Emil,<br>I don't want to get into a debate here - this is too small a point. Just note this:<br><ol><li>I am not saying inline styles are good. I am saying they are okay, depending on the context. They certainly aren't bad or wrong, and they have their place. Pick up any reliable resource on the web - they will recommend against inline styles with a caveat, that they shouldn't be used <i>if</i> you want to offer the ability to override them. One way to interpret this is, "They are fine if you don't care about the ability to override them". In the cases that I use them, I make sure that the user has no reason to override them. Correctness here is really a question of context.<br>
</li><li>None of the links you have provided says inline styles must not be used - you can go through them. Thus it is not the official position of WP. Frankly I would be surprised if this is made an official position, in which case using the "css" function of JQuery should be disallowed too, in favour of "addClass".</li>
</ol>I have never officially reviewed a theme, however I do follow this thread very closely. You are a WPTRT admin and thus your word carries weight amongst other reviewers. It is just that I have coded some insanely complex scenarios and I have come up against more "exception" situations than most other developers. I am just trying to bring to light some such scenarios.<br>
<br>Sayontan.<br><br>PS: I take the "lazy" developers as a compliment. As per Larry Wall (the
creator of Perl), "The three chief virtues of a programmer are:
Laziness, Impatience and Hubris".<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 7:11 PM, Emil Uzelac <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:emil@themeid.com" target="_blank">emil@themeid.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
