2.6. Scripting the CSS template with the expression language

An important benefit that the expression language brings is that you can use it to script the CSS template file of your themes (see paragraph Chapter 1: Styles).

This example shows how to use MWT APIs in the CSS template the write a selector that works as a container for the XHTML elements in your widgets:

Example 2.4. Scripting the CSS template with the expression language: a container with the current device width

		
	.cointainer { width: ${mwt:width()}px; }

The next example shows how to use style options in the template file:

Example 2.5. Scripting the CSS template with the expression language: retrieving values of style options

		
	.title {
			font-weight: bold; 
			background-color: ${mwt:css('TITLE_BG_COLOR')}; 
			color: ${mwt:css('TITLE_FG_COLOR')}; 
	}
