Re: [wsrp] Re: Mode control CSS classes
The text currently encourages Consumers
to define these styles in a manner that may be tag dependent. From my CSS
experience, the types of choices available are:

.wsrp-apply {Some style defs} 

         =>
applies to all tags with class="wsrp-apply"

a.wsrp-apply {Some style defs} 

         =>
applies only to anchor tags with class="wsrp-apply"

div.ControlParent a.wsrp-apply {Some
style defs} 

         =>
applies only to anchor tags with class="wsrp-apply" which are
contained within a div tag that has class="ControlParent"

The current text would encourage me
to define the first two of these examples though some people may make the
first one explicitly button.wsrp-apply.

As to Alejandro's question of whether
they should be "portlet-" instead of "wsrp-" ... that
would be more consistent with the rest of the classes.

what Alejandro is saying seems reasonable to me.

This would add <a> definitions to section 10.5.1 and a new section
Buttons,

right?

Currently we say in 10.5.1 that there are no classes defined for the <a>

tag which is contradictory to what we say in 10.6.7.

Rich,

It should be 'portlet-' instead of 'wsrp-'

When you say 'Consumers are encouraged to define styles for each of the

following classes for the HTML tag <a/> and <button/> tags',
what do you

mean? That there should be a 'portlet-*-ahref' and 'portlet-*-button' seto

of these styles? If so, why we don't define them. Or you expect to use
the

same style for ahrefs and buttons?

Alejandro.
