After years of CF5 I'm starting off on my first big CF8 project. While we really need it for it's new accessibility to Exchange, the wizzy new AJAX features are great and as far as I can see have the potential to take out the loads of fiddly JS I always seem to end up with in my AJAX calls Etc. At the same time however, these nice tags create loads of fiddly CSS if I'm to get the site looking like my client wants.
So far, 1) I set up the basic page layout (based on a YUI fonts/grids layout) and a CFAjaximport-ed set of the CFIDE files. 2) Got CFMENU working to my liking, eventually. 3) Got CFLAYOUT tabs working, after some conflicts with YUI and menu CSS At this stage dynamic CFGRID visually is completely broken. arrrgh. Basically, the more components I add and then tweak their CSS, the more tricky and time consuming it's becoming to get everything to play together.... Has someone done any kind of generic CSS skin for a range of the more common new CF8 stuff? At least it might set me on a straighter track. Failing that: A) Am I approaching this in completely the wrong way, I should forget about tweaking the multifarious .css files CF8 needs and just stick with the limitations of what I can style in the CF tags themselves? OR B) Should I limit myself to only ADDING css elements to a cf8-mysite-mods.css file - at least this would keep all css mods in the same place, but not sure how wise or practical it is to effectively un-cascade the elements I need to; there's additional overhead for the browser as well. OR C) The way I'm doing it: tweaking the underlying 'default' css, is the only way to do it. What do you do?
