Denes, I'm a little dense. You sent me down the right path and I just had to struggle with it a little.
I didn't realize you could simply build response.title in in the controller and it "just works". Then I had to unroll the tuple I built. It's all good now, though! Thanks! In case someone stumbles upon this thread, here's what I did: controller: theTitle = ctab.title, str(timestart), "to", str(timeend) response.title = " ".join(theTitle) layout.html: <title>{{=response.title or URL()}}</title> -- Lorin Rivers Mosasaur: Killer Technical Marketing <http://www.mosasaur.com> <mailto:lriv...@mosasaur.com> 512/203.3198 (m)
