New subject: [Zope] Re: Dynamic Zope Style Sheets with HTML 4.01 Strict

31 Mar 2005

      Thanks!  I've never used dtml for style sheets.  I've always used page
templates and never had a problem 'til now.  Also, I don't see a way to
set the content type on a dtml doc or method.  I assume it would be
text/html and then I back in the same boat.  To restate my problem,
FireFox in HTML 4.01 Strict mode does not seem to accept a style sheet
if the content type is text/html.  It needs to see text/css.  (Of course
IE is fat dumb and happy)  Everything worked fine until I added this doc
string to my page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Unless somebody has some better magic this seems work.

context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/css')
return context.stylesheet()

This way I can leave the content type on the page template text/html so
Zope is happy and make FireFox happy by overriding the content type to
text/css.

Page Templates are awkward to use for non-XML output. I never tried
to use them for stylesheets.
fwiw, I have good results using DTML Methods for my dynamic
stylesheets.
It's about the only thing I use DTML for anymore.
Mine look roughly like this:
<dtml-with SomethingThatGivesMeABunchOfProperties>
body {
  background-color: &dtml-mainBackgroundColor;;
  color: &dtml-mainTextColor;;
}
/* more style rules follow */
...
</dtml-with>
