Hi, since I hope to help other Tapestry newbies, let me share the solution to my hours of battle. This was a total noob mistake that bothered me over a couple weeks.
Background: I had a home page that was using a Border component. Everything was fine. Made a component that had an AJAX autocompleter in it. Embedded the component in the home page. Oh, well I needed to add the @Shell component to the home page so that the home page will get the necessary scripts inserted. Everything is fine at this point. Several times I tried to move the @Shell component from my Home page to my Border component. Each time my AJAX subcomponent would break. Stupid problem: I just noticed that my Home page had been set up like this: <html> <body jwcid="$content$"> <span jwcid="@Border" title="Home Title"> Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah </span> <span jwcid="@tests/AJAXComponent" /> </body> </html> The AJAX component wasn't working because it was outside of the @Border span! Specific Symptoms: The component was still rendering, and the error handling and form submit still worked, but the autocompleter was not getting it's selection model or updating itself. Solution: <html> <body jwcid="$content$"> <span jwcid="@Border" title="Home Title"> Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah <span jwcid="@tests/AJAXComponent" /> </span> </body> </html> Now my Border happily uses the Shell component for all my pages...for now. =) Daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
