Hmm... that's a definite possibility. Might have to think a bit about that one. Thanks. :)
 
If the "stylesheet" were to be included in the head of the document, rather than an external file, this should work....
 
Cheers,
 
Seona.

you could use inline styles to pull the required value(s) from the database. eg: (background-color: <% your.recordset.value %>;)
 
dynamically generating a css document from a dbase is beyond my feeble skills.

Subject: [WSG] Dynamically populating stylesheets?


Hi guys,

Is this even possible? What I have is a site that gives people a chance to
set up their own information sections where they can record their own
content. I would like that an account holder can state which colours, font
sizes, font styles, etc they want for their section and have this
information gets recorded in a database. That's the easy bit, and I can do
that no problem. What I need then if that when a user navigates to a
particular section, the system pulls these values from the database and
populates the stylesheet with them so that the section displays in the
requested colours and styles.

If it makes any difference, I'm working in ColdFusion.

Of course, if this is just a pipe dream then I'll just have to sit down and
figure out another way around the problem. Id really prefer not to have to
use the selection form as a way for account holders to email me their
preferences so I can make them a new stylesheet if I can help it... :)

Cheers,

Seona.
