Hi,

I tried to use TLabel with inline styles. That does not work as expected:

TLabel is always AutoSized in the height
TLabel always creates a rectangular background, even if you specify rounded
corners.

Can't you create a component that executes the CSS style, but keeps the size
that I specify? Would be great is the rest of the properties of TLabel are
available too.

Greetings,
Ronald

You're fighting against the framework's control of the DOM element styling
with custom styles, and trying to do things in the "old fashioned" way.  In
general, if you want to use customized DOM elements, you should define your
own TControl descendant and implement it accordingly.  If you look at the
TLabel source code in the WebCtrls unit, you will see how such a control is
implemented.  You can set all of a DOM element's styles programmatically
based upon properties that you defined for your custom control.  It's much
neater and cleaner than using inline styles directly as HTML tags.

You have a point there. I tried the quick and dirty road. I will study your
sourcefiles, now.
