Grab attribute from style property

[Dad.]

Hello all,

I've been having a blast with style properties . But I was wondering if I could grab the attribute instead of the entire readout. For example, I want to use a CSS Background property type, but I want to use whatever value that is somewhere else.

So here is my code in my css file:

body {
@property "classCustomize";
color: @contentText;
background: rgb(29, 130, 127) url('js/adstyler/images/bgs/noise_2.png');
@property "/classCustomize";
}

And I want to use the background-color value somewhere else (the background of a node). Can I do this? Or should I instead use scalar (color) and scalar string (for the background image). So that way there are two properties as opposed to one with just multiple CSS options. I hope this is clear, sort of hard to word.

Thanks,
Mike

If I've understood...have you tried this?

@classCustomize.background-color

Thanks Fuhrmann, that worked. But there is one thing that doesn't. And that is: background-image: @classCustomize.background-image;

Am I doin that correctly? css.php doesn't send any data, I just get background-image: ;

You can also do:

@property "classCustomize.background";
@property "/classCustomize.background";

I have confirmed that doesn't work. But this does:

@classCustomize.background

To be clear... by specifying "background" and not a particular attribute within background, it pulls the entire CSS attribute. So the above code would output this entire "background" attribute, including the name of the attribute:

background: rgb(29, 130, 127) url('js/adstyler/images/bgs/noise_2.png');

Ah I see so pulling just the image is not possible? I could technically just say background-color: transparent !important; but just curious.

Correct. I was unable to get that working.
