Populating HTML body background value from the database

Question

How would I go about populating a database value to my html body background ?
Simply put, the HTML code is something like:

<body background="<%=session("userLogo")%>">

Update Clarification of my question: Where in the code-behind, should I make the database call to populate the session("userLogo") value ?

`` is malformed markup as there is no attribute userLogo (`background="session(" userLogo")"`) – be aware of doubled double quotes. Also, what should that background-value (`session…`) mean? — feeela, Aug 18 '11 at 17:25
You can use a generic HTML control as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5066031/dynamic-background-image-on-body-asp-net — cgcarter1, Aug 18 '11 at 17:28

Use this in your aspx:

body { background-image: url(<%= session("userLogo") %>); }

You can also put this in a css file (but then it has be an embedded resource and do remember to do performSubstitution = true)
