I am curious to hear from the experts on this one. When working in a CMS (Drupal, in my case) how often do you create classes for unique, single-page elements, vs just styling something inline?
My example: I needed to specify a background image for a div. I just styled the div inline, since that particular image was only going to be used on that page. Disclaimer: this is on my company’s corporate site – not a blog or personal site.
How often does that happen to you, and how do you handle it?
I definitely never use any inline styles. I also would never have a div go into the content area, what could the use be? If it’s a custom template, then it should be as such.
When I create some custom graphics for a landing page, I don’t necessarily want to create an entirely new template. Since I’m really a one-man shop, I designed all our content templates to be very flexible, so I can do whatever I want within a certain area.
The page I’m referring to in the initial post is here: http://www.p2energysolutions.com/knowledge-center/securing-knowledge.
Could be that I’m not following best-practices, but it works for me, being the content creator, the graphics designer, and the webmaster. I also use divs in the content areas all the time – to float images, for example.
