CSS in the header

#26331

Is there any way to use CSS in the header? I would like to use a background color. Thanks!

Yes. For example try to define the header like that:

<div style="width: 100%; background-color: tomato">
Header text: $[page] of $[total]
</div>

I think I see what you are saying here. Now my question is: can I have dynamic content in the header based on what is in a variable as the page is being rendered?
The value of myVar will change as the page is being rendered.

<pd4ml:page.header scope="2+">
<%=myVar%>
</pd4ml:page.header>

I am new to PD4ML — thanks for the help!

It is easy to mix different methods to define HTML headers in PD4ML.

So first please take a look to the following topic:
html-pdf-faq-f1/pdf-page-headers-footers-definition-options-t41.html

In the code

<pd4ml:page.header scope="2+">
<%=myVar%>
</pd4ml:page.header>

<%=myVar%> will be substituted with myVar value before the document is passed to PD4ML. So from PD4ML perspective it is going to be a static text (value). The only variable dynamically changes its value from page to page is $[page]

To define different headers for different pages you need to do something like that:

<pd4ml:page.header scope="2">
<%=myVar%>
</pd4ml:page.header>
<pd4ml:page.header scope="3-5">
<%=myAnotherVar%>
</pd4ml:page.header>
<pd4ml:page.header scope="6+">
yet another var or static text
</pd4ml:page.header>

That is what I needed to know – I really think it is a great product!
