Hi folks, do I need to write my own visitors to set the css class for additional labels of say input fields? How would I write a visitor doing this? Thanks, Markus

No, that is usually not necessary. Try: aDescription attributes class: 'newclass' Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch

Hi Lukas, thanks for the fast answer. I tried it out, but without luck. As you know I am trying to "magrittify" some existing app with already existing css styles. Right now there are tables(!) to layout the label / inputfield combos, having different css classes for the labels and the input fields. The solution you provide would mean that one should use the same css class for both the labels and the fields, do I understand correctly? And: tables shouldn't be neccessary, no?

There are already classes in the CSS for labels and fields. Why not use those? If you don't like this classes, yes, you probably need to subclass the visitor.

And: tables shouldn't be neccessary, no?

Well, it gets very difficult to do forms without tables. And tables are fine, as long as you use them to represent a table ;-) Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
