Question

I am attempting to use USERCOLORSURL in conjunction with a session variable.

* Set USERCOLORSURL = %PUBURLPATH%/%MAINWEB%/ClientColors/%SESSION_VARIABLE{"client"}%colors.css%

The session variable is set from an input button with a dropdown list (ControlsPlugin) in the "beforetext" template.

Setting the session variable works but the display colors don't change immediately.

I must refresh the display or follow a link in order to the color changes to take affect.

Is there a "preferred" method for setting style with one action?

You will always need to reload the page, if that is what you mean.

Thanks for the response.

Can you explain why the 2-pass process does not catch this?

The path to your custom CSS file is written in the html. Changing the session won't change the html.
