I don't think those are the >>only two options. Absolutely not, you said "He was able to do it very quickly, because all he had to do was write a separate set of display code." This is fine, but the other side of the coin is that you end up with two different display templates, then 3, 4,... If they have some code identical and you have to modify this code, you now have 2, 3, 4 ... places to look at. What I mean is that nothing is PERFECT, so there is NO BEST practice, only good judgment to find the best way to do it depending on the situation. The method you describe may be fine for very large applications, but many people are also working on small and medium applications. A methodology good for large application may be a hassle for smaller applications. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
