Hi all,

Sorry for the newbie questions, I'm curious as to how people working 
with tbnl/hunchentoot create/maintain their javascript and css files. If 
you use js/css generators, what are those (I know of only parenscript). 
If I'm using cl-who to generate my html, how can I include a .css or .js 
file in this code (or, where do I need to place these files to be 
accessible by hunchentoot?

TIA,
Vamsee.

I mostly use static css and js files.  I put them in the root directory
of my website and then create a handler for those specific extensions*.
If I have more than a few I simply put them into css/ and js/ folders.

To include them, just generate the relevant HTML code:

(:html 
  (:head 
    (:link :href "myfile.css" :rel "stylesheet" :type "text/css")
    (:script :src "myfile.js" :type "text/javascript" nil)
    ...

The last nil creates <script></script> which works better than <script/>

If I need to generate dynamic css or js snippets, I just put them into
the HTML page: <style> tags in head and <script> tags in head or body.

*: (create-extension-dispatcher-and-handler '("html" "css" "js"))  
where:
(defun create-extension-dispatcher-and-handler (extensions)
  (create-regex-dispatcher 
    (format nil "^/[^/]+\\.(~{~A~^|~})$" extensions)
    (lambda () (handle-static-file (string-left-trim "/" (script-name))))))

Thanks for the tips Toby, things are much clearer now. I posted a 
similar question to lispweb before seeing this reply. Sorry for the 
cross post.
