Two great replies to my query *********** Just to add to the thread, any -name=>'value' pair set in a hash ref passed as the first argument to a CGI object's html generating methods will be translated into tag attributes and values.
[trwww@devel_rh trwww]$ perl -MCGI -e '$q=new CGI; print( $q->div({-width=>"75%",-class=>"divClass",-style=>"align: right;",-foo=>"bar"}, "Hello world"), "\n");' <div class="divClass" width="75%" foo="bar" style="align: right;">Hello world</div> Todd W. *************** Janek also replied with $q->p({-style => 'color: red; font-size: 24pt'}, "some line of text"); and both refered me to LIMITED SUPPORT FOR CASCADING STYLE SHEETS from perldoc CGI where is that? I am a beginner. On a Mac. With a home page serviced by a remote ISP. No Linux contact. Todd is using the 'class='divClass' attribute in his line which is standard for a bare html page calling a css sheet, but where is the class being called from in this case? (My html work uses css sheets called from the local folder - not embeded css) (And to give you all a good laugh - baud rates of 200bits to 2.4K) Now - does that mean I can describe a :- $css_class1 = ('some standard css descriptor text); and then use it as the opening object in the $q->p(. . .) statement? I suppose doing a print <<TO_THE_END_OF_TEXT will let me dump a complete page with css inside . . BUT there must be a cleaner way!?
