What does this change brings us? How does this work and what can we do with that

[Jan Blok]

When using/changing html templates and css you can target element better. (by class instead of id)

[Harjo]

oke, so far I got it!
but how do you set your own class names?

I know that you can to that, by fiddling around in the webdav folder, or setting your own classes by the webutils plugin.
We consider both a little bit of hacking, and not really developer-friendly..

So is there another way of doing that, that we don't know?

[pbakker]

When you set this property to true on the server, the className property you can set on elements in Servoy Developer already will get pushed into the class property on the DOM element in the generated markup.

Be careful using this though, as it is an all or nothing approach (whereas using the WebClientUtils plugin allows you to set additional classes per element) and the classnames you use could easily collide with classnames used by Servoy internally or 3rd party components.

if you want to use this and be on the save side, make sure to prefix all your used classnames in such a way that collisions are not likely.
