Newbie question re. CSS and Struts

2004-06-26 Thread Jan Behrens
Hi List,

I wonder what would be a best practice for formating output when using
Struts. Is there such a thing as a struts.css that gets included by default
and might even contain elements for each / some tags out of the tld's?

TIA

Jan

Thanks Matthias,

looks like a powerfull tool for formatting tables, on first glance it seemed
a bit of an overkill for what I need to do though. I wonder, what the
general approach for this is? I mean, do many people use CSS in combination
with Struts or do you normally attache something like font bla... to each
property in your message property file, or...

TIA Jan

I usually use SiteMesh now for controlling the overall layout of my 
pages, but even if using Struts Tiles, it's a good idea to have at least 
one main style sheet that is imported on say your site's header page. 
That way each page automatically gets the 'site style' included for 
every page. I usually just call mine main.css out of habit. Sometimes 
I'll give it the webapp name ie. myapp.css. Any 'extremely' unique 
styles that a page needs you could add custom to the page in question.

I typically use my own style sheet on the finished product.  During
development though I normally use embedded styles, but imported from
their own page using tiles.  As the browser is seeing embedded styles
and not an imported style sheet, I don't have the caching problem during
development.

 I am using tiles:
 
 definition name=.article.Base
 path=/article/common/layouts/Article.jsp
   put name=title value =${title}/
   put name=header   
 value=/article/common/header.jsp/
   put name=message  
 value=/article/common/message.jsp/
   put name=content   value=${content}/
   put name=navbar   
 value=/article/common/navbar.jsp/
/definition
 
 I want to control the color of links.  My links are in
 the /article/common/navbar.jsp.
 
 If I put the style tag in the
 /article/common/hearder.jsp, will the style tag
 control the color in another piece of tile?   

Yes, it will.  Those separate files are put together by the tiles
plugin, and what the web browser sees is one file - it doesn't know that
the separate pieces began life on the server as separate files.  So
putting your styles into header.jsp will effect (or can effect) anything
else on the finished page.
