Re: [wsrp] Re: Mode control CSS classes

Title: 

Rich, what you are saying now makes sense (just did a quick tutorial on
CSS and understood how it works ;)

  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.

     Here is a cut/paste from the new section I inserted. Hopefully the

     table will make it through the various email systems.

  

     10.6.7        Controls

  

  

     Control styles define the look-and-feel of the common controls used

     in content for user input and navigation. Consumers are encouraged
to

     define styles for each of the following classes for the HTML tags

     <a/> and <button/> tags. Consumers MUST NOT define
styles for these

     that removes portlet-defined controls from either End-User

     presentation or interaction.
