public class CssHtmlParameterPageWriter
extends HtmlParameterPageWriter

Writer that writes ParameterPage in html format with Cascading Style Sheet Objects and Styles embedded. In all cases, an external css style sheet has to be present and will be used for setting the styles of the parameter page. To set the path to the external css style sheet to use, use the method setCssFile(String cssFile).

The styles of each sub-component of a parameter page can be defined using CSS styles. Each sub-component is referenced by a CSS class name as described below 

 The following is an outline for the parameter page generated including CSS class names:
 
 <head>                    // generated through the writeHead() method
      <link>               // points to the location of the style sheet
 </head>
 <body>                    // generated through the writeBody() method
      <div class="paramTableTitle">
                           // generated through the writeTableTitle() method
      </div>
      <form>               // generated through the writeBodyBody() method in the superclass
           <table class="paramTable">
           
                <td class="paramTableCategory">
                           // display parameter titles, 
                </td>
                
                <td class="paramTableValues">
                     <div class="paramValue_X">
                          <select class="paramValue_X_value">
                           // display parameter values or inputbox, 
                           // X represents the index of the parameter
                          </select>
                     </div>
                </td>	
                
           // ... Repeat for each parameter
           </table>
           
           <input class="submitButton">
                           // button to submit the form
           <input class="resetButton">
                           // button to reset the form
      </form>
