Doesn't it make more sense to set the value on the page and have the page deal with it however it needs to -- in this case by setting the id on the component in the page.
It seems that the components used by a particular page are implementation details for that page that should not be exposed when there is another solution. The user of the page doesn't need to know about the Conversation component, only that the page needs an id to do it's job. Law of demeter and all that... -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
