Hello,
As I have used bgImage as the 7th param'. I would
prefer not to change. Don't we have a setClass('style')
or are you using the new parameter as a hard coded
string to integrate with HTMLcomponents? Which
seems to have css as the first param' and is set to null?
With an established interface it is preferable to add to,
rather than change and break backward compatibility
