Hi GoPo, not sure if you can do this... i've never heard of it.
Depending on what you wish to acheive then perhaps you could have several stylesheets and incude them dynaically according to data pulled from the database?

If you do find a way to do this please post.

Thanks

I think GoPo is trying to pull data from a database into a CSS formatted page. Right?

 

[GoPo]

I want to put db information into a CSS style sheet(.css) and then I'm going to format a page.

Well you would have to save it as an .asp page and then include it into the main page
<%
connStr=&quot;Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=&quot; & server.mappath(&quot;database.mdb&quot & &quot;;Jet OLEDBatabase Password=&quot;
set rs=server.createobject(&quot;adodb.recordset&quot
rs.open &quot;select * from cssstylestable&quot;,connStr
%>

<style type=text/css>
a.nav {color : <%=rs(&quot;anavfield&quot%>;font-family: <%=rs(&quot;fontfield&quot%>}
</style>
<%
rs.close
set rs=nothing
%>

and so on for all the styles...

I agree with GaryC123. It's just text, and text is data, so assuming you have some means of saving the formatting settings to the database (like a user customization screen of some kind) you just load those things dynamically into a embedded stylesheet.

You don't need to embed your CSS in the HTML, I have written an app where I use the tag

<LINK REL=&quot;stylesheet&quot; TYPE=&quot;text/css&quot; HREF=&quot;../style/style.asp&quot; />

to include a dynamically created stylesheet...

This is not a bug - it's an undocumented feature...
;-)

I'm using
<!--#INCLUDE file=&quot;../script/CSS.inc&quot; -->

as my style sheet and it works

Thanks evryone for your help.
