Dax,

Thanks for the tips.  In the end I added a Javascript snippet to do this that worked along the same lines as what you have here.

<_script_type="text/javascript">
 var myBG = "url(/Portals/6/blohm/imgs/hdr" + <%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabId%>+ ".jpg)";
document.body.style.backgroundImage = myBG;
<_/script>

I may change it to use the page icons method, and need to add logic to load a default if the calculated filename doesn't exist.

Thanks John,  this thread saved me loads of work especially this code:

<ahref="<%=NavigateUrl(36)%>">Homea>

Is there a way to invoke a module directly through the skin?  Basically I have a menu system that is built off an ajax accordian module so the entire page expands when you click the menu bar.
This isn't that big a problem but I have multiple menus depending on where you are on the site (different skins) and it would save me heaps of time if I could invoke it directly from the skin.

Thanks,

Pete

I am using the following code to update my background images but unfortunately the code crashes if I am on one of the top level pages.
I have tried to add if statements to prevent this but to no avail.&#160; Could you point out the error?

Thanks

<_script type="text/javascript">
  var myBG = "url(/Portals/0/COEL/imgs/hdr.jpg)";
  if (<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level%>&gt; 1) {
   if (<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(1).TabName%>="Departments") {
    var myBG = "url(/Portals/0/COEL/imgs/hdr" + <%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(2).TabId%> + ".jpg)";}}
    document.body.style.backgroundImage = myBG;
<_/script>

A better solution to link to the home tab is this: <%=NavigateUrl(PortalSettings.HomeTabId)%>, which is "home tab agnostic" - you can use to link to the home on any portal, even if the home tabid is 70009.
