What is div#a "lite"?

Diva "lite" is Diva look sans Ajax and effects.

Specifically, it generates pages that are:

  • Semantically-rich or tables-less
  • HTML4 strict
  • Sans images, inline styles or presentation attributes

It makes use of:

  • CSS for themes

Differences between Diva and Diva "lite"

A notable difference between the two D2W looks is that Diva "lite" doesn't use Ajax. So it is compatible with WebObjects 5.3.
However, CSS themes are almost 100% interchangeable between the two. This makes Diva "lite" a stepping-stone towards using the full Diva look in a DirectToWeb app.

Selenium tests will be structurally compatible between the two looks.
However, because of the use of ajax in the full Diva look, there will be some changes to the Selenium tests to accommodate ajax request/responses instead of standard HTTP requests.
