Hi Pablo,

I have not used Seaside for a while, the following tips could have 
changed
with recent version of Seaside.

- You must have a static content server (Comanche is able to do this)
- You must configure the "Document Root" of your application in Seaside
    to point to your static content server.

In your component define the following method:

template
	^ IAFileTemplate new
		file: 'toto.html';
		bindWith: [:t | self addBindingsTo: t]
