How can I use {vb:raw vboptions.xxx} within CSS template??

Hello everyone, I currently have a slideshow to which I created a couple of options in the admin panel for the admin to be able to control it's width and height easily from the product options, instead of having to go edit style-vars.

The slideshow's width and height are controlled by CSS attributes. I created a custom CSS template and inlciuded it within my page with the slideshow making a call to said template. My problem is apparently it's not reading the CSS correctly using {vb:raw vboptions.xxx} as a replacement for actual values.

Here's what I am trying to do:

HTML Code:

#slide {

    position:relative;

    width:{vb:raw vboptions.cotw_sotw_max_width}px; 

    height:{vb:raw vboptions.cotw_sotw_max_height}px;

    background:url(images/loading.gif) no-repeat 50% 50%;

}

If I do just this:

HTML Code:

#slide {

    position:relative;

    width:500px;

    height:200px;

    background:url(images/loading.gif) no-repeat 50% 50%;

}

The slideshow changes to those dimensions if I do it the previous way it does not change size, it just adapts it's size to the image that's showing. Anyone have any ideas why or how I can't get this to work being able to use those custom options to control width and height? Any info anyone can provide will be appreciated. Thanks for your time everyone.

Note: I was unsure whether to place this thread here or in Design so if any mod wants to move it by all means. Sorry for the trouble in advance if you do. :)

I used options in my css template for one of my modifications and it worked just fine. What "Data Validation Type" did you select for your option? Is it an Integer?

Positive Integer... Would it make a difference?

Edited: Doesn't..I checked :)

{vb:raw vboptions.xxx} is working well. try adding ur css code to additional.css template and see if that works

OK it does work when I use the code in additional.css ... How can I use it on my own css template then? It would be a pain to have to ask whoever it is installing this to have to edit their additional.css template right?

Are you adding it to a template that is called xxxx.css? I created my own .css template and I use the settings in there.

Yup, to COTW_Adittional.css to be exact. The options work fine in the default additional.css template but not in my own for some reason. Maybe there's some rendering that needs to be done somewhere to get the option to render in my custom css template? :confused:

And I am using this to link it in the template:

HTML Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}COTW_Adittional.css" />

i just created a new css template and its working well..

where you using this code ?

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}COTW_Adittional.css" />
