Hi

I was wondering how do you change a background color of html page,
from aspx page.
I know how to do it from a html page tried the same logic but didn't worh on my aspx page.

It depends on your setup! However you can do it with style sheets like this...

Code:

<STYLE>
   BODY { background:#000000; }
</STYLE>

With the STYLE tags it has to be in the .aspx file, but you can put it in a seperate file aswell.

You say that you can't do it with the same logic as you used to. How is your setup? You have an aspx page, on which you have a BODY tag right!? Or?

Hope it helps

Jacob.

Hi

I have evertthing in seperate files including my style sheets.
I tried for my aspx page document.body.style.bgcolor=variable
Get error it doesn't recognize Document

Are you sure that the stuff declared in your style sheet is actually used? Does your inclusion of the external CSS file work!? If it does you should be able to include the following declaration in the style sheet file...

Code:

BODY { background:#000000; }

It works fine for me. Have you tried to view source after loading the page?

Hope it helps

My style sheet works fine, everything works. What i am asking is how to set the background color from aspx page, at run time.

Example The client is presented with a drop down box and he can select a color then press a submit button and change the background color.
I ve seen it down and not only that, the person calls a method from his style sheet which returns a string(Black) which is located in his aspx page.

Ex Body{
background - color <% method name %>
}

I can di it from the client side using javascript was wondering how to do it from the server side.
Thanks
