least painful way to make my stylesheet *first*

In my WAComponent-derived class, I tried adding:

updateRoot: aRoot
  super updateRoot: aRoot.
  aRoot stylesheet url: 'http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.4.0/build/reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css'.

Except that this put this CSS *last*, not *first*.  It needs to go first,
because it wants to reset everything so that we get consistent behavior on all
browsers.

Drilling down, I see WAHtmlRoot has an "add:" but not an "addFirst:".

I suppose I could subclass WAHtmlRoot and figure out how to get the new class
to be my root.  But has anyone else run into this and has a less painful
means, or a place I can hook from my WAComponent that can get to that "aRoot
stylesheet" call early enough to be first in line?

I don't understand why you want your CSS style sheet to come live from
Yahoo. Their YUI suite is great, but I don't see any need to access it using
a URL... Why not cut and paste into a file and put that in a Resources
folder? You want the URL to save the effort? To stay current?

Wait a second...Lukas does this. Or did this in 2.6. If you downloaded
Scriptaculous, and then disconnected your computer from the web
Scriptaculous couldn't render. It looked awful. Connecting your computer to
the web again, and it connected to the web, and a server in Bern provided a
css style sheet. In 2.6 it looked like this:

SUAllTests>>updateRoot: aHtmlRoot
    super updateRoot: aHtmlRoot.
    aHtmlRoot
        title: self title;
        linkToStyle: (self resources addToPath: 'style.css')

SUComponent>>resources
    ^ WAUrl new hostname: 'scriptaculous.seasidehosting.st'; addToPath:
'resources'


Then a component could use "style" to detail itself further (i.e.
SUAutocompleterTest>>style). I think this meant that the the styles coming
from Bern would be first, as you need them. Of course, that's changed in
2.8. SUAllTests>>updateRoot: now doesn't look the same at all. Je me
souviens, as the Quebecois say.

The problem is the same either way.  My "updateRoot" is called too
late... long after all the other libraries have already had their chance to
add things.

I was just using a URL so that I wouldn't have to have local text that
looked ugly. :)

I think I'm making headway by having an application that has my library called
first.

Randal,

In your root component,

updateRoot: aRoot
  aRoot stylesheet url: 'myurl'.
  super updateRoot: aRoot.

Cheers!

-Boris

Tried that.  Turns out the libraries actually get first pick (during session
setup), before it gets to walking the components.  And some of the libs
implement an updateRoot.

That's why I'm headed into the "making a lib" area.

I never did it myself but I would try this in your WASession subclass

updateRoot: aRoot
        "your stuff here"
        super updateRoot: anHtmlRoot
