1. I think you accidentally a <style> tag

2. Your example would have atrocious load time implications for any non-trivial web page. Iterating the DOM through querySelectorAll to replace items at load time? Yikes!

So apparently with Sciter you can either have minimal code or acceptable performance. Got it. Would rather have my cake and eat it too.



My sample is correct.

CSS prototype property is a Sciter specific extension.

When the engine computes styles it does [if needed] this (pseudocode):

   Object.setPrototypeOf(element, thatClass);
   element.componentDidMount();
on applied elements.

There is no "performance sacrifice" in case of handling prototype properties.

Prototypes are switchable if needed:

  div.beer { prototype: Beer url(...); }
  div.beer:hover { prototype: BeerHovered url(...); }


Oh geez. It's Internet Explorer CSS Behaviors all over again.

"Those who do not learn from the past…"


Close but not exactly, there is no esoteric HTC stuff for example.

   element.selector {
     prototype: ClassName url(in-module.js);
     color: blue;
     ...
   }
That above is significantly better than almost-dead-at-birth WebComponents:

   let customElementRegistry = window.customElements;
   customElementRegistry.define('my-custom-element', MyCustomElement);
One simple CSS property instead of 20+ additional entities https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components

Used quite a lot actually, on half of machines where Sciter is installed (~500..600 mln machines :)


Web Components is a marketing coup. It’s a great name. People wish it existed and did the thing it says. So they ignore that customElement and shadow DOM are two terrible APIs that are best ignored by 99% of developers…

Meanwhile, shit that would actually help framework authors, like native morphDOM don’t happen.
