[Zope-CMF] What is the use of "isDesktop" ?

Wed, 14 Aug 2002 23:01:59 +0200

All,

I'm working on my personal skin for CMF (not anywhere near the beauty 
and power of Plone though).

The standard folder_contents pagetemplate starts with the following code:

----------
<span tal:define="dummy here/filterCookie; desktop 
python:request.set('isDesktop', 1)">
</span>

<html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
metal:use-macro="here/main_template/macros/master">

<body>
----------

Unfortunaly the <span> tag before the <html> breaks my CSS stylesheet 
(and also hampers the use of HTML editors that expect <html> to be 
first). Can anyone explain the use of isDesktop parameter? I've been 
scanning through the CMF python code and the standard pagetemplates but 
couldn't find references.

Thanks,
Arjan.
