Hi Thadeus,
Thanks for your input. Perhaps you could provide a couple of examples,
as I'm a little confused.
In my example, I intended the function 'mark' to only return this:
DIV(IMG(_src=URL(r=request,c='static',f='icons/
star.png'),_class='icons',_title='Remove from favourites',_alt='Remove
from favourites'),_id="fav").xml()
Basically a div containing an image, which I thought would be
serialized as that single portion, not as an entire view, resulting in
the page within page problem. Cleary still have much to learn. Could
you help me out further?
Thanks
