Neil, I am working on a little component that has formatting that is complicated and not user friendly. What I am trying to do is allow the end user to be able to use CSS (which we are all very familiar with) and then on the inside of the black box, convert that CSS to the formatting used by the component.
It just seems like the right way to go, but I am a bit lost on how to parse the CSS. I turned to Swing to see if they had something to handle it for me and they do.... But it is very incomplete (the documentation says this as well). ......................

Can I just ask, why are you are adding rules like this?! -----Original Message----- From: Ben Nadel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 January 2007 14:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: Parse CSS using Java/ColdFusion? Hey all, I have been playing about with the javax.swing.text.html.StyleSheet in an attempt to keep track of CSS rules: <cfset objStyleSheet = CreateObject( "java", "javax.swing.text.html.StyleSheet" ).Init() /> <cfset objStyleSheet.AddRule( JavaCast( "string", "td.header { border-top: 0px solid black ; }" ) )/> <cfset objStyleSheet.AddRule( JavaCast( "string", "td.header { border-top-width: 3px ; }" ) )/> <cfset objRule = objStyleSheet.GetStyle( JavaCast( "string", "td.header" ) ) /> #objRule.ToString()# What I want this to do is know that the second border width overrides the first one. Apparently the CSS implementation in Swing is rather limited and the above is not working. It is storing the two different definitions as two different styles..... I think this Swing approach is waaaaay off. Does anyone know if there is a way in Java to be able to pass in various CSS definitions and then at the end query attributes and get actual cascading styles? ........................
