As an aside to this topic I find the it handy to include a "css"
method call in the autohandler to enable page specific styles and/or
stylesheet links when needed (since they must appear in the head, but
the <head> is generated by the autohandler). This helps cut down on
clogging the main stylesheet with lots of page specific nits.
In the autohandler:
<html>
<head>
<title><& SELF:title &></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/default.css">
<& SELF:css &>
</head>
<body>
% $m->call_next;
</body>
</html>
<%method css></%method>
Then in a page needing specific CSS (either in a <style> block or as
another link) simply override the <%method css>:
<div>My example page</div>
<%method css><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/
example.css"></%method>
or
<div>My other example page</div>
<%method css>
<style type="text/css">
div { border: solid 2px red; }
</style>
</%method>
BTW I find Mason is great for generating CSS--particularly when you
need one color to appear in multiple places (e.g. as a background of
one element and the border of another).
