Thanks Howard, I really appreciate taking the time to answer my beginner question.
I have a followup question that maybe you could answer for me: If I use the layout mechanism you've described, and I have 10 Pages (Start -> UserHome -> Preferences -> ad naseum), will I be forced to have an HTML file for each of those pages that loads a different ComponentTemplate? Or can I associate one HTML with different Components based on the Start.java / UserHome.java class? I'm worried that if I want to make a change to my site design, I'll then have to make the changes to 10 HTML files. I feel like I must be missing something, so if you could point me in the right direction, that'd be great! Ki On 4/18/07, Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It's a class of component we call a "layout" or a "border".
