Auto complete after <tag style="

Post by racmaster »

I think it would be nice to have auto-complete pop up after I type style="
within a tag. I use it a lot to give various elements their own little individual styles here and there...

I agree! This should definitely have auto-complete on inline styles. that would be HUGE. Especially since I typically program using inline styles for my initial designs and once I am finished with it i then transfer to stylesheets or consolidate the classes.

Not poopooing the feature request but seriously, think twice before adding inline styles.

this

Code: Select all

  <p style="font-family: arial; color: red;">foobar</p>
isn't all the different from

Code: Select all

  <p><font-face=arial><font-color=red>foobar</font></font></p>
When it comes to trying to make global style changes on your site. Only takes a few secs to add a class="myclass" and then add it to your stylesheet. While I'm being annoying... also consider your classnames and try to describe the item, not the way it should look. If you add classes like "bold-red" and you later decide you want all those bits to be green and italic, your class name won't make sense. :) class="highlight" or class="callout" or whatevers describe the meaning, not the appearance...for example.

2 cents,
Will

Not to oppose what syrupcore suggested. However, we have recently found a solution to add also auto complete for inline styles.
This feature should be available with next update. :)
Kind regards,

not at all. I'm glad the feature will be there cause it'll be handy when the time comes. Still doesn't mean inline styles are always (or even usually) the best solution, code wise.
