Hi everyone
me again and as usual I know my question will sound a bit dim but here goes anyway. If I just want to add an extra style attribute to the page div is there a simple way to do it. I understand (and have successfully with a lot of help) added things using my actions within the HTML tags but I have never tackled adding extra style attributes. I have looked at the
function GetCSSAttribute(tag, fieldName, attributeName)
within the manual and “my goodness” this looks like an enormous amount of code just to add 1 attribute, is this the only way?
If someone could point out, what I need to use so I can add some extra style attributes or if there was a simple alternative then that would very handy
Yes. The issue is that internally, Freeway stores the styles applied
to an element as a single string, rather than an object or some other
key:value data structure. I have rewritten the get and set CSS
functions slightly, my versions follow in a Gist.

I thought this might be the case (it looks so complicated )
So just so I can try and get my head around what you have shown
Do I have to have both parts to add an attribute: so that would be the SetCSSAttribute and the GetCSSAttribute
and sorry for being slow here, but
Where in all that script does the action pinpoint the PageDiv style as the one I want to target.
Normally I would look for a tag like style or body and once I have that I can then add to it but I just don’t recognise an of the script, especially the: (/^s*(S*(s+S+))s$/, “$1”); //javascript equivalent of trim part.
I have no idea what this is referring to, so I wouldn’t know if I had to adjust it and to what to.
Again (and as usual) apologies for my lack of knowledge
You’ll need to get a handle on the PageDiv separately, then run the
function against it, inserting your handle as the tag attribute (the
first attribute) of the function. Off the top of my head:
function fwAfterEndBody(){
var divs = fwDocument.fwTags.fwFindAll("div");
for(i in divs){
var div = divs[i];
if(div.id && div.id == 'PageDiv'){
addCSSAttribute(div, 'class',
'myNewClassName');
}
}
}

Hi Pems
I thought I better chuck this in as an alternative (Although this is probably not ideal). and a bit of a ham fisted way to do something.
If I have read your request correctly then what you are trying to do is add a style attribute and not change one.
Well there is a simple cheat… rather than having to add the script as walter has mappped out which is the correct way, you can just tack on to the end… what I mean by that is use something like this on the Page div once you have got a handle on it.
code fagment:
tagAsText = tagAsText.replace(/">/g,'; add your attriubute here">');
as long as you have found your pageDiv then this would remove the "> from the end of the style attribute and then replace it with add your attriubute including the ">
it does have some shortcomings but it at least it means it’s not a huge amount of code to add just an attriubute
