List of classes and ids

Post by Bitdaf »

It would be really nice if when this point is reached:

... class="

A list of classes, as defined in the linked style sheet, would appear/allow selection/complete the action.

Sorry if this does exist - I didn't see it.

Thanks

It does, but just not how you'd expect! ;)
Complete the tag (ie, leave the class blank) then go back and use the inspector. A bit of a fiddle, but it might be improved soon!

Demo of what I mean, here.

Ah ... I see. Thanks.

Yes - that's clumsy. I would be looking for more of smooth bit like TopStyle.

Thanks again!

Take this to the next level

This is a good idea. But can it be integrated so that we can not only reference an existing class or id, but create one?

Maybe it could be linked to (or replace) the code that generates deprecated HTML. We can create CSS styling on an element, but the style is created "inline." And inline CSS is pretty much a violation of everything that CSS is trying to do (separation of content and presentation).

Unless I'm missing something, the Inspector treats the class=" as HTML, not as CSS. Yes, there are entries called "class" and "id" in the Inspector, but they don't suggest any existing classes, and they shouldn't be mixed in with HTML tags (IMO).

Again, what I'd like to do is to be able to create CSS classes and ids (not inline CSS) while working with HTML. Maybe it would need to have an associated Style Sheet open, or maybe it could create the class or id in the head -- that's a minor concern.
