Hi Blair, Yes, I am displaying different menus with genericnav (the home nodes are at the same level, directly under root), but I also need to dynamically swap out displayHeader / displayFooters. as they have different requirements (for example, until I get verity set up fro japanese files, I need ot hide the search box, and this subsidiary has a different header logo) and I want to try and use the same webskin files for each content type.
