As a relative newby to this, I could really use more documentation. The video was nice but much too short. For example, on the SV Style Options:

  • What are possible VIEW ID ATTRIBUTEs? I have no clue what's asked for here. A dropdown pick list would be really helpful here.
    Under GROUPING TITLE, what kind of ELEMENT is it looking for? Is this an html tag, or a field, or what? Again, a pick list might be good here.
    What are the available or useful CLASS ATTRIBUTEs? Where do I find them?
    Same under ROW. What are ELEMENTs, what are CLASS ATTRIBUTEs?
    The FIRST AND LAST CLASSES don't seem to do anything. I'd like to put horizontal rules between records, but if I enter "hr" tags in FIRST CLASS ATTRIBUTE and LAST CLASS ATTRIBUTE, nothing happens. The STRIPING CLASS ATTRIBUTES also don't seem to do anything, with the default "odd even" entries.

    • Same questions for the Row Style Options. What kind of ELEMENT is supported? Where can the CLASS ATTRIBUTEs be found?

    I really like the concept and the promise of this module but without more documentation I'm wasting a lot of time stumbling around.

    The terminology comes straight from HTML.

    elements are "h2" and "p" and "div." They usually appear inside angle < brackets >.

    Attributes are the key/value statements that are part of the elements. CLASS and ID attributes are the most commonly used attributes in HTML for themers because CSS selectors usually target HTML elements and class attributes.

    The value (let's call it CAT DOG) you give for a class attribute will be output as class="CAT DOG" If you put hr here, you are going to output class="hr".

    There are NO restrictions on what elements you can use, so it is very possible to set up a view that outputs BAD HTML... for example, you could create an unordered list but use divs for your row elements, giving you:

    <ul>
<div>...</div>
<div>...</div>
</ul>

    Does this clear it up at all? I wish I could provide 'live preview' output that shows you the HTML code instead of the rendered HTML, but I haven't found a way yet...
