Style override broken in 3.1.2GA and 3.1.3CR2

cameronr Dec 10, 2007 8:34 PM

I am trying to override the tooltip style by providing my own css class for
rich-tool-tip.

Unfortunately this is never applied because the rich style is appended at the end of the head element overriding all other styles. The only way I can make it work is by using !important in my css.


<head>

<!-- My CSS include -->

<link href="/tcms/css/common.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
</link>

<title>Page</title>

<!-- rich faces css automatically appended -->
<link href="/tcms/faces/a4j_3_1_3.CR2org/richfaces/renderkit/html/css/tooltip.xcss/DATB/eAGTWzQ.BgAD.AG8" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
</link>
</head>

The relevant section from my web.xml

 <context-param>
 <param-name>org.richfaces.SKIN</param-name>
 <param-value>blueSky</param-value>
 </context-param>
 <filter>
 <display-name>Ajax4jsf Filter</display-name>
 <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
 <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
 <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
 <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
 <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
 </filter-mapping>

Do I have something configured wrong or is there something else I need to do?

Cheers
Cameron

what if you put your < link > after the < title > ?

That didn't help. Although I found something interesting:

The first time the page is loaded the rich css declaration is at the top of the element. I then use an a4j:command link to re-render part of the page (which, under the hood, does a RequestDispatcher.include()) and the css suddenly appears at the bottom of the element.

Does the javascript dom update on the reRender put the css statements at the top of the element?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Sure. Otherwise, how to style components that added during the reRendering.

Well.. this is exactly the problem I am having - as the css declarations are at the bottom of the element after the page is re-rendered.

What would you recommend I do to try and debug this? Is there some more information I can post here that would help you?

Curiously, this is exactly the problem we try to solve in 3.1.3. All stylessheets declared by components should be placed before any user's ones. This is how filter is suppose to work.

What is strange, that only you is the one who claims the problem occurs in 3.1.2GA.
We have one more similar claim, but it was about incorrect filter configuration.
