If, like myself, you have arrived at XPages after being a sole client developer, the whole world of Javascript and CSS may be a bit of a challenge. Thankfully, pre-written scripts slot in nicely and with a little digging and trial and error you can normally work out how to change a couple of colours.
The other week, I wanted to create an XPage application from scratch. No OneUI, no frameworks, just me and a blank canvas. I found myself creating panels and tables in order to get the design to look almost exactly the same as it does in designer. This worked to an extend but got more and more tricky as the design developed.
Time to learn some CSS!
I've read a couple of posts, started to read one or two books but nothing else on the web captured my attention as well as the following tutorial. I strongly recommend it for beginners
CSS Tutorial for Complete Beginners
Good luck!
