How to set the CSS/Theme of a D2W Page
Diva look introduces a new D2W key: stylesheet.
The CSS file computed by this key will be set as the stylesheet for the page.
e.g:
LHS |
key |
RHS |
|---|---|---|
task = 'edit' |
stylesheet |
NeutralEditPage.css |
task = 'inspect' and session.theme = 'Simple' |
stylesheet |
SimpleInspectPage.css |
A closer look at the CSS file...
1. CSS Imports
@import url("Neutral.css");
@import url("ERDIVEditPage.css");
@import url("NeutralEditToManyFault.css");
@import url("NeutralEditToOneFault.css");
@import url("NeutralCalendarDateSelect.css");
@import url("NeutralAjaxAccordion.css");
@import url("NeutralEditToOneRelationship2.css");
The CSS file NeutralEditPage.css imports a global CSS for the theme, Neutral.css, a generic one for the edit page ERDIVEditPage.css and CSS files for D2W components used on an edit page.
Note
IE has a limitation of a max. of 32 CSS files per page (and a depth of 3).
2. Image Replacement
div#a h1.edit {
background: url(/WebObjects/Frameworks/JavaDirectToWeb.framework/WebServerResources/EditMetalBan.gif) no-repeat;
text-indent: -5000px;
}
Standard CSS image replacement applies.
Here, the edit page banner is being set. div#a h1.edit is an example of a CSS selector. Diva D2W page content is nested inside a <div id="a">..</div>. It's CSS selector is div#a. The page title is marked up as <h1 class="edit">..</h1>, so the resulting CSS selector for that element would be h1.edit or more specifically div#a h1.edit.
Tip
All CSS selectors in a Diva D2W page begin with div#a.
