And what if there is an url alias? How can you get the nid in a block’s code, if the nid is not in the url?

We are getting ready to start developing in Drupal but we have been researching the differences between Drupal an WordPress and the effects of CSS with both… Can anyone provide any feedback between the pros and cons of each? Thanks!

Comment on Proposal for a CSS ancestor grouping syntax by Greg

What I’d really like to see is being able to modify an element’s style if it contains another element, such as:

tr < td < input[type=checkbox][checked] {
background-color: grey;
}

The style would apply to the tr element that had a child td that had a child checkbox that was checked. So you could highlight rows if a checkbox is checked in that row. There would be other useful scenarios, but that’s the most obvious. It’s annoying to have to use javascript to accomplish that. Then again, it might be insanely difficult and/or processor-intensive to allow for that in browsers, I don’t know.

(resubmitted because the server thought my markup was html and removed it)

That is an interesting concept and I am up for anything that would help consolidate CSS files. Only issue I can see coming up is if that change to syntax would cause CSS rendering to become slower due to the additional parsing of rules by the browser. As rarely as CSS files are accessed, I don’t think that the CSS saved using that method would be beneficial to the user. There is also the issue with backwards compatibility, because this will surely not work on browsers that do not adapt this spec. Things to think about it…

nice post, this is an awesome project that would benefit many small business and individuals. I remember when I used to use excel and it was just so time consuming.

Thanks again!
