Also, it's not really necessary, or even a good idea, to combine all JS files into one big JS minimize file for a number of reasons.

It is not good to "over optimize" and little really great comes of it, in my view.

Most sites like this are changing often and there is always a lot of Javascript code to write, modify, change and debug. Creating "mothers of all minimized Javascript files" make things "a nightmare" and it is better to smartly combine them, and that cannot be done by tool because we need to know that we are developing, where the issues are, what is changing, and what is static.

But anyway, I'm not focused on it and it is not on the site development critical path to worry about minimizing more JS and CSS. I have a lot more important functional code to write for the next month or so.

Cheers and Thanks!

I usually combine and minify them dynamically based on filetime, no issue even if you modify or change code it will work.

- create md5 hash of file to be combined and minified based on filetime.
- check filename with above generated hash exists.
- if exists just readfile otherwise combine and minify them and then serve to client.

One more probably you missed, "Toggle Forum Collapse" button plus symbol not changing when its expanded.

CSS frameworks

I have been reading up on CSS frameworks, to see if it could be useful for an intranet that I am helping to build, but the true purpose does not become clear to me. What circumstances would the deployment of a CSS framework be useful in? What does a CSS framework do that a CMS template cannot do?

css::dom::value

CSS::DOM::Value(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      CSS::DOM::Value(3pm)

NAME

       CSS::DOM::Value - CSSValue class for CSS::DOM

VERSION

       Version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

	 # ...

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements objects that represent CSS property values. It implements the DOM CSSValue interface.

       This class is used only for custom values (neither primitive values nor lists) and the special 'inherit' value.

METHODS

   Object Methods
       cssText
	   Returns a string representation of the attribute. Pass an argument to set it.

       cssValueType
	   Returns one of the constants below.

   Constructor
       You probably don't need to call this, but here it is anyway:

	 $val = new CSS::DOM::Value %arguments;

       The hash-style %arguments are as follows:

       type
	   "CSS_INHERIT" or "CSS_CUSTOM"

       css A string of CSS code. This is only used when "TYPE" is "CSS_CUSTOM".

       owner
	   The style object that owns this value; if this is omitted, then the value is read-only. The value object holds a weak reference to the
	   owner.

       property
	   The name of the CSS property to which this value belongs. "cssText" uses this to determine how to parse text passed to it.

CONSTANTS

       The following constants can be imported with "use CSS::DOM::Value ':all'".  They represent the type of CSS value.

       CSS_INHERIT(0)
       CSS_PRIMITIVE_VALUE(1)
       CSS_VALUE_LIST(2)
       CSS_CUSTOM(3)
