Asset in css file?
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to override the gif image used for tabs in the Chenillekit
tabset. This is specified in
the chenillekit TabSet.css like this:
a.ck.tab {
background:url("white-top-bottom.gif")repeat-x scroll 0 -1px
transparent;
.....
}
At this point I assume that the css file is not rendered, so I can't
directly specify the gif as an asset. Aside from returning the asset as
a StreamResponse from an onActivate() event is there a better way to
serve a gif file into a css-specified background?
Thanks,
Chuck

Thanks. That should work and it keeps the image in the web app.

The most efficient way (cpu cycle wise) is to bypass Tapestry all together
and let httpd share the images. This approach however lacks the ability to
version assets using the T5 facilities.
The best way IMHO is to use relative paths in css (if there are "images" and
"css" folders, then the images are referenced like ../images/image.png),
this way the versioning is preserved and it just works. This method
obviously has some limitations also. (Works only when your image and css are
in the domain.)
The images are exposed to web via two urls: versioned and non versioned.
Hardcode one of those to the css is also an option. Use firebug or similar
to get the url. If you use versioned url, you may have to change the url in
css when upgrading the 3rd party lib.
You don't have to (atleast in 5.1) expose the image as an asset to reference
it in css or html.

Of course. But what is most efficient way to return a Tapestry Asset
specified in the css file. The css file is not a template.

You're probably better off just overriding the css to return the image you
want.
