Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-633:
-----------------------------------

I don't think OFBiz will ever fit into the Zen Garden style 100%.  I mused 
about that on the dev mailing list.

The problem with IDs is they are supposed to be unique for each page. Many of 
the HTML "element collections" OFBiz uses appear more than once on a page. So, 
IDs are only good for things like the masthead, application navigation, etc.

Using the viewProfile page as an example - there are a dozen screenlets on that 
page. If we followed Zen to the "T" then there would be an ID and style for 
each screenlet. Does that seem reasonable to you? It doesn't to me.

One of my objectives is to come up with reusable classes that make it easier to 
style content, as well as move away from table-based layout. The findParty.ftl 
file in this patch is much better than the original in the sense that it 
doesn't attempt to style each individual HTML element. Does it qualify as Zen? 
No. Is it easier to code? Yes.

IE6 - I think we came to the conclusion on the mailing list that it would be a 
waste of time to get anything to work properly in that version. I'm just trying 
to get the back office apps refactored at this point.

Thanks for always offering your input Chris. I truly appreciate it! It's good 
to know at least one person is monitoring this issue. :p
