Hai, Thanks for your reply..... I tried your sample coding.but the header color didnt change... master.css ::::::::::::::::: .heading {     background-color:green;     color:white;     font-weight:bold; } .container {     background:#e0eeff; } .item {     color:#610B0B; } .headerColor1{background-color:red;} .headerColor2{background-color:blue;} .headerColor3{background-color:yellow;} .footerColor{background-color:blue;} layout.html :::::::::::::::::: <head>    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title><label id="layoutLabel"/></title> <link rel="stylesheet" type=" text/css" href="../../css/master.css"/> </head> <body> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center" height="20"> <te:include id="layoutHeader" te:src="/layout/header.html"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40"><te:include id="layoutMenu" te:src="/layout/menu.html"/></td> <td height="475" valign="top"><te:includeChildBody id="LayoutChildBody"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="right" height="20"> <te:include id="layoutFooter" te:src="/layout/footer.html"/> </td> </tr> </table> </body> HeaderPage.java :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: public class HeaderPage { public String getHeaderColorStyleClass() {         Random random = new Random();         int mod = Math.abs(random.nextInt()) % 3;         switch (mod) {         case 0:             return "headerColor1";         case 1:             return "headerColor2";         default:             return "headerColor3";         }     } } I checked both in firebox and IE6...The background -color of header is always white. Is there any mistake in the above coding?
