I had another look at your documentation, and I've found the Layout example inside the Component templates ( http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/guide/templates.html) page.
So basically, what you do is create a layout page, which will load all the shared js/css files and has setups the page. I tested it succesfully using the YUI reset-fonts-grids.css template. Next, I could insert another page in the part that you mark with <t:body/> (in this case, it's the main content area of the yui-t2 layout). The page you are inserting can therefore be very simple, and only contain a reference to the Layout template, and the body text (e.g.a beaneditform). However, is it also possible to insert multiple pages inside the layout, or would this mean inserting page into page into page? Second, how could the inserted page use AJAX, such that only this part of the page is regenerated? And now that I'm at it: I've used the beaneditform succesfully in a simple page, but when using it in a more complex page, the validation error messages don't show up again (the crosses do, as well as the red text). Any idea what could be the problem? On 6/10/07, Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
A master page will inject the other pages. The other pages will expose methods for accessing Blocks and components within themselves. The master phase makes use of render phase methods and/or the Delegate component to control what renders and when. This is how BeanEditForm and Grid components operate (as of 5.0.5).
