You're making an honest effort to answer the question I posed, so 
it's not that novice.

I've been using variable in css for years, see here:

But it's a different problem when trying to guide a layman from what 
he imagines in his head to what can be done on the web (hey, that 
rhymes).  :-)

Tedd,

That is great information for a noob like me! Your page has just been
printed and bookmarked :o) I have been thinking (not google-ing) about how
to do that (CSS with variables) for some time now, without ever trying.

Thanks mate !!
