Can anyone tell me if its possible to dynamically attach a style sheet from a MySql database so that I can present my users with a different page layout depending upon their login?
I'm using Dreamweaver and when I go to attach a style sheet there is the option to choose the file from a recordset but I've never managed to get it working yet so wondered if anyone else has?

Kind regards

Hi

Have done something similar awhile ago.

I had a database that held the link to the different style sheets.

I then adjusted the css link on the page

so

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/styles/style.css" />

would become somthing like

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("ID_Style".Value)%>" />

Then set the style database to return the record dependent on the user logged in.

hope this helps

regards
