Thanks Thiago... yes I am rendering Home.tml
But it is rigged up with a two level nesting of tabs housing at least 6+ pages each. What do I do ? When the selectValueEncoder gets called from the tml for my query form... I actually do my setupRender code there... but it feel kinda crooked doing it like that. Dmitry's suggestion to use blocks to compose all the pages by referential connecting worked. It does reduce code bloat. Can I do anything to make it better ? Thanks Ken
