Can style sheets accept variables?
I wanted to change the following using variables but doesnt seem to work for frames…

body { margin: 0; overflow: hidden;}
#top { height: 15%; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; border: 0;}
#bottom { height: 85%; width: 100%; overflow: auto; border: 0;}

using variable1 and variable2

body { margin: 0; overflow: hidden;}
#top { height: variable1%; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; border: 0;}
#bottom { height: variable2%; width: 100%; overflow: auto; border: 0;}

Very very simple PHP script:[code=php]<?php
header('content-type:text/css; charset=iso-8859-1');
header('Pragma: no-cache');

echo <<< STYLE

body{
background: #{$back};
color: #{$forth};
}

STYLE;

?>[/code]

Success!
