John I'm assuming I'm checking out the displaytag2 module from cvs correct? Also where do I submit my diff file to once created?
Also I don't think it should be necessary to specify which order to display... because if you want the property displayed you specify that and leave the body blank. If you want the body you put something there and specify the property (for sorting if you want). If you only want the body you put something there and nothing in the property. And finally if you dont want anything you leave both blank! =) Thanks, David ----- Original Message ----- From: "John York" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 3:03 PM Subject: Re: [displaytag-devel] Column href links, target? > That makes more sense to me.
