Description bugbridge 2007-02-02 19:23:31 UTC

Original status: 3-Accepted; Suggested Status: NEW


Description:
Page Fragments don't have their own associated stylesheets - after all a 
fragment can be included in different pages that each have their own 
stylesheet.

However, in common scenarios you -do- have a single stylesheet, and you'd have 
an improved WYSIWYG experience if this stylesheet was applied to the fragment 
when editing it as well.

This obviously can't include other inherited style content, as when a fragment 
is included a tag which for example sets an inherited CSS property like the 
text color. It should however pick up styles from the <head> section in a 
representative document. Or perhaps  users can choose the design-time context 
page to use via the document-properties when the fragment background is 
selected?

See http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=50292 for more discussion.

Evaluation:
Yes, there should be an option for the fragment which context page to use to 
inherit the stylesheets from or whether to use any at all.

Again, it seems to be an issue with positioning of floats.

Ignore the previous comment, it belongs to different issue.
