[Seaside] OK to directly call (#renderContentOn: html) of sub-component ?

[John Thornborrow]

Sophie,

Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn't it be best and just plain easier to
instantiate and render your child components like so?

renderContentOn: html
  "Parent rendering.."
  self div
    id: 'parent';
    with: [ | child |
      "child rendering"
      child := ChildComponent new options: #('some' 'options').
      html render: child
    ]

Regards,
John.
