dectecting Background-Color setting

Sam

Hi all

I'm looking for a way to detect the background color of my internal webpage
through a stylesheet. And so far, the only solution I find is to open the
styles.css file and parse the BACKGROUND-COLOR field. The problem I'm
having is that I don't know the exact absolute path of the stylesheet file
(styles.css) to access it using stream reader. I have tried to use the
"Path.GetFullPa th" method of the system.IO to get the absolute path but this
method does not seem to return the correct path. It does with the Window
app.

1. Is there a way to open this file based on relative path of the web
current directory
2. Does anyone have any other way to find BACKGROUND-COLOR setting?

Thank You

Sam

Yes, use the Server.MapPath command.

i.e. Server.MapPath( "/MyFolder/Test.css") will return c:\inetpub\wwwr oot
\MyFolder\test. css.
2. Does anyone have any other way to find BACKGROUND-COLOR setting?

Manual parsing is the only way : (

You could do this :

1. Make your body element a GenericHtml Control
by adding ID and runat attributes :

<body id="Body1" runat="server">

2. Access the background-color :

string var = Body1.Attribute s["bgcolor"];
or
dim var as string = Body1.Attribute s("bgcolor")

You could also use Steven Cheng's code-behind code :

<body id="bd" runat="server" >
=============== ====

public class BgColorPage : System.Web.UI.P age
{
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Text Box txtColor;
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on btnSubmit;
protected HtmlGenericCont rol bd;
=============== ============

private void btnSubmit_Click (object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
System.Drawing. Color bgcolor =
System.Drawing. ColorTranslator .FromHtml(txtCo lor.Text);

bd.Style["BACKGROUND-COLOR"] = System.Drawing. ColorTranslator .ToHtml(bgcolor );
}

That code works for setting it.
For retrieving it, if you use that code, you could just use :

string var = bd.Style["BACKGROUND-COLOR"];

Launch a background task from a PHP script?

by: Francois Bonzon | last post by:

Any idea how I can launch a background task from a PHP script? For example, when a user posts on my message board, it may fire many e-mail notifications to other users, and other tasks. I want the posting confirmation page to end displaying quickly, without waiting for those notifications or other tasks to complete.

Dilemma with background images (putting borders on DIVs)
