Re: Scriptaculous - SUEffectsTest, how is this done?

These boxes are coming from a static CSS file:
<http://scriptaculous.seasidehosting.st/resources/style.css>. This is
a slightly adapted version of the style-sheet that is used at the
official script.aculo.us site <http>//script.aculo.us>. They are using
these nice boxes as well ;-)

Cheers,
Lukas

Hi Frank,

Check out my blog on this topic:

Your confusion is that you expect the CSS to be in a "style" method. The CSS
sheet for this is stored in a server in Bern, Switzerland, and then linked.
The fellow who just answered your post runs that server. He just gave you
the link to the hidden style sheet.

To prove that the style sheet comes from outside Scriptaculous on your
computer, try this. Trash your version of Seaside. Download another.
Disconnect your computer from the Internet. Open Scriptaculous. It will look
awful, because it cannot fire the link it needs to get the CSS style sheet
in Bern. Reconnect to the Internet, and try again. Quite a change.

The whole story is the following:

When I started to work on that functional testing suite I directly
referenced the style-sheet from the official script.aculo.us site. You
can still see this in early version on the SqueakSource repository.
Later on I simply swapped that reference to a copy on the
seasidehosting.st server and removed some things that were irrelevant.
The point is now -- again the same problem as already several times
discussed here -- that there are also external image files that I
cannot reference from the style-sheet if I don't have a static
web-server somewhere. Using the extension of Philippe would enable me
to do that using a WAStyleLibrary, though as long as this is not well
tested (I don't blame anyone, this is mainly my own fault) and not
part of the official distribution it simply won't change.

Well it actually has tests, but I know what you want to say. So what
are we going to do about it? Because if we do nothing about it
everything will stay the same.

A special Pier that uses WAFileLibrary and if it works move it in?

Is there a way for instances of WAComponent to discover what is the
current document root?

override #updateRoot: to get the current root. Do any modifications
(set title, include css or js, ...) there and don't forget the super
send.
