Apologies for the initial top post. Running too fast.
Michael, many thanks for the explanation, it has served to open some
insights about the difference between generated and server code, which I
had not understood clearly.

It's an easy mistake to make.
Remember that CSS is a browser-side language, just like HTML and
JavaScript. The code you're looking at on your server is not CSS code
- it's a template (or PHP code, or whatever) that your server uses to
*generate* HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
The browser doesn't see any of that server code. It doesn't know about
PHP or those substitution variables or anything like that. All it sees
is the final output.
So if you're troubleshooting CSS, look at the generated CSS, not the
server code. Use View Source or other browser tools so that you see
what the browser is seeing. Then if something is amiss, you can refer
back to the server template or code that generated your CSS.

Follow-on...
Pulled the trigger just a minute too soon. It was defined in
another file using the str_replace() function. At least I assume
this is where it is defined. It looks like this:
$text=str_replace("<LOGOCOLOR>","#".$logocolor,$text);
I have not yet tracked down the other variables.

I am working with a style sheet that makes wide use of this
syntax:
TABLE.BODY{
border-style: solid;
border-color: <LOGOCOLOR>;
background-color: <BGCOLOR>;
}
I have done a good deal of searching on CSS sites without
finding anything that addresses this. I assume that the
brackets refer to a previously defined value, but I thus far I
don't have any idea where to look.
Any suggestions?
