Adding Category ID to body tag

version 1.3.8

I would like to be able to style each main category page differently. On other CMS packages I was able to do that through an id tag on each page.

Is there a way for me to get a specific id such as $category_id or $category_name in the body tag to allow me to be more specific with my css?

thanks

Zen Cart allows you to use supplemental stylesheets on a per-page/per-category basis. Look at the CSS_readme.txt file in /includes/templates/template_default/css/ for a full list of options. For category id 23, add a file named c_23.css to your template's /css/ folder.

Thanks. I was just hoping to be able to include the change all on one page. But this works. Messy, but gets it done.

If you want to keep the styling in one stylesheet, you could use Smart Backgrounds. It requires you to save an image with a relevant filename (can be a dummy 1x1px file) for each category you want to identify, but once you do that, you will have a custom classname for the body. Non-identified cats, pages, etc. get the base classname. You can identify by top cats or individual subcats as you like.
