Hi,
How would I append to .px to a template variable.
For example,
This in the template
<div id="FlashContainer" style="margin:$TopMargin.px 0 0 $LeftMargin.px">
returns
<div id="FlashContainer" style="margin: 0 0 ">
How do I add .px to the end of $TopMargin or $LeftMargin so that I get something like:
<div id="FlashContainer" style="margin:300.px 0 0 400.px">
Thanks in advance,
Sam
<div id="FlashContainer" style="margin:{$TopMargin}px 0 0 {$LeftMargin}px">
Don´t let anyone change CSS via the backend, this will blow up in your face sooner or later.
hi
i guess the issue is solved with {$x}px.
but baba-papa ok there are pros & contras for controlling styles trough the cms - what is best practice if you do? would you make inline styles in the template? how do you actually use $vars in the css files?

Usualy customers are the ones that work with the backend. As they do not know much about css or browser bugs they should not interact with css.
