    Default Dynamic body tag

    I have a site that I am converting to the storefront, and this site loads dynamic styles per page. Depending on the page you are on, the body tag gets updated with different id's and classes.

    Is there a way to implement this same functionality in the storefront based on the page name?

    Just use an xmlpackage to write your body tag in the template.

    ...and here's an example of one I've used before:

    In your template.master include this:

    Code:
    <asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$ Tokens: XmlPackage, body.xml.config %>" />
    Then, in a body.xml.config XMLPackage, include a line such as this:

    Code:
    <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="$Category=1" >
     <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<body class="category1">]]></xsl:text>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<body>]]>  </xsl:text>
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
    In this simple example, I set the class of the body based on an XSL Param called $Category. In real versions, it can get a lot more complex than this and you can create custom CSS styles for specific pages based on product, category, page name etc.
