Orbeon Xforms styling info

FParsons
I've looked at the wiki and the documentation and find scattered information on CSS styling info, is there a page that is a complete reference on the topic?  I think this is something that would be greatly appreciated! Personally I find styling Orbeon Xforms confusing since it's non-standard, and I get tired of guessing if something is going to work.  Am I correct that there is really no other place than the Orbeon websites where you can find info on this Orbeon-specific form of styling?

In searching the archives I found one post where a user asked if Orbeon was going to support the "standard" way of styling (using the @namespace directive) - the response was "probably one day". Anyone know if this is being worked on? Is it something that would most likely not be available anytime soon?

Francis,

I would say that the best way to approach styling is to:

1. Make sure you use the span layout (this is not the default):
<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.xforms.xhtml-layout"
value="nospan"/>. This will give you more flexibility when it comes to
styling controls in CSS, and produces a more consistent output.

2. Use Firebug to see what is produced, and style it in consequence.
