If seaside is truly capable of being integrated with external libraries (and I cast no doubt on this), then it should be possible for the enthusiasts for templates to resurrect the template system, or write their own.<br><br>

vastly superior to the tools for dealing with html. Seaside's throwing out<br> templates is one of its best and most bold features.<br> <br><br> Ramon Leon<br> <a href="http://onsmalltalk.com">http://onsmalltalk.com</a><br>
