hey folks,
I was wondering if it’s possible to address tv’s in css files.
say, I’ve got a tv named "test" (text) with the value 100. Well, in HTML docs I get "100" with [*test*]; But in CSS, f.e. "width: [*test*]px;" does not work.
How can I archive that?
My content should be separated in 4 div’s, and they need to change width and background image on every main menu point ...
Hope you can get me!
Thanks a lot,
Simon

I’ve not tried this but I would think that in order to use a TV in a CSS file that the CSS file would have to be a MODx document and be called in your template head so that it would be parsed by the MODx parser.
Traditionally if you include a link to the css file in the head of your template the CSS isn’t parsed because it is fetched by the HTML ouptut by MODx. If you have it as a MODx document you will be grabbing it via MODx and therefore all tvs, and other MODx tags will be parsed and then output to the browser.
Hope this helps.
