Ah, teknoid... I've seen that solution before, albeit with different
variable names, but that would be the exact solution I was looking
for. Thanks.
The reason I don't want to create separate CSS files (usually the best
solution) is two-fold.
1. I can't think of a way to apply IE conditional styling with Cake's
built in $html->css() method unless I create a layout specifically for
this purpose - but without the additional variable in the layout that
you suggested, I probably wouldn't have figured out how to do that
properly anyway.
2. I'd rather not have multiple stylesheets specific to a single web
address on the server - that can add up rather quickly. I foresee
administration wanting other forms recreated on the web, and with just
30 forms, that approximately 90 CSS files unrelated to core CSS styles
for regular layout.
I've used the default.ctp layout supplied by Cake's core so often to
recreate functionality, I completely forgot I could add my own
variables to it, and that they would be accessible from my views.
Thanks again.
