Is there some logic to what gets both a set and a get, and what gets just a get?
If IDL says an attribute is readonly then only get. If not, then set and get.
Also, is there an easy way for me to manipulate the attributes, for example "height" for a particular tag/dom element?
If this is a DOM attribute, use set'height. If this is a style attribute, see below.
How about functionality for setting an element's position / dimensions, analogous to setElementPosition / setElementDimensions in mochikit (which I'm using now).
Mochikit probably has some wrappers around CSS to work cross browser. If you would like to manipulate styles directly, use "inlineStyle" function first (see CDOM/Level2/DomUtils.hs), then use setters and getters on the TCSS2Properties object. inlineStyle inp (set'borderWidth "0px") $ \_ -> Nice thing about setters, you may chain them together: inlineStyle inp (set'borderWidth "0px") (set'fontSize "14pt") $ \_ -> But then you need to remember how different browsers name same attributes (note that EchoCPS2 is not colored correctly in MSIE, while in FF it is green on black - correct coloring).
I wish Mochikit had any IDL specs for their interfaces (or perhaps some XML which with medium amount of pain might be converted to IDL). Is there any? Thank you. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
