use of variables in page template

Monday 29 March 2004 8:22:32 am

Hiya,

i am new to ez puslish and I can't figure out the following problem:

I want to change the way my page behaves depeding on the section it is in. In my page template I added code the get the section id and set a string.

{* set style selection string *}
{let varID=$DesignKeys:used['section'] varStyle='style1'}

{switch match=$#varID}
{case match=6}
{set varStyle='style6'}
{/case}
{case match=5}
{set varStyle='style5'}
{/case}
{case default}
{set varStyle='no style found'}
{/case}
{/switch}
{/let}

I want to use the varStyle variable in my html tags to define the classes it should use
for instance: <td class={$varStyle}></td>

What is the correct way to do it. Variables only seem to be available within the 'let' tags?

all help and pointers are very much appreciated!
