I successfully installed it on my css/php website! But I have one question: I would like to have a link and an alternate text to this background image. Is that possible? Or would I have to change from your php/css script to some javascript? Thanks in advance Lafinboy,

Step 1: in your html page, replace [code lang="html"]<style type="text/css"> @import url("http://www.politicsoflonely.com/img/random-images/");</style>[/code] with [code lang="html"]<style type="text/css"> @import url("http://www.politicsoflonely.com/assets/dynamic_css.php");</style>[/code] Step 2: in your html page, edit the <body> element so that it reads [code lang="html"]<body id="body">[/code] The reason for step 2 is that the dynamic_css script targets an element on the page by it's ID value. Give that a go and see what happens.</body> Hi Kristy - no problem, let's see if we can get you through this step by step.

Step 1: in your html page, replace

<style type="text/css"> @import url("http://www.politicsoflonely.com/img/random-images/");</style>

with

<style type="text/css"> @import url("http://www.politicsoflonely.com/assets/dynamic_css.php");</style>

Step 2: in your html page, edit the <body> element so that it reads

<body id="body">

The reason for step 2 is that the dynamic_css script targets an element on the page by it's ID value. Give that a go and see what happens.

I changed the import directive as you stated I should. But as far as the body in the CSS goes, there is not a number sign... I'm still confused. I thought by directing the dynamic_css to the body it would load automatically... Thanks, I'm a total newbie! Hi there,

Either add an ID attribute to the <body> element, or simply target the body in the stylesheet by removing the #. Hi Kristy - change the css @import directive in your site to
@import url("/assets/dynamic_css.php");

You have referenced an element with an ID of 'body' to be targetted by the dynamic css, but there is no element with that ID on your page. Either add an ID attribute to the
<body> element, or simply target the body in the stylesheet by removing the #.

I recently rebuilt this blog and overlooked the replacement of fancy quotes in code blocks. It is the fancy quotes in the code you have copied that is causing the problem. I have fixed the issue on the blog - you should now copy the dynamic_css.php code again and paste it into your file. Once done everything should be good. @ Fco Javier - the problem with you installation is totally my fault! I recently rebuilt this blog and overlooked the replacement of fancy quotes in code blocks.
