I'm trying to make a app that will look through an xml file and decide what components to use for each <item> based on some meta data. So I'm thinking about puting the createChild tag within the function based on if statements to choose between a few different compontents to display the data. Can you think of a better way of doing this? Or do you think this is a good path? I was also thinking of just using a for loop instead of the repeater. Don't know how each will work.
Thanks for the help. On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 16:00:53 -0800, Abdul Qabiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Where do you want to attach the component.
