Re: [Wicket-user] CSS Styling For Wicket Components

[Igor Vaynberg]

the problem with this approach is that the id generated is a page-relative path of the component and can vary drastically depending on what page tha panel is used within. the safest bet is to use classes for css not ids.

Hi,

About Wicket and CSS,
Well maybe its even already part of wicket and I am not aware but please if its that i am not aware, educate me. Thanks

Now Basically when one creates a component in wicket like for example a Panel.

I will create two files basically

MyPanel.java
MyPanel.html

Now somewhere within the MyPanel.html , i can have:

<div wicket:id="Component1">
 <a wicket:id="LinkComponent1"></a>
</div>

and from wicket naming convention, i realized that Markup Ids are generated like this
Component1_LinkComponent1 which refrences the <a> tag

Now, lets say I need to style the <a> tag

What is the possibility of having the third file like:

MyPanel.css
which will contain as sample:

#Component1_LinkComponent1 {
  color: #FFFFFF;
}

Now please this is not a Must-be-present-at-the-moment feature.... i am just asking if something like this exists or is planned

thanks
