I recently joined the group and am very happy to be a part! I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a tutorial? I'm a fairly new person to CSS. I have been programming with Cold Fusion for many years and am familiar with the creation of a page...creating the connection statements in CF to hook the information from a database to my page...but I'm not sure how to accomplish this in CSS. I'm not using any particular tools to create my pages (just using notepad). Are there any tutorials that help with the creation of a page to create an output query to a CSS page?
Thanks! Lynn Keen Keen Web Design CSS_Only Yahoo Group
CSS doesn't do back-end connectivity, it's just used for defining the appearance of the code you output. If you want to continue to use a database you'll need to choose a language you feel comfortable with (sticking with CF is just fine) and then apply your CSS styles to the code output from there.
CF is out...I'm not hosting and don't have the CF server option. I'm using a host that is primarily an ASP, MySQL...and I have no experience with ASP. If I could get a 'quick' tutorial on that...I'd go that way.
this bit of code is telling php that it is a css file. and to replace the -- with # when its done. if you have a color value in the css above you must start it with -- rather than #
I hope this is something you were looking for. if it is and you are confused you may email me (webmaster@suburbanwebcreations.com) your msn or aim and i will help you out. Cheers
Hi Phil! Not what I was looking for - but AWESOME information and I will certainly store it for future! I have a 'CSS developers' group and those types of tips are certainly helpful to aid in my teaching skills!
