Style Modifier
I created a Behavior the other night that allows one to modify the style
attribute of a tag by easily adding or removing a CSS property. Why is this
better/different than AttributeModifier? Because you can update a CSS
property inside the style attribute. Basic usage:
myComponent.add(new StyleModifier("background-color", "blue")); // changes
(or adds) the background-color property of the style tag on this component
to blue
myComponent.add(new StyleModifier("background-color")); // removes the
background-color property from the style tag on this component
Would anyone else find this useful? Would the devs on this list consider
taking it in for the next release of Wicket (if so I can open an JIRA)? Is
this already implemented and I'm just too stupid to have found it?
Thanks...

If I understand you right, you’re using it for in-line "style" attribute
whereas the "class" attribute should be used via Cascading Styling Sheets.
I would normally extends a CSS class and make the change I need (in your
example the background-color) and then append that new class name to an
already existing list of classes that are applied my tag.
Hence why a simple AttributeModifier changing the class attribute of a
tag is all you need.

Hi Bill,
As we see there is no much interest to put this in wicket-core, but you can
contribute it to wicketstuff-minis (
https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/tree/master/jdk-1.6-parent/minis-parent)
if you like.

@Paul Bors I would normally do the same type of thing, but I found myself
in a situation where I needed to style the background color of a div that
is dynamically loaded from a DB. ie, the user is free to chose whatever
color they want for the div's background.
A quick modification of the style element was useful here...

yes,appears useful to me :)
however not sure if this should be added in wicket-core..
another way of doing the same thing is a reusable ondomreadyheaderitem
using jquery's css(propertyName,value) in a neat way ..
