Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

I do printable formats with XSSI & stylesheets (I swap a few other
bits out too), testing for the querystring of ?printable.

Here's how:
<!--#if expr="$QUERY_STRING = 'printable'" -->

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/print.css" />
   </head>
   <body>
      <table border="0" width="90%" class="cookie">
        <tr class="cookie" >
            <td>
                 You are here: <a href="/" class="crumb">easyweb.co.uk</a>

<!--#else -->
<!--#include virtual="/resources/top2.fhtml" -->
<!--#endif -->

(I actually use an include for the printable bits, but wanted to expand it to
make it clear).

So actually, it's setting the stylesheet from an SSI variable, not the other
way round. Remember that the includes are parsed and included long before
it gets to anything which might understand the stylesheet.

Cheers
Martin

I'm wanting to load certain fragment files based on the stylesheet that is
loaded... I know you can set variables, and then <!--#if expr="(insert
variable here)=">  blah blah blah and on and on..

but the Variables seem limited to date, time, browser, screen res, and a
few others...   Is it possible for me to set a variable name to the style
sheet that's loaded?  I have no idea if i'm making sense? or if there
might be a better way to go about it.
