Of CSS and XHTML

[Ludovic Dubost]

I've upload the work I've done recently on allowing bugzilla to support 
CSS..

The work is in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69654

However I have to warn any people wanting to play with it is that since 
this patch is based on a version of bugzilla that has significant 
patches applied, this patch needs a few other patches before being 
applied on bugzilla 2.17.6..

You can see a demo of a CSS based interface at
http://bzdev.xpertnet.biz/bzdemo/
(anybody can create accounts)

It has had the objective of been CSS2 Standard complient but has been 
mainly designed on Mozilla 1.4+ but should show up correctly (but not 
perfectly) in Internet Explorer.. Other browsers might have some 
problems as  it hasn't been tested..

If you go in the preferences section in 'User Interface Style' you can 
switch the interface to 'nostyle' and there is no CSS anymore and should 
show a (horrible) interface that should work on non advanced browsers 
and mobile devices.. This demonstrates skinning by making it possible to 
have multiple skins at the same time on one bugzilla installation..
