Thanks Annie

> I give the user a choice of color combinations each choice has its own
stylesheet I store the users selection in a database. I pick up the users
stylesheet selection as they come into the site, store it in a session
variable and use it in the Link statement
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%=session("CSSPath")%>" type="text/css">
The user doesn't get to choose any color they like but it's simple and you
don't have to touch the code to change the colors.

Subject: [asp_web_howto] Dynamically generate text styles


I am working on a version of our website that will allow people to choose 
the colour scheme they see on screen when they log into their account. Now 
obviously if the colour changes then any text written on that colour 
shoudl change to be readable e.g. black text on white, white text on 
black. We use stylesheets and basically i can think how best to tie up the 
variable determining background colour and the colour of the text. The 
best i have come up with so far is to have multiple styles within the 
stylesheet and change the class/p style depending on the background colour 
variable.

I am also concerned about the impact of <%=> every time i add a background 
colour etc..has ayone got any suggestions about what i am doing in general

cheers
