ECS and Stylesheets

[Tom Bednarz <li...@bednarz.ch>]

Hello,

I am new to ECS. I have started to port some JSP's to servlets using ECS. 
Is ECS able to deal with CSS?

How can I implement the following HTML Code using ECS?

<TD class="italic" WIDTH=100> some text </TD>

In the stylesheet the following is defined:

TD  {
         font-size : x-small;
         font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
         font-weight : normal;
         font-style : normal;
         color : Black;
}

TD.italic  {
         font-size : x-small;
         font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
         font-weight : normal;
         font-style : italic;
         color : Black;
}

....

The above <TD> tag would lookup the style TD.italic from the style sheet 
and apply it. I have several style sheets for different browsers and 
resolutions which are automatically loaded by a JavaScript function. All of 
my HTML code is based on CSS which allows me to easily change the look and 
feel of web applications.

I could not find a class Element in ECS, but CLASS= is available for most 
HTML tags. Could anybody please help me and tell me how this can be done 
with ECS? Many thanks!

Thomas

Well, my jsp's are full of Java code. With JSP I cannot use inheritance. 
There is a log of common code in all of my jsp. I could make a cleaner 
design with servlets entirely written in Java. But I am thinking about 
using servlets for certain common operations and then calling them from the 
jsp's. Taglets are another thing I will look into. My application was 
written just after JSP 1.0 was released. The new releases offer some more 
functionality.

Thanks for your hint anyway.

Thomas

Why? That seems like a backwards direction.

Separation of HTML from code is a good idea. JSP isn't a good direction for
that, but Velocity or other template based systems are.
