[Help-smalltalk] Iliad: how to assign a css class to a div? A proposal

[Bèrto ëd Sèra]

HI again!

One of the things that make designers *really* independent is the
possibility to assign css rules to a given part of the screen. Since
we have clearly identifiable widgets, this should be even handier in
Iliad.

Now, class="_widget" is set here:

    buildContents [
        "Do *not* override this method. Use #contents instead"
        <category: 'building'>
        
        ^self newRootElement div
            id: self id;
            class: '_widget';
            build: decorator contents;
            yourself
    ]

I would rather not modify this much, and simply add a cssClass method like:

    cssClass [
        "Override this method to assign a particular css class to your widgets"
        <category: 'building'>
        
        ^'_widget'.
    ]

    buildContents [
        "Do *not* override this method. Use #contents instead"
        <category: 'building'>
        
        ^self newRootElement div
            id: self id;
            class: self cssClass;
            build: decorator contents;
            yourself
    ]

Would this suit everybody?
