Putting a variable in a style statement

[Papa Bear]

Hi All

I have the following line in an ASP page

<tr><td style="text-align:center;font-size: xx-large;color:green"><%=CompanyRS("Company_Name")%></td></tr>

This prints the company name at the top of an invoice.

What I would like to do is replace the word 'Green' with <%=CompanyRS("Company_Colour") so the user can change the colour of the heading. I just can not work out the format. Can anybody help please.

Or is there a better way using a style sheet?

Steve

Sorry, I put this in the wrong thread. Should be in HTML

why can't you do it the same way you display the company name?

<tr><td style="text-align:center;font-size: xx-large;color:[COLOR=red]<%=CompanyRS("Company_Colour")%>[/color]"><%=CompanyRS("Company_Name")%></td></tr>

That worked OK. Thanks
I actually tried that in my code, but because my editer did not high light the ASP delimiters as usual ie [COLOR=black yellow} <% %> [/color](I use Visual web developer 2010 express), I thought it was an error and did not run it. Ahhhh!
