[Seaside] Default classes for form input tags?

[Boris Popov]

Good point, thanks. I walked into this as I was integrating a new round of
changes from our designer and had a bit of a head-scratcher when things were
out of whack. I guess I'll just ask him not to use any of the types as
selectors: text, submit, radio, password, image, hidden, file, checkbox,
button.

Speaking of silly things like that, any chance we could get an FAQ (or just
Q&A) page over at seaside.st? If yes, I don't mind updating it with stuff as
I stumble upon the more interesting bits hoping to attract others to join
in. There are a few Seaside FAQ's out there, but they seem to be maintained
separately and honestly some of them are just a tad obsolete.

Cheers,

-Boris

I don't remember when that change was made, or what the specific  
reason for it was.  I can say, however, that it's a pretty useful  
thing to have, in that it lets you use selectors like input.text or  
input.password in your CSS...
