need to add custom css class to body tag

Hi, I need to add a custom css class to the body tag of html files that are generated by site publisher. Does anyone know how to do this? It appears that a custom layout only let's you add custom classes to children of the body tag.

Thanks,

Brian

Custom class should have worked in Custom Layout. What exact changes did you try and what exactly is happening in the final HTML when you make changes to layout?

I've attached the home_page.xml. You'll notice I added css-class="tundra" to this file.

The output produced (see index.shtml).

< body >
< div id="mainContent" class="ls-canvas tundra" >

However, I would like the class=tundra to be in body tag. Not in the div tag.

Cannot see any attachment but based on your code, i can see what you are doing.

Creating a fixed layout will not work in this case, you will have to create custom fixed layout at the backend (iw-home\local\config\lib\content_center\livesite_customer_src\etc\classes) and in that file you will have to add required class to body tag. This will inject required class in all the pages genereted from all kinds of fixed layouts in all branches.

So, it sounds like you are saying a custom fixed layout will be applied to all generated pages in sitepublisher? Is this true? This is a global change and cannot just be applied to on page?

Yes, It is a Global Change but if you want this change to be effective to specific set of pages, you will have to apply some logic to custom fixed layout file. e.g. Getting the Branch name from CONTEXT and then applying the Class to all the pages for specific branch name.

Have you tried to use something like:
[PHP]<script>
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].className="tundra";
</script>[/PHP]
You can put whatever logic you want around that so it appears only on specific pages or sites or any other criteria you want.

Another option would be to use different style sheets and create a body style.
