Afternoon all,

I've been working on my proof of concept for the cluster of pages I'm building, and I've now successfully managed to get my data retrieved from the stored procs in the pre-existing database, and displayed via manually building a table. 

So, now I need to integrate CSS into this.  Once I've got that working, I think the boss will be happy (or at least a tad lest touchy about the progress or perceived lack thereof)

Now, right now, I'm going to be pointing it to a single CSS file, which I will know the location of.  In the future, I'll be wanting to point to different CSS files, depending on the path\URL of the page the user is at.

My concern is, that according to what I've read regarding CSS, and mind you, I've worked with it like one time, about 5 years ago, on a single page, the linkage or internal css stuff has to be loaded in the page header, although inline stuff obvious goes wherever...

So, my question is, how do I get the CSS info into the page from the module?  Since it's going to be dynamically determined, I can't use any of the functionality I've seen in other skins or containers to hard code the values...

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Brian

Firstly, CSS doesn't necessarily need to go in the header, though it's best if it does.  You can access the header by casting the page to DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault and accessing the Header control.  It could look something like this (in C#)

((DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault)this.Page).Header.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(@"<link type=""text/css"" href=""" + GetCssUrl() + """/>"));

Or, you can just link dynamically to the CSS in the body of your control.  Something like this:

<style type="text/css">
@import url(<%=GetCssUrl() %>)
</style>

 

Hope it helps,
