dojox.mobile.app and stylesheets

[Paul Christopher]

It's not really a bug, but rather a concern/ a question I want to share:

The application controller / stage controller is a nice thing because you can separate different parts ("scenes") of an application in the code.

But consider a larger iPad app. For each scene I need to add specific css styles. At the moment, I don't use the stage controller but split my app in different html pages. Each html page has its own style sheet.

But how does this work using the stage controller? At the moment, you can only include one css file in the header of main html file. Does it mean that you need to put all the styles in one css file?

Thus: The "separation of concerns" with the stage controller seems to works fine for your js code, but does not work at all for your css styles you need to apply to make your app look great apart the normal design and functionality.

[How about all the widgets that need special css like e.g. tab bar? Do these style sheets all clutter up the main html file?]

dojox/mobile/app is deprecated in favor of dojox/app, and presumably will be removed in 2.0, so seems like we should mark this as wontfix.
