You can also use the display of these (for debuggin) on your page -
see how welcome/views/generic.html accomplishes this.
Then there is firebug (firefox), and - if you _really_ want to get
heavy duty, you can always use wget or curl to grab the output of
pages (w/o having a browser in the way).... or simply use some "in the
middle" http packet monitor, such as wireshark (which won't work on a
localhost connection).
I'll bet between generic.html, and a good debugger on the server end,
you should be able to sort it out.
Somehow, it seems like this is too complicated - this stuff works just
simply.... so the other suggestion is to simplify, get to really,
really basic functioning before you build up what you are "really"
trying to make it look like.
