I agree that we should support the style attribute --- however it really shouldn't be used for styling. Styling should be driven by a stylesheet. The reason to use style for display/positioning/state/etc -- things specific to the component on the screen. I think XAP handles these well since there are attributes for them where there are not attributes for them in HTML.
The thing to avoid is putting information about what the component will look like in the UI markup -- that belongs in a stylesheet, including things like validation failed. Makes it device independent, etc. --- What does the plugin for Aptana do? Place XAP JS into a project? -----Original Message----- From: Bob Buffone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2008 1:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: A couple of items 1.) I think we need to support the style attribute in our widgets. I am finding my self gravitating to trying to style them this way. It is probably a result of doing it that way for HTML 2.) I am working on a plugin for aptana javascript IDE so people can easily create a XAP application. I think this will help promote the project and make it easy to work with. Bob (Buffone)
