Notes on DOM style support, or: Everything you ever wanted to know
|
||
|
|
about Perignon, but managed to avoid asking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Data Structures:
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
Style data is represented by sets of disjoint trees, rooted on the
|
||
|
|
innermost element type (simple selector). The sets are stored in a
|
||
|
|
hash table. It's easier to understand with a picture, so here goes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Legend:
|
||
|
|
-- ``enclosing''
|
||
|
|
| ``sibling''
|
||
|
|
(=...) ``rule''
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Style data:
|
||
|
|
H1 { color:blue }
|
||
|
|
H1 A { color:red }
|
||
|
|
H1 B A { color:green }
|
||
|
|
B A { color:purple }
|
||
|
|
A:link { color:orange }
|
||
|
|
.A { color:forclassA }
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A -- B (=color:purple) -- H1 (=color:green)
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| H1 (=color:red)
|
||
|
|
|
|
||
|
|
A:link (=color:orange)
|
||
|
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
|
||
|
|
.A (=color:forclassA)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
H1 (=color:blue)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that there are no rules on the ``A'' selector. If the only rule
|
||
|
|
in the sheet for ``A'' was the ``A:visited'' one, a dummy selector
|
||
|
|
would be added, since the hash table is keyed on the pseudo-less
|
||
|
|
selector.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Classes (".H1") and IDs ("#H1") are chained in the sibling list with
|
||
|
|
their like-named tags.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A selector can correspond to a tag, class or id, depending on the
|
||
|
|
value of the type field. If a class selector applies to the magic
|
||
|
|
``all'' class, it will have no extra field. Otherwise, the extra
|
||
|
|
field will be the tag selector. If a tag selector has an ID as well,
|
||
|
|
it will be found in the extra field.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
JSSS:
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perignon currently depends on JSSS to populate it, but someday I should
|
||
|
|
implement DOM_StyleParseRule for the heathens that just use CSS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CSS2:
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I don't do CSS2 selectors yet. I don't yet know how much I care about
|
||
|
|
that, because I don't yet know what CSS2 selectors are. =)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Questions:
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Do visited links get A:link properties as well? They don't appear to in
|
||
|
|
the current implementation, but to my mind they should (unless, of course,
|
||
|
|
such properties are overridden by A:visited rules).
