Re: Luxor, Cypress and CSS

Servus Stephan,

 Great. I forgot to mention it. It sure is somewhat
easier.

  Whow. Fantastic. If there any missing pieces you are
more than welcome to contribute. You can always fall
back to plain-vanilla Java, but it should become a
habit.

  I suggest adding custom XML properties to your
button to specify rollover icons and so on.

  If you don't want to touch the kernel code, you can
always create your own button tag plug-in.

  I think using CSS for rollover icons is somewhat a
stretch as it looks rather complex.

  Luxor currently supports only inline CSS style
properties (although the parser can also handle
stand-alone stylesheets).

  How about?    rollovericon="ITALIC-ACTIVE"
  or something to that effect.
