Thanks for any help.

It works OK in Opera 9, and Firefox... damnit, it even works in MSIE! No

sight of unstyled pages here...

Thanks! Still behaving strangely in mine (2 separate machines). Now
have another, more involved problem which I've posted separately as
it's a bit of a different issue.

Thanks for your help.
