I understand the desire to make widgets as configurable as possible, but do we
want to encourage HTML specific configuration that could be left to a style
sheet?
Something I've been toying with is being able to specify a class for the
widget (not in the Perl module sense). This class would indicate a general
set of default attribute values from a configuration file or other source.
This could also be used as the class of the object in a CSS file for HTML
environments.
This allows for the coder to not have to worry about those elements explicitly
in the code. This also allows for configuration files to not have to be
specific to a particular named widget. This also allows for styles to be
specified in a general fashion without regard for environment.
I don't have configuration code done yet in my sample implementation, but I'll
try to get that done this week to illustrate how this could work.
