Hi,
What is the best way of handling CSS?
I've looked at ZStylesheets, but it is buggy and uses depreciated
functions that will not be available in 2.10.
I recommend a DTML Document as an upgrade to File objects.
If you use DTML you can
a) easily set some custom cache headers in the css
b) refer to images by a dynamic URL to the imagefolder. *
* example:
#body { background:#fff url(dtml-var images url/bg.png); }
All advice welcome,

If you use DTML you can

Or use a cache manager :-)
b) refer to images by a dynamic URL to the imagefolder. *

Which runs against (a) because if you aggressive cache
(which is a good idea) you shouldn't have dynamic elements
in it.
I believe file objects are good enough and you could
probably split the CSS across some files to get the
dynamics w/o loosing performance.

You mustn't use any dtml-if or other crap like that because then, as you
say Tino, you lose the ability cache the css file.

Re: [Zope] best practice, CSS Stylesheets
Anyone have any idea whether dynamic css via dtml will remain possible
as CMF gets more Z3'ish? Or will only possibility be overrides in css
itself.

What do you expect to change with Z3? Otoh, not using runtime-generated CSS is usually a better approach anyway.
