Dart, Polymer and Foundation CSS - dart

I tried mixing polymer web component w/dart and Foundation CSS framework and so far things simple things are working like button, grid, menu. I guess if i run into an issue, I just need to port the javascript I need to dart. Anyone try this or thinking of trying this?
This was trick to get CSS to leak into component.
class ClickCounter ... {
...
bool get applyAuthorStyles => true;
...

Yes I try this too.
The first thing I tried was create one style file for each component and use the sass #extends to make each component style, my goal was to abstract the zurb, so if I want change the theme, or css framework I just need change the sass file.
But zurb-foundation depends on a base file that have to be include, I can't create one file just for buttons, because de buttons in foundation depend on variables seted in the main file, this generate a huge file with redundant css for each component.
The second thing I tried was warp the basic components, like button, lets say a
<x-button></x-button>
Then in my sass file I include the zurb button file, and make x-button #extends .button or #include .button that make buttons and x-button with the same look. This work for basic elements.
The other way is to applyAuthorStyles and let the css leak
I'm not sure what is the best way, because each approach has its pitfalls.
Why I wrap basic components? To have common behavior and API. For example: enable and disable components, in a form. All my basic components in polymer (x-button, x-input, etc) extends from my framework class, in this framework class I have the common behavior enable and disable, so I can progamattic enable and disable components with the same API.
This is a slow work in proggress, more for fun, and I stop working on this because I need to spend more time creating applications and not creating frameworks. Unfortunately there is no good component framework for Dart as in Javascript like ExtJs and Dojo.
But the Idea was make a component set (with common behavior) and use sass frameworks to the visual effect, maybe abstract the css framework in a way it can be plug and change the look and feel of the application, and that is not easy because some components have specific html markup

Bootstrap import only you need without SASS

I don't use Bootstrap, but 1 thing made me use it.
The class collapse with certain button.
I have got more than 2 thousand line of CSS and when I linked and imported BOOTSTRAP, it started remaking all my styles. In another word, Bootstrap styles and My Own CSS styles are collapsing and making unusable and ugly UI.
The question is:
Can I include only style classes that I really need?
Googled :D
I have no XP in this situation...
Within the bootstrap documentation I have found that you can download the styles separately, selecting which ones you need

What is the use of jquery.mobile.structure-1.0.css in jquery mobile

I have a question. When i am creating an application in rhomobile jquery.mobile.structure-1.0.css present inside /public/jqmobile. My question
1) What is the use of jquery.mobile.structure-1.0.css
2) jquery.mobile.structure-1.0.css was not included anywhere (in layout.erb) the application. Then why jquery.mobile.structure-1.0.css is present. I try to find the use of jquery.mobile.structure-1.0.css but not getting good result. Any one can explain?
The structure CSS is used to make a completely custom theme, where you do not want to rely on any of the default themes that come with jQuery Mobile. It's a very basic bare bones stylesheet. You can use it in place of the main jQuery Mobile stylesheet, then you create your own stylesheet to override and customize.
Personally I seperate the structure css out so I can make changes to my themes without causing any major issues to the new theme.css architecture. Makes it a bit easier to make upgrades as new versions come out. Though it is a little tricky to verify that there are no new additions to the themes. I wouldn't use overrides on the base themes a,b,c,d, - I find it's better to build your own themes using those as bases, e,f,g, etc...

Stop f:ajax From Auto Including JavaScript jsf.js?ln=javax.faces

I am using the standard f:ajax component in a couple of my pages, and I would like to have this component not automatically import the jsf.js?ln=javax.faces JavaScript file so that I can load it myself in a copy that I just save along with my other static resources in my app.
Is there a way to disable the automatic include of this JavaScript file, and am I going to be missing out anything if I serve it myself?
Thanks.

Is there a ready-made CSS I can download to style my forms in Symfony?

I just defined some forms in /lib/form/doctrine/ But the form elements currently don't have any CSS formatting.
Is there a default stylesheet that I can quickly copy/paste to style the forms, error messages, etc.?
It's not out of the box for Symfony but Blueprint CSS is a nice CSS framework, and when I used symfony 1.4, it used to color automatically the errors (I don't know if they changed the class names and stuff).
It's a bit heavy, but it ensures a solid structure if you use it for your development.
I just used Symfony's CSS from the admin. It was exactly what I was looking for - good results with minimal effort. Thanks for the suggestion cuhuak.

Strategies for dealing with CSS in ASP.Net MVC UserControls

I have just started playing with the ASP.Net MVC framework, and today I created a simple UserControl that uses some CSS. Since the CSS was declared in a separate file and included in the View that called the UserControl, and not in the UserControl itself, Visual Studio could not find any of the CSS classes used in the UserControl. This got me thinking about what would be the most appropriate way of dealing with CSS in UserControls.
Declaring the CSS in the View that is using the UserControl gives more flexibility if the same control is used in different contexts and needs to be able to adapt to the style of the calling View.
Having the UserControl supply its own CSS would lead to a more clear separation, and the Views would not need to know anything about the HTML/CSS generated by the UserControl, but at the cost of a fixed look of the control.
Since I am totally new to the framework, I'm guessing people have already come to some good conclusions about this.
So, would you have the UserControl handle its own CSS, should it depend on the CSS declared in the calling View, or is there another, better solution?
If you look at a skinable toolkit like Yahoo UI it documents the classes used by each control and then provides a single skin file for the entire toolkit. By swapping out the single skin file you can change looks for your entire site.
I would assume that 99.9% of the time you would want to custom skin your controls and not have them come predefined with a look and feel.
As an example here are the CSS defines for Yahoo's TabView control
It should always be in your global CSS really. If you pass this on to a designer, you dont want to have to explain which control defines x style, etc.
A quick point... it's ok for your Views to be aware of HTML... that's what they are for. What I would recommend (if you want to be ubber cool), is to add a parameter to your "MVC UserControl" that specifies the class name. Example:
<%= MyHelperClass.Marquee("This text will scroll!!!", "important-text") %>
I'm of course pretending that "important-text" is the class name that I want to add to my control.
I am assuming that when you say "UserControl", you're referring to an example like in that link above.
