My client would like a different specific background color for each page. The skins are otherwise identical. If possible I would like to avoid stamping out a new skin for each of the many colors.

I could place a overriding style element in a module.

<style>
.somebackgroundclass {background:#FFFFFF;}
<style>

But placing style elements within the body tag of a page is a no-no and causes validation errors.

 Another thought is to create a small stylesheet for each color with the same name as the page and placing something like this in the skin.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="<%=SkinPath%>colors/<%=Portalsettings.TabName%>.css" />

This methods validates but makes it painful to add/change a color or add/change a page name. Too bad there isn't an unused page variable I could use for the page color.

Does anyone know of a clever way of modifying a style class at the page level?

Thanks, using the div method would have been better then creating separate stylesheets.

Using DNN 5.1.1, after some trial and error I found that the Page Setting's "Page Header Tags" field inserts its contents directly into the page header without any kind of wrapper. I always thought it inserted its contents into a "meta" tag.

Placing my style element into this field works like a charm.
