To whom it may concern:
Relating to the Syntax and Grammar module, I suggested that nesting of
selectors be allowed, for the purposes of simplifying style sheets and
providing a more encapsulated look to the sheet as well.
Here is a rather thourough example of my suggestion:
div.order-form
{
background: gray;
div.title-bar
{
background: navy;
color: white;
padding-left: 10px;
height: 20px;
}
div.body
{
padding: 10px;
color: black;
div.line-item
{
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
div.line-submit
{
text-align: center;
}
}
}
As a sheet which would describe HTML similar to this:
<div class="order-form">
<div class="title-bar">Order Form Title</div>
<div class="body">
<div class="item-line">Color: <input type="text" /></div>
<div class="item-line">Size: <input type="text" /></div>
<div class="submit-line"><input type="submit" value="Order" /></div>
</div>
</div>
does anybody else see the aesthetic (and technical) value of this?
Thanks,
Dan Culley
