thanks David that worked :)
related to my other thread about lenses, i am using your recommended
method to substitute a field by defining the <table/> within the <div
ex:role="view" ex:viewClass="Tabular"/>... but i also wish to have a
lens on this over-riden tabular view... how can i do this? simply
defining the lens along with the <table/> does not appear to work :(
thanks,
Yee.
