Generate additional CSS classes

Okay, so, what if you wanted to arbitrarily apply different style rules to specific parts of the forum? i.e. a certain category?

A quick solution to this would be to populate the body tag of forum pages with CSS IDs and classes based on certain factors, such as page names or forum/category IDs. So for instance, viewing the category page for Feature requests would result in:

<body id="flux-vf" class="fid-9">

I could see potential uses for this.

The only potential use I could see for this off-hand is for jQuery or JavaScript functions - coul you explain a bit more how you think this would be useful?

Make a style and use templates. Look at Victory for an example.

Yeah, but styles cannot really do much in templates. The aforementioned example couldn't be done without changing viewforum.php.

I do think, though, that something like "forum-9" should be the ID, and the item should have an additional class "forum".

Yeah, that's what I was wanting. More semantics in the HTML code.
