<div>Well, all the descendents of WATagBrush have methods for adding the usual attributes, i,e:</div>
<div>html div class: 'adiv'; id: 'anId'; with [ etc ]. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If there are any that do not have an explicit message you can always use attibutesAt: put: and for CSS in particular you can use the style: selector although its use is discouraged. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Take a look at WATagBrush, a descendent of WAGenericTag not a canvas (but in the Seaside-Canvas category).</div>

What I am looking for is the Smalltalk expressions used to create the HTML, i.e. the "receiver, message selector and arguments". For example, to display a url in HTML you would type:<font size="2"><br>
</font><pre style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><a href="<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/</a>">Visit W3Schools!</a></span><br>
<br>but in Smalltalk you would type the following in a "rendering" method:<br><br style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace">html anchor url: '<a href="http://www.3schools.com/" target="_blank">www.3schools.com</a>'; with: 'Visit W3Schools!'.</span><br>
<br>Now, without using CSS, you are able to change font, font-size, style etc. of the link above, but how is it done using Smalltalk expressions?<br>How, or where can I find information that will give me valid </font>"receiver, message selector and arguments"? I assume that the "receiver" will always<br>
be "html".<br><br>I hope that clarifies my question(s)? If it is a matter of just working your way through class libraries and comments (which ones?) then that<br>is what I will do. Just feels like there must be an easier way for finding the information. <br>
