Re: [Wicket-user] More CSS support in wicket?
Okay here my little CSS solution for wicket, so if u have had my headache, you can use it. Please if you have more powerful regex approach...teach me please. May not be killer but it works just fine for me.
In your CSS File (textfield.css):.textfieldStyle {
background: url(${myImage});}In your Wicket Code:
PackageResourceReference imageRef = new PackageResourceReference(MyPanel.class
, image.gif);CSSSettings css = new CSSSettings(
MyPanel.class,textfield.css);String imageRefString =
urlForcss.addAttribute(myImage
,);
//and according to igor
add(new StringHeaderContributor(css.getStyle()); /*

Re: [Wicket-user] More CSS support in wicket?
Well,should i say i have specifics yet, okay yesterday i was trying to make a small customizable menubar widget and i needed a way to ensure that an time i want to reuse it or even give it out for others to use, they can simple change certain general schemes in the CSS like border color, background image, etc...
Now currently, whatever CSS you package as a wicket resource with the widget is what users stick to. Now somewhere in my code I had to do this:
ul.append(border-top: 1px solid + this.bordercolor +
;); ul.append(border-bottom: 1px solid +
this.bordercolor +
;); ul.append(background:url( +
this.linkBgImage +
) repeat;);Basically if i did not want to make anything reuseable, i could stick to the normal wicket way, just dump some CSS in the header and then any reuse will have to keep it that way. But i dont think it will be much fun to keep recoding styles into your wicket component everytime you need to reuse it. Infact a wicket developer like myself..i am really taking time to build up my widget framework so that laying out interface for any coming project will just be add(), add() and add().
Now what i think is just some form of templating support for CSS: Since CSS is not an XML file (i really wonder why CSS is not XML) but in a file calledMyWidget.css
.${wicket:id of component that needs this css} ul {border-top:
${border-thickness}; solid ${border-color}
;background:url(${bg-image}) repeat;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-top: ${pad-top};
}Something like this...and then in my custom component, i want toclass MyWidget extends Panel{
private Component component;add(component = new Component(wicket:id)
}maybe some interface or a class for filling in the css parameters in the ${}.But Wicket will generate the CSS header from the template on behalf of that component and attach the
class attribute etc etc. hey..wait i think i can even develop something like this right now...even as i am talking about it, its kind of clear to me what i can do.

Infact a wicket developer like myself..i am really taking time to build up my widget framework so that laying out interface for any coming project will just be add(), add() and add(). Now what i think is just some form of templating support for CSS: Since CSS
is not an XML file (i really wonder why CSS is not XML) but in a file called MyWidget.css.${wicket:id of component that needs this css} ul { border-top: ${border-thickness}; solid ${border-color} ;
background:url(${bg-image}) repeat; padding-bottom: 3px;padding-top: ${pad-top};} Something like this...and then in my custom component, i want to class MyWidget extends Panel{
private Component component; add(component = new Component(wicket:id) } maybe some interface or a class for filling in the css parameters in the ${}. But Wicket will generate the CSS header from the template on behalf of that
component and attach the class attribute etc etc. hey..wait i think i can even develop something like this right now...even as i am talking about it, its kind of clear to me what i can do.

Re: [Wicket-user] More CSS support in wicket?
That package is just a few months old :) If you come up with some
useful contributions specific for CSS, I'd be happy to incorporate
them.

[Wicket-user] More CSS support in wicket?
i think wicket needs to kind of improve CSS templating support. I think more than just a resource...more of CSS and WebPage\Panel integration support needs to be in wicket especially when yu needs to create widgets where you want to generate certain Styles on the fly...anyway it's not like an urgently needed feature but just a kind of suggestion that may reduce the stress in bindingtwo tightly close couples like HTML and CSS thanks-- It takes insanity to drive in sanity - MeAladejebi Ayodeji A., DabarObjects SolutionsEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Web: www.dabarobjects.comCommunity:www.cowblock.net - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Could you please be more specific to what kind kind of additional support you would like to see? Could you give a few end-user (from the perspective of framework users of course) examples of what you'd like?
