Re: [Chiba-users] Setting Size of Input Controls

[Salamon M. <msa...@ya...>]

I was able to use the class attribute.  The style attribute was completely ignored by chiba and not added to the html that was rendered.  would be nice to be able to put direct styles in there as well (for individual fields).  guess I would need to change the main xsl for that.
 
thanks!

you can use a CSS style or class attribute (though i'm not completely 
sure that style always works) and put some inline CSS into the head of 
your file.

e.g. 

or 

Alternatively you can use the id of the control to style single elements 
in your form e.g.



and use a CSS id matcher to render that like this:

#foo{background:green;}

if you want to style the actual control you should write

#foo .value{...}

i don't think it's a good idea to create a special attribute for that 
cause CSS already provides what you need.

you should read the Chiba cookbook for details about how ids and css 
classes are applied to the generated output. this gives you a lot of 
control for individual styling.
