A module contains of the following contents by default:

$module/*
$module/lang/*
$module/images/*

It should be possible to insert something like

$module/css/*

which can be parsed by

$module/$module-lip.pl

in order to write the necessary css-code as

<style type="text/css">
<!--
/*  ... your code here ... */
-->
</style>

or to write

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../$module.css">

into the <header>-section.

But be aware: Webmin is designed as an administrative interface to unixoid systems and from my translations works I know that there are folks outside who are using browsers which do not support css (i.e. text-only browsers like links or lynx) in anyway as it is not necessary for administrative things.

On the other hand you must think about cross-plattform-css-compability as Konqueror may shows css in another way as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, Firefox, AOL-Browser ...

I will not take you down on this, just my two cents.

bis dahin - kind regards

Martin Mewes
