What is 'name'? Is that an alias? We distinguished between selector and name in XSS but we don't in the CSS format. We still do in the code, but the person working with the css shouldn't know the difference.

Yes, the con of my suggestion is that order matters and the user needs to know what the order means .I can see them not knowing is color what I'm setting or is color what I'm retrieving? That is what I think the con is for the CSS syntax like padding: 0px 2px 3px 4px


Regarding your link, I haven't had time to look at that yet.

Hi Jeanne,

Thank you for the answer! Like in the situation of -tr-rule-ref, the list of properties is comma separated. I don't understand what you mean by camel-case...The name of the new property can be whatever the user wishes for. Afterwards, it will be treated like all the other properties in the CSS. Regarding the new syntax you suggested, first of all, we may have a selector or a name, in which case "selector" is replaced with "name". Also, another problem is the order in which they appear; with this syntax it can be any order.

How about http://markmail.org/search/?q=skinning%20list%3Aorg.apache.myfaces.dev#query:skinning%20list%3Aorg.apache.myfaces.dev%20order%3Adate-backward+page:3+mid:3au5ilvrrpbxopgx+state:results ? Did you have the time to look over it too?

Regards,
Marius

Another idea for the syntax comes from the rgb color syntax -
color: rgb(100%, 0%, 0%)

You could use this syntax, and not specify what each of the properties is for:
-tr-include-property:
property("af|foo", "color", "background-color")
or
property(af|foo, color, background-color)

I like this because it's shorter, but I don't like it since they will have to look up which is which, something I have to do when I use the border: 0px 3px 2px 1px syntax - which is right, left, top, bottom.

Hi,
Thanks for this patch.
I will have to look at the CSS spec to see if this syntax conforms to other CSS syntaxes. This is what I usually do when I try to come up with a new skinning api.
Like, is the comma standard, or should it be space-separated? Is the camel-case standard, or should it be '-'s.
I think it looks good, but I'll have to look at it closer before I vote.

Is there anyone who has already reviewed this or added them on his/her TODO list? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I created a new JIRA task for this issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1680) and I added a patch for it.

I introduced a new -tr property: "-tr-include-property". The syntax of this is:

     -tr-include-property: property(selector="af|foo",propertyName="color", localPropertyName="background-color")

In SkinStyleSheetParserUtils, when the selectors are parsed, similar to the -tr-rule-ref, I introduced a list of includedProperties. The rules defined with -tr-include-property are parsed and the list of includedProperties is filled up. In the end, when the StyleNode is created, this list is passed to the constructor.

I also introduced the new feature in the documentation.

Is the syntax of the new rule ok? And if so, please have a look over the patch and tell me whether I should modify anything.

Regards,
Marius
