I use CSS for symbology in SVG maps. For example when I retrieve highways and roads from the database the class attribute is the typically the road type, i.e an interstate, arterial, down to local street. By specifying a class the same result from the database can be displayed in different ways in two different applications - color, dashed lines, etc. If I hard code this in the database interface with attributes don't I have to account for each display I want? Would the performance suffer if I searched through the DOM and set the display attributes based on another attribute? Controlling text is also another place I use CSS. Different fonts and styles are use using classes. If I need to adjust the font size for many locations I just change the style. The GUI's on Carto.net also use sytles. All of the various GUI's can be changed at once by linking to a different script specifying different styles. Just some ideas - Is there a better way? Thanks Bruce
