Subject: [wsrp][wsrp-markup] FW: WSRP CSS Questions
Rich and Chris, Here are some rather detailed questions regarding the CSS classes that a UI engineer here forwarded to me. I don't know whether we have answers to some/all of these at this time, and perhaps that needs to wait for the wsrp-markup group to reconvene? Let me know how we should proceed, thanks. Alan -- Here are some questions/comments about the CSS classes for the WSRP group: 1- The 'portlet-section-header' class implies 2 mutually exclusive uses; as the formatting for the header row of a table and as a section header. In the case of the table header row it will be very common that the portal will specify a background-color, but then the color would show up for the section headers where it is not commonly desired. Is this an indented behavior? 2- The 'portlet-section-footer' class has the same problem as #1. 3- How do the classes 'portlet-form-input-field' and 'portlet-form-field' differ? 4- What is a "context dependent action icon" as mentioned in the description of the 'portlet-icon-label' class? 5- There is no provision in the classes for a sorted column header. 6- It is fairly common to have multiple 'special' rows within a table of data. It would be useful to have some 'special' row color classes. 7- There are no provisions for the formatting of navigation trails within the portlet's views. 8- The specified classes will require the portlet HTML to have many class declarations. It would be better to use descendant classes to simplify the HTML and reduce the file size. 9- It is very surprising that the <a> tag is not customizable via the WSRP classes. In web applications it is very common to customize anchors so that they do not have a 'visited' color. It is also common to use css classes to control the hover behavior of the links to give a more interactive experience. 10- It would be very useful to have a reference stylesheet and sample portlet HTML that could be used as an example for development and testing. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
