Creating Dynamic Style Sheets Using ASP - Introduction

Thomas C. Carpe

Introduction

Many people forget that ASP isn't just for making dynamic HTML pages. ASP can be used to create pages of all kinds, or even binary data, like images. Some examples have used XML, audio playlists, text files, GIFs, and JPGs - literally anything with a MIME type that he browser recognizes.

The code needed to make this happen is really quite simple. It takes only one line to change the HTTP header to produce a different MIME type, and thus force the web browser to interpret the file differently. One application for this ability is to create a style sheet using ASP.

Response.ContentType = "text/css"

I have been working in IT since 1993. I founded CarpeDiem Business Internet Systems in 1995. In 2000 we incroporated and took on two partners. Its really a grat lot of fun, and I enjoy working on the high-end and cutting-edge stuff from Microsoft. I'm pretty hard up for work lately, because of the attacks in New York and DC, so if anyone has any leads, they'd really help out a lot. Come check out our web site!

    There is also a very simple service one can use for browser detection. It's a service, so it's always up to date with the latest browsers. To take a peek, check out http://www.whatsthatbrowser.com
