This topic came up a several days ago. Read the archives for more details than what I can remember right now.
1. Create multiple CSS files. One file will contain only layout and formatting. Then, create individual CSS files that contain only color information. You would have an individual CSS file for each color theme, however, you only need a single CSS file for layout. In your CF template, just use a CF construct to determine which CSS "color" file to use. This is nice because the browser can cache the CSS files. 2. Use CF to generate the CSS dynamically and use CFCONTENT to pass the correct CSS document type. (More information in these archives.) This is not as good because CF must process the CSS page, then then send it to the browser. The browser won't cache the CSS.

Instead of having 12 different stylesheets to cover for the year i wanted to have some CF code at top of my CSS page, something like: <cfswitch expression="#thisMonth#"> <cfcase value="january"> <cfset myColour = "#08BF83"> </cfcase> <cfcase value="february"> <cfset myColour = "#085F83"> </cfcase> <cfcase value="march"> <cfset myColour = "#08B383"> </cfcase> </cfswitch> So when I get down to the part in the stylesheet which says: a.preferences:hover { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #8DC63F; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 6px; border: 1px solid <cfoutput>#myColour#</cfoutput>; margin: 5px 4px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10px; } I've never tried this, do CF tags work in CSS? Thanks for you time, Saturday ps: for those North Americans... <cfset myColour = "myColor"> ;) (it's actually looks weird seeing it written as 'colour' nowadays). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:188652 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
