How about...
h1.pagetitle {
content: url("/dynamicTitleImage.php?text=" contents), contents;
}
Now to play devil's advocate...
Regarding the comments above, while I agree that most of the time RGB
values have no place in content, it depends on the content. Imagine a
color chart in list form.
<li r="0" b="0" g="0">Color name 1</li>
<li r="0" b="0" g="1">Color name 2</li>
<li r="0" b="0" g="2">Color name 3</li>
<li r="0" b="0" g="3">Color name 4</li>
...
<li r="0" b="0" g="255">Color name 256</li>
<li r="0" b="1" g="0">Color name 257</li>
<li r="0" b="1" g="1">Color name 258</li>
...
li:before {
width:1em;
height:1em;
margin-right:0.5em;
background-color: rgb(attr(r,number),attr(g,number),attr(b,number));
}
I'm not sure though, would the ":before" selector be able to inherit
"attr()" from its parent element? Seems like it would since it can't
have attributes of its own.
Cheers,
James Craig
