I looked at these and they're a major pain in the *** to modify - you have to modify code in 3 places in 3 files or something for every change you wish to make; css classes are used more widely than their naming implies, etc. While this is a very plausible effort and I would like to help out, I found it too difficult to figure out where to start so ended up reworking some design I had lying around to do a quick demo. People liked that a lot and it got used in POI. While cross-browser support is somewhat worse, the sheet is generally clean enough to understand. It'd be cool if the style.tigris.org stuff got some docs and a little refactoring so I could take those as a basis to start from and do some tweaking. As it stands, such 'tweaking' would be a maintainance nightmare. > The CSS was developed primarily by Todd Fahrner (a co-worker of mine > who did a bit of work on the spec), and has excellent cross browser > and accessiblity support. I would have to disagree on the accessibility. Without going into details (most of you wouldn't be interested), I found it too difficult to figure out where to submit what kind of patch. Maybe in a few weeks... cheers, - Leo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
