I'm trying to set up a dynamic stylesheet with certain variables pulled fom the database. It's working as expected, with the exception of the "body" attributes. I can't get any of them to work, whether from the database or hard coded.
I've had this problem in the past. I'm not sure but I think it was an IE browser issue. I ended up putting the color in the <body> tag. You could also try a class.
I'm not sure why it happens, but I noticed the first style in my stylesheet fails to work. It doesn't matter which one it is, but whichever is the first defined just doesn't do anything. I got around it by adding a "dummy" style first, like so...
Sorry, I didn't see it. Also, could you give a link to what it's outputting. Usually I have it to whenever I update the db containing the values the script also creates or overwrites my style sheet. (I do this with a db backed rss feed but same concept.) Although, I do this in php so I can't help with this. This also makes it a static file and not made each time someone requests it and with a style sheet I would imagine quite a lot. I don't know what's wrong until I see what's being outputted.

thats it! thats the same problem I was having. It's been awhile since I messed with external style sheets. I went back and looked at all my old work and all the css have a dummy class to start it off. I wish I'd left some notes, it seems like it was browser specific though.
