Re: CSS3, PIE behavior and image resources
I know what a problem can be, if you read this: CSS3: Progressive Internet Explorer (PIE) http://basicuse.net/articles/pl/textile/html_css/css3_progressive_internet_explorer_pie . You will notice that it requires MIME-type in header without this, it won't work. I had painful experience about this. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/CSS3-PIE-behavior-and-image-resources-tp4649699p4668555.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
CSS3, PIE behavior and image resources
Hi, we have to use PIE (see http://css3pie.com/ http://css3pie.com/ ) to make IE7 and IE8 capable of rendering CSS3 decoration features. We use a shared resource mount to have an absolute URL in our CSS file (see also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3046 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3046 ). This works fine. But CSS3 allows web designers to specify multiple background images for box elements, using nothing more than a simple comma-separated list. This works for e.g. Firefox and IE9 but not for IE7 and IE8. Therefore we want to us the PIE behavior and the /-pie-background/ attribute. *There are two main issues related to relative paths in CSS:* *The beahvior URL* IE interprets the URL for the behavior property relative to the source HTML document, rather than relative to the CSS file like every other CSS property. This makes invoking the PIE behavior inconvenient, because the URL has to either be: 1. absolute from the domain root (this makes the CSS not easily moveable between directories) or 2. realtive to the HTML document (this makes the CSS not easily reusable between different HTML files) We went for the first solution as our CSS is global for the application. *URLs in PIE-interpreted CSS properties* PIE does not parse the CSS stylesheets, it lets IE handle the parsing, selector querying, cascading, etc. and then simply asks it for the resulting property values. This means that when PIE gets a property value, it has no knowledge of the context from which that value originated. As a result, for properties which contain URL values (such as border-image or -pie-background), PIE cannot resolve those URLs relative to the CSS file in which they appear. The PIE documentation says: /It resolves them instead relative to the JavaScript execution context, which is the location of the source HTML document./. But as far as I know, in Wicket the image URLs within a CSS resource are interpreted relative to the resource. And this seems to be our problem finding image resources. I fiddled around with this problem a whole day but got no proper solution (It's not a solution for us to put the CSS file and the images in the web root container). Does anybody have a solution for our problem? -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/CSS3-PIE-behavior-and-image-resources-tp4649699.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
Re: CSS3, PIE behavior and image resources
Hi, You can use org.apache.wicket.request.UrlRenderer#renderRelativeUrl(Url) to render relative url to your special resource. As a parameter use org.apache.wicket.request.UrlRenderer#getBaseUrl() which should return the current page's url.

Re: CSS3, PIE behavior and image resources
Hi Martin, actually I don't get it. How should I use org.apache.wicket.request.UrlRenderer within a CSS file? At the moment I prepare a quickstart application for our problem. Maybe this helps to get an impression how it should work. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/CSS3-PIE-behavior-and-image-resources-tp4649699p4649703.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
Re: CSS3, PIE behavior and image resources
Load this .css file with (Package)TextTemplate and substitute a placeholder for the url.
