Hello,

I am wondering how I can give a site administrator the ability to change a CSS property easily. Specifically, a client would like to be able to change the background of the entire site by uploading the desired background. However, currently the only way I know I can do that is to change it in the skin, repackage the skin, and then upload it.

Is it possible to (1) expose CSS properties to site administrators so that they can edit a CSS property of the skin and (2) if it is possible to have one of tjose exposed properties be a file upload conrtol of sorts so that they can upload the skin?

I realize that there is a way for the administrator to go in and change the CSS directly but I am wondering if it is possible to expose the functionality without the site administrator needing knowledge of CSS.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Christopher Koeber

Nevermind. I figured that I could create a ContentPane that loaded behind everything (using the position:absolute and z-index:-1 css properties).

Now I can load either a Media or HTML module and the site administrator can load any background they want easily,

Thanks for anyone who looked at or thought about this.
