Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer style sheet class.

[Benoit M. <mar...@ma...>]

Hi

In a test I've been doing, I used not a class="", but I declare a style 
in a <style></style> for each of the layers using their ID
like

<style>
#layer1 {position:absolute; width: ....}
.blueBg {background-color:blue;}
</style>

and <div id= layer1> Some html </div>

As far as I understand it class is meant to control the style of 
multiple objects. So for example, if you wanted a set of layers to all 
have a blue background, you would add class=blueBg

So both are different. I think we need a way to tell dynlayers not to 
generate an inline style, when one would exists for it's ID. Now should 
we on top of that be able to generate something like <DIV ID=myLayer 
style="AStyle"></DIV>, probably,and of course be able to set a class=""
As three options are valid ways of doing it, I think we should handled 
them.
