I love delegate for this type of stuff. If you want to define a layout and let the page decide what goes in the layout define a block parameter and use delegate to render it: (this has been truncated and modified for brevity, so while this may not work out of the box it's full size cousin does work...) ------------ somepage.html ---------------- <t:layout xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";> <t:parameter name="sidebarContent"> Add this additional to the sidebar </t:parameter> All of this goes into the content section </t:layout> --------- layout.html ------------ <html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";> <head>...</head> <body> <div id="header">...</div> <div id="content-container"> <t:body/> </div> <div id="content-sidebar"> <!-- Let the page decide what goes in the sidebar --> <t:delegate to="sidebarContent"/> </div> <div id="footer">...</div> </body> </html> Enjoy, Josh On 8/23/07, Marcelo lotif <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You can have one layout wrapping another component, like a menu or a > sidebar.
