thanks for replying, so really I should have any page specific js files in different folder. The hit counter is on the dashboard, just a quick indicator of website traffic each day, but since installing the slideshow, the hit counter has gone through the roof sorta speak.

Yes you so right about the css folder (tut tut i know) I probably should merge the ones I use into the main stylesheet? been a bit nervous of messing things up.
BTW on a slightly different note, I really like the layout of your loveboxboutique dot com website, have been trying to get something similar working around the slideshow using banners but the banners not behaving correctly or I am not really getting it, if you have any tips that would be great thanks
