J

Can you change the page background colour in the code-behind module ? or is
it HTML encoded and therefore only programmable via javascript ?

Sorry for being dense - a Page object does not have an Attributes property,
I dont know how to get a Body object from the code-behind module.

In the code behind:

Public strBodyColor as String

Then set the string in the Page Load event


In the ASPX file:

<body color='<%strBodyColor%>'>

This will write the value of the string from the code behind onto the ASPX
page.

In the code behind, add:

Public strBodyColor as String

Then set the string in the Page Load event or whereever else you like.


In the ASPX file, edit your body tag:

<body color='<%=strBodyColor%>'>

This will write the value of the string from the code behind onto the ASPX
page.

once again...
Add a "runat=server" to the <BODY> tag.
In the codebehind make the declaration as a generic html contol.
call it.

Also, did you try to look it up at all? in < 30 seconds of searching I found
dozens of references to it.
