CSS Auto Complete is a superb tool, in that within the HTML when you define an entity with an ID or class and are presented with a list of available CSS ID's and classes from the linked stylesheets.
The problem here is that this only works for traditional HTML stylesheets, where something is included by <link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyles.css" type="text/css" />
Many developments now however have dynamically determined style sheet links.
- This is the standard stylesheet link from header.php for pretty much every Wordpress development I've ever created.
- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" />
Rapid PHP and WeBuilder cannot determine where this CSS file is located, as it depends on what the actual server will deliver when the web page is rendered.
So none of the style sheet definitions can therefore be included in the drop down menus for classes and IDs.
Would be so good if something could be added to a file or even better to the entire project, to say: Please also consider styles from this location / file.
The styles.css file for the Wordpress developments is even in the same directory as the header.php file above, but as we rarely use the traditional html reference method anymore it never gets included, so we lose the great ability to choose from drop down lists
This seems like a fairly small ask, but would create a whole new world of possibilities.

Re: Reference Additional Dynamic External Style Sheets
Yes - this is a suggestion (that's why it's in the WeBuilder Feature Requests section
)
Blumentals have got back to me persoanlly on this and are adding it to their todo list.
Seems like they think it's a good idea.
This request is probably something like the Library Paths option currently in Project Properties, but just for CSS files.
