Hi,
I suggest you wrap your HeaderTemplate content in a div and
dynamically assign a style to that element. Something like:
<HeaderTemplate>
<div style='background-color:<%= ssponcont %>' >
<font class="body11-wh">Providers for <%= sregionZ %>: <%=
Zonecustom() %></font>
<div>
</HeaderTemplate>
============
