New stylesheet features


Reply
I have two suggestions to Stylesheets, one for tags and another for feature!

1. PageBackgroundColor! Basically, on most of the site you have 2 main background colours applied, one for the actual page, and another one for the remaining space outside the page. On Dynamicweb you can control the Background colour, which once it applies to the master template and not to the page, not always helps end-clients in some minor updates. My suggestion is a PageBackgroundColor tag that could be used on the page templates. In fact if we 5 tags, like PageBackgroundColor1, PageBackgroundColor2 and so on, we could more easily control all the colour scheme of the site from these features, leaving the page template for information placement and less depended information. This could be the section “Colour Palette” for example!

2. Hierarchical stylesheets? A problem posted by a partner is that usually when using more than 1 stylesheet for a front-end, the most common change is the page template. If we could have a hierarchical stylesheet, with inherit features, or on the page level, editing it, being able to (besides choosing a different stylesheet), choose a different page template, would leave a much cleaner stylesheet section, and would be much easier to update information.

These would help us alot, here in Portugal, I do not know what other developers think about it!

Best Regards,
Nuno
