thanks for the reply.
i think i started down the right path (and resolved my initial confusion)after sending out this message, but am i able to pass the "gui" template a filename to then be parsed as part of the tmpl_include (which, then in turn, will be parsed)? ideally, i'd like to reference one gui template for all the pages and simply supply H-T a name of that page-specific .tmpl to parse into the area "x". i was thinking i'd have to parse the entire x.tmpl into a string and supply that as a tmpl_var when i parse through the gui.tmpl. the separate two calls don't necessarily bother me at this point, but didn't understand if H-T was able to do such a thing. thanks. --- Karen Cravens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 5 Sep 2002 at 11:28, csajl wrote: > > > the tmpl_include function works but only as far as vertical layout blocks > are > > concerned (or am i missing something?). > > You're missing something.
