You can have one layout wrapping another component, like a menu or a sidebar. Of course they are declared into separeted .html's. Then, into the Layout component you can 'call' the other components, like this call to an existing Menu component into your workspace:
<html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";> <head> <title> &{title}</title> <link href="${layoutCSS}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" height="100%"> <t:menu/> <!-- this is the default for calling any component --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" height="100%"> <t:body>Page content goes here.</t:body> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> and under src/main/resources/org/example/myapp/components you must declare the Menu.html file just like this: <html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";> <a t:type="PageLink" page="foo">FOO</a> </html> and the menu will be inserted on the location declared inside the Layout component. I'm not sure if you have to create a Menu.java too, but i ever do. here you can also specify multiple templates, but the difference, at least in this example, is that you have a 'main' wrapper that define the 'face' of you app by a default call (t:body/>) and explicit calls to specified components. Is that what you meant? 2007/8/23, Angelo Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Hi Marcelo, > > This works, thanks.
