I'm getting the following error after I try using a new skin I created:

Could Not Load Skin: /Portals/_default/Skins/html3/skin.ascx Error: The ID 'ContentPane' is already used by another control.

Any idea why this may be?  My .zip file I uploaded through the interface as host contains (in same directory) a few images, a style.css file, skin.xml file, Skin.htm file.  The skin.xml file has the following lines of code:

<objects>
 <object>
  <token>[CONTENTPANE:1]</token>
  <settings>
   <setting>
    <name>ID</name>
    <value>LeftPane</value>
   </setting>
  </settings>
 </object>
</objects>

My Skin.htm file is only using [CONTENTPANE], [CONTENTPANE:1], [DOTNETNUKE]

Thank you for this suggestion.  I'm still getting the same error however:

Could Not Load Skin: /Portals/_default/Skins/html4/skin.ascx Error: The ID 'ContentPane' is already used by another control.

In my skin.xml file I have the following code:

<objects>
    <object>
        <token>[CONTENTPANE:1]</token>
        <settings>
            <setting>
                <name>ID</name>
                <value>LeftPane</value>
            </setting>
        </settings>
    </object>
    <object>
        <token>[CONTENTPANE:2]</token>
        <settings>
            <setting>
                <name>ID</name>
                <value>MainPane</value>
            </setting>
        </settings>
    </object>
</objects>

I'm only using CONTENTPANE:1 and CONTENTPANE:2 in my Skin.htm file.  I am only trying to upload a skin file vs. any containers at this time.  I don't get any preview rendered in the preview box after I upload my skin ZIP file as well.

Any further suggestions, etc. would be very much appreciated... starting to loose sleep over this! :)

I am not sure about this, but I think you have to have one pane with an id of  "contentpane", in your skin.  It looks like you have one called "leftpane" and another called "mainpane" but not one called "contentpane".

I would recommend not putting those token references in your XML file and naming your panes directly in the skin.

i.e. <div ID="leftpane" class="thisclass" runat="server"></div>.  I KNOW that works.

The conventional naming scheme that most skin designers use is "toppane", "leftpane", "contentpane", "rightpane" and "bottompane" - at least for those five panes.  If the user switches skins from a skin with panes named in the standard fashion, to a skin with unusual named panes, DNN will try to fit the content into panes with the names that correspond to the pane names of the original skin.  If the pane names in the new  skin do not correspond, DNN will put the content into the pane called "contentpane".

Thank you for this advice.  This is what I have in my Skin.htm file currently:

<table width="100%" style="height:100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
        <td height="79" colspan="2" id="topHeader">
            <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                <tr>
                    <td width="172"><img src="logo.gif" alt="CIEE" width="129" height="79" /></td>
                    <td align="left"><img src="hdSC.gif" alt="" width="176" height="70" /></td>
                    <td width="197" align="center"><a href="."><img src="hdPictures.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="71" border="0" /></a></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="172" valign="top" id="mainNav">[CONTENTPANE:1]</td>
        <td valign="top" id="contentFrame">[CONTENTPANE:2]</td>
    </tr>
    <tr id="footerFrame">
        <td colspan="2">Copyright message here...</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Are you suggesting I try something like the following, not defining anything in skin.xml?  I am not quite sure when I need to define objects in skin.xml by the way:

<table width="100%" style="height:100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
        <td height="79" colspan="2" id="topHeader">
            <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                <tr>
                    <td width="172"><img src="logo.gif" alt="CIEE" width="129" height="79" /></td>
                    <td align="left"><img src="hdSC.gif" alt="" width="176" height="70" /></td>
                    <td width="197" align="center"><a href="."><img src="hdPictures.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="71" border="0" /></a></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="172" valign="top" class="mainNav" id="leftpane"></td>
        <td valign="top" class="contentFrame" id="contentpane"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr id="footerFrame">
        <td colspan="2">Copyright message...</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Thanks again for your help with this.
