i want $textbox style to read from the variables above it, im getting parse errors though and i dont know why, suggestions?

$textboxfont-family = "tahoma";
$textboxfont-size = "10pt";
$bordersize = "1px";
$borderstyle = "solid";
$bordercolor = "#0000AA";
$textboxbackground-color = "#00427B";
$textboxcolor = "#DDDDCC";
$textboxstyle = ".textbox {font-family: $textboxfont-family; font-size: $textboxfont-size; border: $bordersize $borderstyle $bordercolor; background-color: $textboxbackground-color; color: $textboxcolor}.";

Because variable names can't have a - in it. Only letters, numbers, and underscores.

ok, now i got that working, but, when i try and input variables into an input text box, it loads, but it stops if there is a " ' " like, "don't"

Looks like after the first four, you stopped putting ; at the end of your variables
