Thank you Mark for replying. That's not my case. The layout component will have to refer to components defined in it's tml file.
Anyway I tried that yesterday, still an error message appeared saying that "Start" doesn't have handlers for the fired events. I found this page http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5SimpleAndPowerfulLayouts <http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5SimpleAndPowerfulLayouts>Which made me think, why am I using layouts ? It's more convincing to me that layouts are best for pages utilizing a layout component and that's it. My design is more about components. So far I'm only using a single page and didn't benefit from the layout thing, I implemented something I don't need, guess I was just trying to explore tapestry. I'll implement the idea in that page and get back to you with any good info I reach. Thank you very much for your time :) On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 12:53 PM, Mats Andersson <mats.anders...@ronsoft.se>wrote: > Hi, > > Why not have everything in the layout component, both event handlers and > zone?
